In Amsterdam staat Museumplein vol voor derde Rode Lijn-protest De demonstranten eisen actie van de regering tegen Israël. Amsterdam is volgestroomd met mensen in rode kleding en met rode paraplu's.

Dit is óók een aanklacht tegen Dick Schoof en zijn incompetente, kwaadaardige kliek. Niet in onze naam.
Stop de genocide.
Stop de Nederlandse medeplichtigheid.
Free Palestine.

Alles is politiek aan de rellen in Den Haag

Alles is politiek aan de rellen in Den Haag

kay so, rioting fascists attacking political party buildings and trying to storm the binnenhof complex isn't political? My bad, how naive of me to jump to such a conclusion

We are a country with a violence problem and a political problem, and sometimes those overlap, and we don't always know whether they're overlapping." - Dr. Lilly Mason

Anti-immigratie-demonstratie Den Haag escaleert, confrontatie met politie De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

Who would have guessed!

Did some of the politicians that voted on the "anti-fascists are terrorists" motion ended up speaking at the fascist riot in the Hague today in the end?

Dutch parliament wants to follow U.S. example and label Antifa a terrorist organization A majority in the lower house of the Dutch parliament wants the Netherlands to follow the United States’ lead and designate the far-left Antifa movement as a terrorist organization. A motion to that e...

i mean there’s a guy from a Dutch far-right group sitting in custody right now on terror and weapons offences and another foiled neo-Nazi attack on Eurovision 2020 where the guy planned on using chemicals like cyanide and ricin but ok tweede kamer

'Nederlandse universiteiten schuwen debat met andersdenkenden' Is er op Nederlandse universiteiten nog wel ruimte voor een open debat? "Radicale vrijheid van meningsuiting bestaat in Nederland niet."

Sinds wanneer doet NOS mee aan de verkiezingscampagne van de FvD? Er worden hier amper feiten genoemd, Baudet aangehaald als martelaar van de vrijheid van meningsuiting en als een Nederlandse Kirk nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ar...

Right? I also haven't watched the piece but just saw this article and am really annoyed and also concerned....

'Nederlandse universiteiten schuwen debat met andersdenkenden' Is er op Nederlandse universiteiten nog wel ruimte voor een open debat? "Radicale vrijheid van meningsuiting bestaat in Nederland niet."

Asking Baudet about this really really REALLY annoys me. Diversity of views? I'm sorry but when you set up a hotline to intimidate scholars by encouraging students to video them and report them for being left-wing, you should not be being treated as an 'expert' to quote on this matter.

Below more information on the research note on how citizens view their political opponents, I have had a pleasure to work on with brilliant colleagues @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social and @jnareal.bsky.social.

✨ New Academic Year, New Speaker Series! ✨

We hope you all had a wonderful summer break. We’re thrilled to announce the #HotPoliticsLab Speaker Series lineup for the first semester of the 25/26 academic year.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another year of thought-provoking discussions!

One time driving through DE with friends and wondering where to take a break, I checked it and we ended up visiting this church in a small village which had mummified bodies wearing a lot of gold jewellery on display around the seating area. Certainly bizarre but also interesting to see

In Cambridge they all seem to be quite nerdy suggestions haha! It's a great site though for finding unusual things to see and do around the place though. If you're driving somewhere you can also open a map based on your location to see what's around which is cool!

Do you know this website? Maybe something here! www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do...

In Thessaloniki for #ecprgc25 which starts (bright and early) tomorrow morning! Looking forward to a week of interesting panels, talks and catching up with colleagues from all over.

(...and making friends with cats, of course!)

🥳🥳🥳

We were just talking about this recently! Sorry pal! Will we meet at ECPR next week?

Hahaha oh no I tagged the wrong Chiara 😅 That's super embarassing, I didn't want to be one of those people, haha!

Congrats @chiaravalli.bsky.social !!!

Ahhh!!! Congrats!!! And @cvargiu.bsky.social and Loes! Awesome!

My bad, it's also already up on the Vrankrijk website :)

vrankrijk.org/events/horro...

So come! Horror Vacui = one of my absolute favourite bands, I guarantee you it will be a great evening, and all monies raised are going straight to folks in Gaza who provide their communities with water & food.

Most of the people following me here probably aren't Amsterdam folks, but nonetheless: Coming up on the 12th of August at the Vrankrijk in Amsterdam we've got an amazing benefit show (funds going straight to a mutual aid initiative in Gaza). More info: radar.squat.net/en/event/ams...

Completely forgot to promote the panel I was part of this morning at #ISPP2025, but am looking forward to the coming four days, catching up with people and of course, all things poli psy 🤓

‼️ There are a few more days left to apply for the PhD positions in my group at KU Leuven. Make sure to send in applications by July 4! 👇
