As local elections approach, we talk to polling expert and political scientist Tom Louwerse about the kaleidoscopic range of candidate and parties on offer and how voters can make sense of it all. Plus the fish doorbell is back.
Who produces hate speech? And how does that matter for content moderation?
We show that across different countries and platforms, a relatively small share of users are responsible for a very large share of hate - overall, 5% write 83-100% of hateful content.

De academische vrijheid is niet voor iedereen gelijk, betoogt universitair docent migratiegeschiedenis Nadia Bouras in de Annie Romein-Verschoorlezing. ‘Mensen die op mij lijken, doen er blijkbaar niet toe.’
Je kan op basis van de data van het DNPP veel concluderen, maar niet het *aantal* Nederlanders dat lid is van een politieke partij.
Mensen kunnen immers dubbellid zijn. Dat was in het verleden een marginaal fenomeen maar nu met GL-PvdA zeker niet.

Uit onderzoek van blijkt dat de ledenaantallen van alle politieke partijen in 2025 zijn gegroeid. Goed nieuws waarbij kanttekening te plaatsen zijn volgens Carla Hoetink. Desalniettemin zijn voor het eerst 40 jaar weer ruim 440.000 mensen lid van politieke partijen: www.parlement.com/column/20260...
📣 Jaarlijks vraagt het DNPP alle politieke partijen die in het parlement vertegenwoordigd naar de stand van hun ledenaantal. De cijfers van 2025 zijn vandaag gepubliceerd: het ledental van landelijke partijen is in 2025 met ruim 57.000 toegenomen tot 448.100 – een groei
van 14,6%. #PartyMembership 🇳🇱

Institute member @sldelange.bsky.social, with @beatricedegraaf.bsky.social and @bartschuurman.bsky.social, argues in de Volkskrant that Europe is underestimating the two-front pressure on its liberal democracies — from Moscow and Washington, backed by the far right in Europe.
Still controlling for gender without thinking about why? You can cite me💚👩🔬💚
I show that the gender gap in progressive climate and environmental views is a persistent empirical regularity that cannot be explained by differences in socioeconomic background, political ideology, or risk aversion.
