I am looking forward to presenting my paper on Trumps role in Greenlandic standing in Danish media this Friday at the ECPR in Krakow…

With some delay, my op-Ed on the dramatic Saxony-Anhalt election. It is high time we focus our political struggle on strengthening democracy, rather than merely weakening the far right. To do this, we must show realism, resilience and restraint.

The AfD’s win in Germany is a dark day for Europe. Time is running out to stop the far right | Cas Mudde
This party is among the most extreme in Europe. To protect our democracies, liberal parties must urgently change their tactics, says Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today

My second APSA was rewarding, the feedback was excellent again! A special thank you to my discussant @jongreen.bsky.social. I am looking forward to ECPR 2026 tomorrow in Krakow, where I will present on two panels: Epistemic Governance in Higher Education, and U.S. Foreign Policy in Turmoil.

There is a very unfortunate consequence of temporal semantic drift in the case of shirts with the phrase “Je Suis Charlie” in Black text on a white T shirt. There is no way anyone in the West under the age of 24 will not think of Charlie Kirk

Britain is about to have its seventh Prime Minister in just over a decade - but is Brexit to blame? Read my thoughts in the LSE British Politics blog @lseblogs.bsky.social ✏️ blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Is Brexit to blame for the churn of Prime Ministers? | LSE British Politics
After Keir Starmer announced he will be resigning, the UK is about to have its seventh PM since the Brexit referendum, ten years ago. That's not a coincidence.

Most constitutions are quite inflexible on democracy; ours is more of a strongly worded vibe check. It's been here for 177 years because a) it's hard and we can't be bothered, b) the Crown hasn't been acting up lately

Happy 🇩🇰 Constitution Day, a short🧵 on what makes the Danish constitutional monarchy weird. De jure, Denmark is not really democratic. The King is "the highest authority over all the affairs of the realm" (§12), the co-holder of legislative power (§3), and law passes without his assent (§22).

🇩🇰Election results: The parties in Mette Frederiksen’s centrist coalition government lost seats in the Danish elections - yet, Denmark could still end up with a centrist coalition as no clear governing coalition emerges on the left or the right Coalition talks will now commence

NSF Update through March 13, 2026 1/2
A line graph of the number of NSF awards in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal years 2021-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is well below the other curves and increasing only very slowly.

I'd wager these disciplinary disparities here post-DOGE austerity are a bit more lopsided than anyone would have expected

So, I have been working on a paper regarding Trump's effect on Danish-Greenlandic relations using the media landscape. I've written up a little text about what he said two days ago. Happy holidays folks

As far as I can understand, the funding behind "Patriot Polling" is not disclosed anywhere. They didn't provide any way of certifying that the phone numbers they had belonged to Greenlanders, only that they received 416 responses from +299 phone numbers.

The University of California is actively cooperating with the government witch hunt against some 850 faculty members. cucfa.org/2025/04/cucf...
At the University of California, the Office of the President (UCOP) disclosed last week the personal and demographic information of over 850 UC faculty members after being subpoenaed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as part of its investigation of antisemitism at UC campuses. The faculty who received these notices from UCOP were signatories of two letters addressed to university leadership. The first was an open letter to the UC Berkeley community expressing concern about “recent events in Israel and Gaza.” The second was a separate, multi-campus petition to the Regents accusing UC administrators of fomenting antisemitic hostilities toward Jewish faculty and students by not cracking down on pro-Palestinian protests.

Dear anyone on Bsky, has anyone done any research into "Patriot Polling"? I find it odd that their first-ever survey outside of the US was in Greenland and that this survey reaches conclusions opposite to the Danish and Greenlandic polls and the March election results.

The Vibes Are Off: Did Elon Musk Push Academics Off Twitter?
The Vibes Are Off: Did Elon Musk Push Academics Off Twitter? By James Bisbee, Vanderbilt University and Kevin Munger, European University Institute Twitter has been a prominent forum for academics communicating online, both among themselves and with policy makers and the broader public. Elon Musk’s takeover of the company brought sweeping changes to many aspects of the platform, including public access to its data; Twitter’s approach to censorship and mis/disinformation; and tweaks to the affordances of the platform.
