To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Screenshot of the article “Open science in democracy research: the research infrastructure ‘Monitoring Electoral Democracy’ (MEDem)” published in European Political Science. The header shows the journal name, DOI link, and the label “DEBATE.” Below, the title is followed by the author list: Hajo Boomgaarden, Alexia Katsanidou, Sylvia Kritzinger, Georg Lutz, Johanna Willmann, and Jakob-Moritz Eberl. The abstract explains the aims of MEDem as a European research infrastructure to make democracy research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). Keywords listed include open science, FAIR data, ESFRI roadmap, research infrastructure, democracy research, data harmonization, data linking, and data set search. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1057/s41304-025-00534-8

They say: once there’s a paper 📝, it’s real…

The paper outlines how MEDem will strengthen #OpenScience by making data #FAIR in #DemocracyResearch – and how scholars across Europe are joining forces to build a truly open #ResearchInfrastructure ⚙️

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

Gisteren greep BBB-lijsttrekker Van der Plas het debat over het extreemrechtse geweld aan om opnieuw te pleiten voor een noodwet. Het leidde tot grote verontwaardiging, maar past binnen de strategie van de partij: de volledige omarming van radicaal-rechts gedachtegoed. Wat zit daar achter?

Het klakkeloos overnemen van dubieuze termen als ‘remigratie’ is allesbehalve onschuldig Het veelvuldig gebruik van een term als ‘remigratie’, eufemisme voor ‘deportatie’, past in de tactiek van extreem-rechts om denkbeelden salonfähig te maken.

📣 Nieuwe column voor @groene.nl. Het klakkeloos overnemen van termen als ‘remigratie’ past in het draaiboek van uiterst rechts. Het versterkt uiteindelijk het zelfvertrouwen van de beweging – wat zich vertaalt in electorale winst en meer zichtbaarheid op straat. www.groene.nl/artikel/remi...

Many congratulations, Theresa!! And great news for the University of Hamburg!

Uiteraard komt de beste analyse over her geweld van zaterdag van collega @leoniedejonge.bsky.social

Kamermeerderheid vindt Antifa terroristische organisatie Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer wil dat Nederland, in navolging van de Verenigde Staten, de extreemlinkse beweging Antifa aanmerkt als terroristische organisatie. Een motie daartoe van Lidewij de V...

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.
