Germany: Legacy of Nazi Nuremberg Laws 90 years later In 1935, the Nazis under Adolf Hitler introduced laws to discriminate against Germany's Jewish population, culminating in the Holocaust. Experts warn that the deadly ideology behind the laws has not been overcome.

A helpful reminder: so-called 'remigration' is literally Nazi stuff

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Yep

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

The US military has ranked among the most respected institutions in the US for decades.

Mark my words, Trump will destroy that too.

Congrats! Great article!

I missed this, from a year ago, but the extreme-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) uses not just clear Nazi aesthetics in its propaganda but also a clear Nazi salute.

By the way, these are the German friends of Trump and the GOP.

🎉 New publication 🎉 Why do #youngpeople vote for the #AfD? This question has kept our research project busy for quite some time, so I'm beyond excited that our first article - co-authored with @timonscheuer.bsky.social - is now out in #GermanPolitics! 🤩 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

DHS posts "Remigrate"

Just the Department of Homeland Security, using a term hijacked and popularised by the extreme-right Identitarian Movement.

ABSTRACT This article examines how political messengers, and not the message, influence attitudes toward renewable energy infrastructure amid an increasingly polarized climate change debate. Focusing on wind power, a highly politicized issue, and solar energy, less contentious, we conducted an experimental survey in Germany. We assess how either a far-right or an environmentalist critic affect acceptance of renewables. Importantly, our analysis examines support for renewables in forest areas, focusing on a conflict between climate action and local environmental protection. Our findings reveal that the messenger impacts attitudes regarding wind energy. Criticism of wind turbine expansion by an environmentalist actor leads to greater rejection, while a similar critique by a far-right actor results in increased acceptance, i.e. a backlash effect. No such influence was found for solar energy. We explain these diverging findings by differences in politicization. Our findings have important consequences for understanding key dynamics of the public debate and political conflict over climate action.

New article!

Congrats to Michael, a world-class scholar!

New co-edited book on pedagogy in PoliSci is out!

Fascinating. Thanks, Dr. Cantir!

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments

So even someone like Jimmy Kimmel, who brings in millions, isn’t safe from far-right intimidation!

And every high-profile surrender not just feeds the thirst for more among the far-right mob but also facilitates the next surrender.

Building on this theme, despite strenuous efforts by Right-leaning commentators to claim that the AfD is the party of German youth, in North Rhine Westphalia among under-25s it sits well behind the CDU, SPD, Hard Left Linke and the Greens

Linke in particular are building momentum among young voters

Hate in the Homeland is a must-read. We have ALL the expertise at our fingertips so it’s on us to do the work. Book club anyone?? I'm happy to re-read it. Shit, I'll even read it TO you. WHATEVER IT TAKES!

How “hard right” became so ubiquitous in the media, I’ll never know. It’s not political science

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

8th edition w/ @michaelhansenphd.bsky.social is now available!

Congratulations!

Thanks for the shout out!

Ok! I must have missed it
