All those surprised by this should remember that, back in 2020, Politico already included Götz Kubitschek and Viktor Orbán among its "Dreamers" in its “Class of 2020“, an annual ranking of “the people shaping European politics and policy“.

Axel Springer is a German media giant — with Bild & Welt — which has become a major international player — with Politico & Business Insider. Its leadership is a prime example of radicalization of the mainstream right and of the enabling of the far right. Their newest award winner: Peter Thiel.

Great conversations and excellent turnout at the Diversity Panel at the EPSS General Conference today.

🚀 New publication! Super happy that my study on local responses to the #FarRight is now out in @prxjournal.bsky.social! 😍 Focusing on mayors in Germany, I show why their role perceptions are crucial for maintaining the #Brandmauer (cordon sanitaire). 🔓 doi.org/10.1080/2474... #OpenAccess

And to the journalists attending: make no mistake. You are not observing this performance from the outside. Your presence forms part of it. Your presence is living proof that far-right ideologies have become normalised and accepted.

The second Remigration Summit is taking place on Saturday. This isn’t a fringe event. It’s a global gathering of far-right ideologues, activists, influencers & politicians who are given a platform to call for mass deportations.

Wolfsburg runter = Fernsehgelder für S04 rauf. Gefällt mir. :)

In manchen Fällen kann man ja noch argumentieren, dass die Frage auf den Sharepics oft nicht dem entspricht, was eigentlich gefragt wird (ist tatsächlich häufig so), aber selbst das wird hier schwierig.

Ich frage mich mindestens siebenmal pro Woche, wie man in irgendeiner Weise denken konnte, dass das ein sinnvolles Umfrage-Item sei

1. Ja, die AfD ist ausweislich der gestrigen Analysen die stärkste Kraft bei jungen Menschen in RLP. 2. Nein, junge Menschen sind nicht die Gruppe, in der die AfD am stärksten insgesamt ist. 3. Nein, das ist kein Widerspruch.

@ansgarw.bsky.social u ich sind bekannt für unsere Serviceorientierung. Daher haben wir - um die Zeit bis 18 Uhr (deutscher Zeit!) zu überbrücken - diese nigelnagelneue Grafik für Euch gebaut. Zu sehen sind die Übereinstimmungen zwischen Parteien, die sich aus dem RLP-Wahl-O-Mat ergeben. Enjoy!

Mit @br24.de sprach ich über das Für und Wider des Kumulieren und Panaschierens, wie es bei Kommunalwahlen in Bayern aber auch andernorts Anwendung findet. Auch im Beitrag, @danschindler.bsky.social vom @iparl.bsky.social. www.br.de/nachrichten/...
