I want primary challenges for every Democrat who fails at this basic democratic task.

Last week I participated (online) in a @kreiskyforum.bsky.social panel on the U.S. Midterm elections with @erinjenne.bsky.social & @rheinisch.bsky.social in Vienna ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น. It was the best conversation on U.S. politics I have had in Europe. Erin and Reinhard were excellent! You can watch it here.

They need to start calling them people and not migrants, because too many people think migrants arenโ€™t human.

I love how political the MLS fan scene is. Much better than most European countries. Respect to @lamurgadeaustin.bsky.social for protesting the ejection of a fan for wearing an anti-ICE shirt last week! ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™m not sure there are many lessons here, but respect to all these people for fighting the good fight.

Canโ€™t wait to return myself. Up the Addicks!

Lamestream media already bored with a defeat for illiberalism.

I am not a specialist on these Centers. Just reading the news. I am sure there are people actually studying them.

@casmudde.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:17 PM

In my experience, most โ€œleftiesโ€ bow to the temptations of money in a fairly similar way as โ€œnon-leftiesโ€ โ€” they just use a lot of self-serving arguments to justify their hypocrisy.

@casmudde.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:12 PM

Make sure to read up on the Center before applying. Try to get some information from political science colleagues that work at that university or in that state.

@casmudde.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:11 PM

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 โ€œCivil Leadershipโ€ or โ€œWestern Thoughtโ€ etc. These are GOP-created Centers with a clear political motivation!

You donโ€™t need to be smart to make much money. Particularly in the U.S., if you are from the right family or at the right place at the right time, you just have to be not incredibly stupid.

Ik zag weer geen kampioensploeg

The same NYT that has been vilifying Mamdani for years now?
