- die News von #MarcoBülow s Tod trifft mich sehr. Er war einer der aufrechtesten Politiker, die ich kannte. Uns verband die Vision einer Demokratie ohne gläserne Bürger, aber mit gläsernem Staat. 2015 war ich Gründungsmitglied seiner Initiative "Demokratie plus", die dafür kämpfte. R.I.P., Marco!

- John Oxley points out the clear yet often overlooked point that young men 18-24 are the second most liberal, left-leaning group in society (after young women) - being more so than young-ish thirtysomething women, and older women, as well as than men in older cohorts

- This is an important paper on social class barriers among faculty in academia. First-generation college grads earn less and are placed at lower prestige institutions despite being just as productive as other faculty. Faculty from upper class backgrounds are overplaced for their research records.
- How can stable personality traits explain less stable PRR voting? Daniel Komaromy, @delaneypeterson.bsky.social, @mrooduijn.bsky.social and I test whether negative contact with immigrants 'activates' these traits. Mostly, it doesn't. But: initial exposure and out-group definition may matter.

- 🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
- Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"
- The events of the last 24 hours show why it's important to build functional verification structures in public and counterpublic spaces to resist the authoritarian erosion of our democratic systems, as described in this thread.
