4/ A major highlight: Integrating Southern European history. Studies of Spain, Italy, and Portugal show these nations weren't "lagging behind" the North; they were dynamic spaces where participation was constantly re-negotiated.

3/ The research moves beyond just "high politics" (parliaments/elites) to include informal practices like: 🔹 Petitions & public meetings 🔹 The satirical press 🔹 Militias & clubs 🔹 Social movements

2/ We often view the history of democracy as a steady march toward progress. This issue challenges that linear narrative, showing that the definition of "the people" and how they should participate has always been a source of controversy.

Wie konnte es soweit kommen, dass die AfD mit ihren rassistischen, autoritären Positionen solchen Zuspruch bekommt? Alle befragen sich, was die eigenen Fehler waren. Nur in den Redaktionen der Medien gibt es anscheinend null Zweifel, null Selbstkritik. Alles weiter so. Das geht nicht.

Ik vind water een interessant en uitdagend onderwerp, juist ook omdat het alledaags is en er vaak dus pas over geschreven wordt als er iets mis is. Zo heb ik bijvoorbeeld ook weer best wat informatie uit Amsterdamse getuigenverklaringen gehaald, als mensen bijv ruziën over het delen van regenbakken.
dat de bovengenoemed Johan Mertin Rigter die middag tusschen een en twee uuren met veel onbescheyt aan hem 1 getuige heeft afgevordert de sleutel van de regenbak waar tegens hij 1 getuige hem zeyde dat hij zijn portie water reeds had geschept en de sleutel daar om weijgerde

A hidden gem from 1892—a stunning studio portrait taken in Leith by W. Fairbairn. The elegance of the Victorian era, is perfectly captured with this woman and her loyal Border Collie. Timeless charm frozen in time! #Edinburgh #History #Photography #Scotland #Vintage
A sepia-toned studio portrait from 1892, taken by W. Fairbairn, a photographer based at 10 Crown Street, Leith, Scotland. The image features a Victorian-era woman dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved black dress, standing beside a Border Collie perched on a wooden bench. Her expression is calm, with a subtle smile, and her right hand rests gently on the dog’s chest. The Border Collie has a characteristic white blaze on its face, a thick coat, and an attentive posture, gazing directly into the camera.

The photograph is elegantly framed with a dark maroon border, featuring gold lettering that highlights the photographer’s name and address. The soft-focus background, adorned with plants and decorative studio props, creates an air of sophistication. This image is a perfect snapshot of Victorian-era portraiture, reflecting the 19th-century love for formal photography and pet companionship.

The Victorian period saw a rise in pet photography, with dogs often representing loyalty, companionship, and status. This hidden gem is a beautifully preserved glimpse into Scotland’s past, showing both fashion trends and the deep bond between humans and their animals.

Lessons to be learned: 1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration 2. Centrists gain nothing 3. Far-right wins more power
German Opposition Gambles With Far-Right on Immigration, and Loses
Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democrats broke a political taboo by working with the hard-right Alternative for Germany to toughen rules on immigration. It did not pay off.In an effort to portray himself and his party as tough on immigration, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the poll-leading Christian Democrats, pushed a series of measures tightening borders and accelerating deportations through Parliament this week. He did so with help from the hard-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD — parts of which have been classified as extremist by German intelligence agencies.

On Friday, the gambit ended in a crushing legislative defeat for Mr. Merz, dissent in his own party and jubilant claims of new legitimacy from the AfD, a chain reaction that could rattle Mr. Merz’s comfortable seat at the top of the polls.

Mr. Merz’s willingness to rely on support from the AfD, broke a taboo in German politics that had endured since the end of World War II.

Hubris. Merz, literally invoking poker rhetoric, 'went all in' to get his migration bill through with the AfD. Mind you his party has a solid lead in the polls. Anything but Führungsstärke
