Keine Entwarnung: Die durchschnittliche Teilnehmendenzahl sank zwar, insgesamt fanden jedoch 2025 mehr rechtsextreme Anti-CSD-Aufmärsche statt als im Vorjahr. Die Mobilisierung bleibt weiterhin dynamisch und bedrohlich, wie unser neues Research Paper zeigt: cemas.io/publikatione...

Nachdem im Jahr 2024 beobachtet werden konnte, wie sich eine neue Generation Neonazis formierte und vermehrt gegen CSD-Veranstaltungen mobilisierte, haben im Jahr 2025 rechtsextreme (Jugend-)Gruppen e...

Feuerwehr benutzt in Satzung männliche & weibliche Bezeichnungen.

CDU: Verlangt via Antrag Festlegung auf ein Geschlecht + Ergänzung "umfasst alle geschlechtliche Formen"

Feuerwehr wählt rein weibliche Bezeichnung.

CDU: "Widerspricht Wertschätzung gegenüber allen Feuerwehrangehörigen."

🤡🤡🤡
Nur weibliche Formen: Gender-Zoff wegen Feuerwehr-Satzung in Friedrichsdorf
Streit um geschlechtergerechte Sprache: In Friedrichsdorf sorgt eine Feuerwehr-Satzung, die nur noch weibliche Amtsbezeichnungen kennt, für reichlich Zündstoff zwischen Bürgermeister und CDU-Fraktion.

My latest research on LLM grooming, co-authored with @ninajankowicz.com and @garymarcus.bsky.social, found that OpenAI's so-called "reasoning" o3 model cited Pravda network content 26.8% of the time in response to specific prompts.

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

In ihren Jubelmeldungen will die AfD aktuell den Eindruck erzeugen, der Verfassungsschutz habe seine Bewertung der AfD inhaltlich revidiert. Das ist falsch. Er setzt die Hochstufung vorläufig aus. Tat er schon nach der Klage zum Verdachtsfall, gewann dann vor 2 Gerichten gegen die AfD

I wanted to highlight key findings from our study and the replication, and how they extend to 2024.

Now it provides a systematic review of more than 600 scientific studies on the relationship between digitalization and democracy.

So what does science have to say? We actually know quite a bit: 1/5

Support for democracy in the US public has fallen so much that we're now closer to Turkey's levels than Germany's. Let that, ahem, sink in.

Interesting findings! In line with @danwphilosophy.bsky.social's excellent work on the marketplace of rationalizations - conspiracy theories might work to rationalize antidemocratic attitudes that are already there, and that's why people adopt them.

Over the 2020 US and NZ elections, antidemocratic attitudes preceded conspiracy beliefs, rather than conspiracy beliefs fostering antidemocratic attitudes

by @lindaskitka.bsky.social & many others in @ispp-pops.bsky.social #socpsych #polisky #polpsych

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Screenshot of paper title which reads "Conspiracy beliefs and democratic backsliding: Longitudinal effects of election conspiracy beliefs on criticism of democracy and support for authoritarianism during political contests". Paper abstract that reads, "There are widespread concerns that conspiracy theories undermine democracies. But do conspiracy beliefs increase criticism of democracy and/or support for authoritarianism? Or are antidemocratic people more likely to endorse conspiracy beliefs? To answer these important questions, we collected longitudinal data during two concurrent democratic elections—the 2020 US Presidential Election (N = 609) and the 2020 General Election in New Zealand (N = 603). Random intercept cross-lagged panel models tested whether conspiracy beliefs affect criticism of democracy in general, as well as support for authoritarianism, and both direct and representative democracy, specifically. There was little evidence that conspiracy beliefs temporally preceded changes in attitudes toward democracy or support for any specific form of government. Instead, people who supported authoritarianism more subsequently endorsed stronger conspiracy beliefs. The results suggested that, in the context of electoral contests (e.g., elections), antidemocratic people are more likely to endorse conspiracy beliefs rather than conspiracy beliefs fostering antidemocratic views."
