As an outsider, I find it insane that a for-profit organisation managed to present itself as a scientific, professional organisation for years. But continuing to organise an alternative conference to undermine the not-for-profit EPSS is beyond insane. epssnet.org/uncategorize...

A common Q from British colleagues I keep getting is why isn’t asylum as salient in Spain’s political debate as in other countries like UK, given Spain had the 2nd most asylum apps in 2024 in EU (165K, after Germany)? Attitudes to immigration also remain quite favorable (ESS 2024).

Many people desperately wanted to see Starmer's LPC speech as a new direction on immigration and asylum. Yet, we clearly see a continuation of an approach that basically says Farage is right on policy but morally wrong. Others have tried it, it won't work. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights

People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

So: a) none of political assassins were students, or even shared a coherent ideology - shameful to blame universities b) Trump is already engaged in the attack on campus speech the Free Press wants c) I worry a lot more about the animosity to campus The Free Press is fueling than any of my students

The acceleration of political violence has been frightening: from the attack on the Capitol in January 2021, to the murder of a healthcare executive allegedly by Luigi Mangione, to the attempted assassinations of Trump, to the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., to the shooting of state lawmakers in Minnesota. And now Kirk’s murder. There are many guilty parties in the rise of political violence. But to our minds, among the biggest culprits are the universities. In the same way that madrassas radicalize jihadis, America’s campuses are among the places in the U.S. most hostile to disagreement and debate. Where they preach “inclusion,” they actually practice exclusion—shouting down speakers they disagree with, for instance. Where they promote “diversity,” they actually enforce a uniformity of thought, denying tenure to dissenters.

Charlie Kirk was murdered while practicing the very act that gave birth to this nation—and the only thing that will ensure its survival.
