Timely and interesting blog post 'Translation: How Securitization of Islam travels from Right-wing to Left-wing Political Parties' by Ugo Gaudino @ugaudino.bsky.social now on the @secdialogue.bsky.social blog : www.prio.org/comments/1810

Here you can find my article on left-wing populism, Mélenchon and the de-securitisation of Muslims in France

It's Friday, so I thought I could do a little thread on the findings of our article in @polstudies.bsky.social. When we started writing this article (summer 2022!), the question on everyone's mind was whether a possible win for Meloni would present a danger for democracy in Italy.

I am over the moon that my article on the "translation" of securitization of Islam from the Right to the Left is finally out in
@secdialogue.bsky.social!

The Path to American Authoritarianism What comes after democratic breakdown.

This is the one article to read on contemporary (and future) U.S. politics. Laid out analytically and clearly. There is a hint of optimism (which I do not share but do appreciate).

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

The vocabulary used to describe Le Pens ideas and his impact in media across the globe is testament to the normalization of the far right

Happy to have contributed to this report with a chapter on Italy, where Islamophobia has gained momentum especially on the Right, partly on the Left, and among media and public opinion

As a very rapidly ageing country, Italy gives citizenship to Javier Milei, whose grandad was Italian, but not to a 16 year old who was born in Italy from foreign parents, has gone to school there, speaks the local dialect, & cannot imagine their future anywhere else...

Suicidal.

Pope Francis and advocates add to pleas for Biden to clear federal death row

'Something remarkable is happening with Gen-Z' - is Reform UK winning the 'bro vote'? Reform was quick to engage with a younger audience on TikTok - racking up more than 300,000 followers - more than any other major political party. But is it enough to capture the 'bro vote'?

Part of Gen-Z men is attracted to Farage and his anti-feminist, anti-woke message. Like other far-right parties (RN,AfD), Reform understands the potential of TikTok, but young white working-class voters are also the least likely to vote in elections.

Two days ago, for the first time since 2020, rebel forces in northwest Syria launched a significant offensive against Assad regime forces & allies, Operation Deterring the Aggression. I’m doing my best to follow developments & post updates (maps, news, etc.) here: www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2...

Italian police and social workers leave Albania after staffing empty migrant centres Centres had been open for over a month but received just 24 asylum seekers, whose detention was deemed unlawful

Meloni starts repatriating staff and police from Albania, as offshore centre for asylum seekers stands empty.

A huge hit to her credibility and one of her most apparent mistakes so far (she hasn't made many)

Hey folks! So in light of the new followers (love you all <3) and the fact many of you likely followed me because I study extremism and the far-right, let's do a book thread! These are some of the best books for building an understanding of the far-right. Also most are available as audiobooks!

This is awful. Since coming to Liverpool in 2021, Al Rahma mosque has been the hub for which me and many other newcomers have settled and created faith, chosen family , and friend connections. Stay safe everyone x

The Telegraph’s culture correspondent’s timeline is revealing. Absolutely obsessed with imagined threats to Whiteness. A key player in the normalisation of racist extremism?

YouTube video by SUFIBALL Christian Pulisic hit the Donald Trump dance after scoring for USMNT vs Jamaica

After scoring for USMNT, captain Christian Pulisic did the "Trump Dance". He is one of many male athletes (football, soccer, ufc) who has done the dance in the past weeks

A perfect example of the normalization of the far right.
