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

It's back-to-school time, and with it, time for the mental load to ramp up! For the 1st time my 3 kids are all in different schools... I’m already dreading all the school apps. 🫣 Our research w/ 3,000 US parents finds moms handle 71% of the load. What are you doing to share or reduce it??
Chart showing how mothers and fathers in a sample of 3,000 US parents report responsibility for 21 cognitive household tasks. Mothers  report being primarily responsible for cleaning, scheduling, childcare, social relationships, and food-related mental load. Fathers report greater primary responsibility for home maintenance, while financial tasks are more evenly divided. Examples of large gender gaps include keeping track of the family calendar, planning family events, scheduling appointments, researching children’s purchases, coordinating playdates, and tracking groceries.

Climate change scepticism has increased sharply in Germany, with a majority of the population affected. Rising distrust in the government and dissatisfaction with democracy are important drivers. New #openaccess article in Global Environmental Change with Katharina Gies doi.org/10.1016/j.gl...
In 2024, global heating exceeded 1.5 ◦C for the first time. Paradoxically, as the climate crisis becomes ever more
evident, climate change scepticism (CCS) has recently grown (rather than declined) in Germany, a high-emissions
country with enormous responsibility. Past research has not systematically studied which social groups and
characteristics are behind this shift. We address this gap by examining the social structure of rising CCS in
Germany, taking its multidimensionality into account. Drawing on GESIS Panel data that is representative of the
German adult population, we detect a strong and consistent increase across a comprehensive set of 14 CCS indicators
between 2022 and 2023. We find that this rise in scepticism is not driven by a small and ‘loud’ minority
but rather constitutes a mass phenomenon: on average across all items, CCS increased among 59% of respondents,
and for 93% of respondents at least one indicator rose. Regression models reveal a complex picture
with socio-structural effects depending on the dimension of CCS, but right-wing political orientation, government
distrust, and hierarchical worldviews are most consistently associated with increases in CCS. Overall, political
attitudes – which are flexible and have shifted substantially in recent years – relate far more strongly to rising
CCS than stable socio-structural factors like income or gender. These findings demonstrate an urgent need to
restore trust in political institutions and to foster inclusive, participatory climate dialogue to secure broad public
support for the transition towards a carbon-neutral society.Graph showing the development of climate change scepticism among the adult German population. A downtrend or rather stable levels from 2014 to 2022 are followed by a sharp rise in 2023. This uptrend can be observed in 14 out of 14 indicators.Dissatisfaction with democracy and distrust in the government, two central predictors of rising climate change scepticism themselves experienced sharp uptrends between 2022 and 2023. Political orientation, another important factor, only tilted slightly towards th right.
