Rassismus tötet.

Am 4. November 2011 enttarnte sich der sog. NSU. Wir gedenken der Opfer. Und wir erinnern zugleich an das Versagen des Staates bei der Ahndung der Täter*innen und ihrer Netzwerke.

New paper out with @dasalgon.bsky.social: “Far-Right Agenda Setting: How the Far Right influences the Political Mainstream” doi.org/10.1017/S1475676525100066 #openaccess in @ejprjournal.bsky.social🧵

Now out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. In our new article, @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that where local rent prices increase more, residents with lower incomes become more likely to support the radical right AfD.

Bei einem 36jährigen Neonazi in Kärnten hat die Polizei neben NS-Material und Drogen (Heroin, Kokain, Cannabis) eine geladene Schrotflinte, ein Kleinkalibergewehr, Munition und drei "machetenähnliche Messer" gefunden.
Ich vermute, bei einer IS-Fahne wäre die Aufregung deutlich größer.

Please share this thread. It is important that political scientists, in Europe and across the world, understand why EPSS exists and why we are encouraging people to attend our inaugural conference, in Belfast next June.

Es wurden heute übrigens viele Waffen bei einem rechtsextremen Multimillionär und Kreistagsfraktionsmitglied der AfD in MV gefunden. Das sollte nicht untergehen.

In 2022, Germany faced a cost-of-living crisis.
Many expected a “Hot Autumn” of mass protest—but it never happened. Why?

Sachen gibt's: Wenn man die Skalierung der Achse ändert, ist auf einmal der Balken beim Linksextremismus länger.

Why do some protests go viral, why others don’t – and what does that say about democracy & mobilisation? ✊

In this #MyEUIResearch video, @meretstephan.bsky.social @eui-sps.bsky.social‬ investigates how migration-related protests can shape public opinion, party politics & policy.
