More evidence of the downstream effects of far-right electoral victories: increased discrimination by street-level bureaucrats in access to healthcare, undermining "impartiality and equal access to essential services". doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Jaag ze nou niet weg Jesse. Die Amerikaanse cryptohandelaar en de dochters van Heineken en Wessels creëren echt heel veel banen. Heus, echt, vraag maar aan Jort en Stefan Tax.

Forever in awe of young people who stood up for democracy, relentlessly protesting and mobilising for years against a corrupt, authoritarian regime. #Serbia

Volgens onderzoek van RTL is één op de vijf masterscripties tegenwoordig merendeels het product van AI. Minister Letschert laat weten dat universiteiten hun verantwoordelijkheid moeten nemen. Maar hoe zit het met de verantwoordelijkheid van de politiek? www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

This is a public service announcement for junior non-U.S. (based) political scientists. You will see several jobs advertised at U.S. universities that are in (relatively) new Centers for “Civil Leadership” or “Western Thought” etc. These are GOP-created Centers with a clear political motivation!

Abortus is geen misdaad, het is gewone medische zorg. Daarom komt @lisavliegenthart.bsky.social vandaag met een wetsvoorstel om abortus eindelijk uit het strafrecht halen. Deze wet komt voort uit een lange strijd voor het recht op veilige en toegankelijke abortuszorg.

Het zijn juist de rechts-populisten die homohaat aanjagen, zegt deze hoogleraar

De VVD zit zo vast in het radikaalrechtse frame dat ze niet meer tot het liberaal-democratische kamp gerekend kan worden.

Two state elections in Germany today, guess which one will be written up as representative of Germany/Europe and which one will be portrayed as unique to that specific state?

There are no heroes coming to save our democracy. If we are to mount a defense, it must begin with students learning the necessary skills in the classroom.

Albert Verlinde meent dat de AvroTros mee moet doen met het Songfestival, omdat het juist een evenement is dat mensen samenbrengt. Maar brengt niet elk evenement mensen samen? Het zomerkamp van de Ku Klux Klan brengt ook mensen samen en toch heb ik besloten daar komend jaar niet aan deel te nemen.

Nou ja in principe hebben we het totale voetbal wereldwijd een maand stilgelegd vanwege een WK in een zandbak vol met airco behangen stadions die gebouwd werden door uitgebuite en regelmatig verongelukkende arbeiders. Dat dat WK niet daarheen ging vanwege de ambiance was ook redelijk openlijk.
