Glad to make this my 1st article in BlueSky🚨Jan 6th Insurrection is a watershed of democratic backsliding not simply in US but also worldwide. Yet, we know little how this autocratization event affects other countries. In this paper, I find it reduces citizens’ expressed support for far-right (FR)

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte
Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Research article "When Does Fame Not Matter? Examining Gender Differences in Politicians’ Social Media Experiences" by Maarja Lühiste, Stiene Praet, Sebastian Adrian Popa, Yannis Theocharis, Pablo Barberá, Zoltán Fazekas and Joshua A. Tucker, Abstract begins: Past research alerts to the increasingly unpleasant climate surrounding public debate on social media. Female politicians, in particular, are reporting serious attacks targeted at them. Yet, research offers inconclusive insights regarding the gender gap in online incivility. This paper aims to address this gap by comparing politicians with varying levels of prominence and public status in different institutional contexts. Using a machine learning approach for analyzing over 23 million tweets addressed to politicians in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we find little consistent evidence of a gender gap in the proportion of incivility.
