🇨🇱 Hoy se celebra la primera vuelta de la elección presidencial en Chile. Una elección marcada por el aumento de apoyo a la ultraderecha y por el voto obligatorio, la gran incógnita de hoy. Sobre ello escribí esta semana en @elsaltodiario.com www.elsaltodiario.com/chile/elecci...

🚨🚨 New paper alert: Culture vs. Institutions @ainagallego.bsky.social‬, Ana Tur-Prats and I have a new paper out in the JOP that examines the impact of historical family types on modern-day female political representation.

This is a really important paper in the debate about optimal Social Democratic party strategies and the type of policy positions that are needed to deliver a "progressive majority". A must read!

"La historia sin fin: la lujuria del poder y de la muerte. Ha contribuido a escribirla el voto de ciudadanos probos, enrolados en los castos brazos de sus democracias", escribe Leila Guerriero. Lee la columna completa social.elpais.com/zj7zw5

I really liked this empirically-based twist in the narrative, specially as a political opportunity for left-wing parties.

La impunidad es tal, que no se arruga ni para reconocer las estrategias más perversas tras el horror que han vivido miles de Palestinos/as en el último año

“Yo me dediqué a cambiar el mundo y no cambié un carajo [dice él, sin aún dimensionar su legado] pero estuve entretenido y le di un sentido a mi vida. Moriré feliz. Gasté soñando, peleando, luchando. Me cagaron a palos y todo lo demás. No importa, no tengo cuentas para cobrar”.

📢 ¿Escuchan los políticos menos las demandas de las mujeres que las de las hombres? 🏛️ Por desgracia, sí. Cuanto mayores sean las discrepancias entre mujeres y hombres, menor atención prestan los políticos a las mujeres. @bcaihuelas.bsky.social @divulgauc3m.bsky.social youtu.be/qEyGuMNfLK4?...

When checks and balances are an inconvenience they are called "the leftist deep state"

Blown away by this erudite book by @valentimvicente.bsky.social 🤯 An exceptional combination of theoretical sophistication and empirical breadth and depth. His theory of normalization not just helps explain recent rise of far right but also warns for overestimating strength of democracy.

We have had so much fun this past week in Konstanz! 💻 Thanks to our fantastic teacher for all her work and patience and our amazing colleagues for creating such a friendly learning environment 💫 #Komex2025

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Very glad to have participated in #KOMEX2025. Great atmosphere, great supervisors and above all great company. Thank to all of you for this great experience! @erickpadilla.bsky.social @florencia-olivares.bsky.social @ginaaniano.bsky.social @komex.bsky.social

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
