"Nowhere is this selective application of values more glaring than in the EU’s response to Gaza."

80 years after Liberation Day, far-right parties are the strongest parties in the polls in the UK, France, and Germany. For every politician the most pressing question should be how to save liberal democracy. Yet, small minded partisan tactics prevail. The far right gets normalized and empowered.

While the radical right populist governing parties of Hungary and Poland abused culture as a vehicle for transmitting their nationalist narratives, their technocratic Czech and Slovak counterparts took a more pragmatic approach to cultural policy. doi.org/10.1080/1028...

Just like centrist parties in Western Europe, the Democratic Party is more concerned about the voters of the far right than with its own voters.

A commonly held notion is that Germany's far-right party AfD is especially successful in the country's more rural areas. However, a look at the party's election results in over 10,000 municipalities suggests that the link between rurality and AfD support is rather diffuse. A simple thread. 🧵👇

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

This would be an unlawful seizure of territory in violation of the United Nations Charter, and the forcible transfer of the population of Gaza would constitute crimes against humanity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Friedrich Merz, the leader of the German CDU, just claimed in parliament that gang rapes are committed on a daily basis by asylum seekers in Germany. It is pure far right propaganda. The mainstreaming of the far right is happening on steroids in Germany right now.

A crazy story that should be a warning to many colleagues (and others) who want to travel to the U.S. (or Germany). There is a (secret) blacklist -- most likely related to critique of Israel (and its war crimes in Gaza).

1/4🧵 Electoral maps like these are quite common in the Czech context – both outer and inner peripheries were notably visible in the latest presidential elections. But what factors led to the populist candidate Andrej Babiš's defeat, and what role does geography play?

"It’s far more straightforward to blame an abstract “wokeness” than to reckon with the fact that Harris ran a broadly right-of-centre campaign and still lost. It also conjures up a convenient voter, one who is more offended by language than by the promise of mass deportations."
