The murder of Tamima Nibras Juhar on Aug 24 is part of a long series of severe far-right & racist attacks in Norway in recent years, writes the RTV team at C-REX in a new blog post. www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/englis...

- Høyreekstrem vold er et vedvarende og sammensatt samfunnsproblem i Norge, skriver C-REX-forskerne @arjupskas.bsky.social, @jacravn.bsky.social, Madeleine Thorstensen og Charlotte Tandberg i @aftenposten.no i lys av drapet på Tamima Nibras Juhar for tre uker siden www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

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.

Highly welcome original theorizing about extremism!

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

After the AfD's surge on Sunday, far right parties are the most voted-for of any grouping in Europe, for the first time in history: www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

One day earlier, Zelensky’s Oval Office ambush was predicted by State Duma member Oleg Morozov on 60 Minutes, a state TV show. Morozov said that the meeting would be a lesson in humiliation. @juliadavisnews.bsky.social in The @dailybeast.bsky.social
