Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized?

In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇

Qué interesante siempre todo el trabajo de More in Common 👇
👨‍⚖️ A raíz del juicio al fiscal general y de las reacciones que ha generado, hemos revisado cómo percibe la ciudadanía el papel de la justicia en España. Para ello analizamos datos del CIS (1987–2025) y de una encuesta propia sobre polarización
España ya no comparte una visión común de la justicia
La reciente decisión del Tribunal Supremo sobre el fiscal general del Estado ha confirmado algo que ya venía asomando en el debate público: la justicia ya no significa lo mismo para todos.

@luismmiller.bsky.social explicaba esta semana en El Mundo que la justicia es una de las instituciones mejor valoradas en España, muy por encima de la política. ¿Esa confianza es realmente transversal?

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Casi la mitad de los españoles (45 %) conoce a alguien con un discurso antivacunas, y un 59 % ha estado expuesto en el último año a mensajes antivacunas. ¿Significa eso que el escepticismo está muy extendido? ¿O que hay espacio político para crecer apoyándose en esos discursos? 🧵👇

Mamdami’s program fits the tradition of municipal socialism first seen in London in 1889, later in Milwaukee’s so-called “sewer socialism,” and reaching its peak in Vienna from 1919 to 1934.

Thread: part of an ongoing project to erase people of color from military history:
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

¿Ha aumentado la preocupación por el cambio climático tras la sequía, la DANA o los incendios?

Just reposting this: Wilders (PVV) may have lost seats, but combined the Dutch far right is still as big as ever. Only down by ~1 percentage point since last elections.
Dutch election coverage focuses on Wilders' (PVV) loss of parliamentary seats. Fair enough. But if we zoom out, the combined far-right vote share is down just 1.2 percentage points since last time. I plotted some data below:

Great write-up of an important study by @tevoelker.bsky.social and @dasalgon.bsky.social. Far-right actors have been very successful in setting the political agenda. Many in politics and media still ignore this. They argue "immigration is important to people, hence we need to talk about immigration"

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

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

Trains are being nationalised in the UK. Didn't know that would also apply to airport trains. This whole process flying a bit under the radar it seems? This should be a major policy win for the left, but the government is mostly busy talking about something else.
