Merry APSA Eve! @JordanCarrP and I have a gift for you—this new article in @The_JOP! Corporations increasingly take stands on contentious issues. We find such stands don’t change issue prefs, but do move preferences on corporate engagement in politics https://t.co/YXHno8c7JK

📝Why has a Bukele-style far-right party emerged in Spain—even though VOX already exists? In our new paper, @javierpmt2, @CanalejoAlvaro and I explain the unexpected rise of SALF ("Let the Party Be Over") in the 2024 EP elections: https://t.co/pplnXCMirn 1/3

SALF’s rise shows that far-right parties don’t “saturate” the space—new platforms can still break through by tapping into anti-system anger and digital subcultures. Huge thanks to coauthors! I couldn’t ask for better coauthors. 3/3

Drawing on 11 surveys (N ≈ 38,000), we show: • SALF voters see themselves as centrists • But hold views often more extreme than VOX • They're younger, more nativist, and deeply disillusioned with democracy • Social media subculture > TV: media habits are key 2/3

Una cosa que ha pasado muy desapercibida es que el Gobierno de España planea castigar con pena de cárcel la publicación de "material pornográfico" en redes sociales u otros medios de difusión "indiscriminada", justificándose en que podrían potencialmente ser vistos por menores.

Important study on the erosion of LGBTQ attitudes in Spain.
¿Está retrocediendo el apoyo social a las personas LGTBIQ+ en nuestro país? La revista @RevistaEmpiria nos publica un artículo donde analizamos la evolución de las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad entre 1980 y 2022. Y no, no hay buenas noticias: 🔗 https://t.co/JOw8UgF6jq 🧵

Médicos europeos cuentan cómo Israel les confisca la leche en polvo al entrar en Gaza. No se puede ser más depravado y monstruoso.

Bad take: "relacionar saunas gay con prostitución es homofobia". Good take: "sobre la prostitución pesa un grave estigma que contribuye a marginar a quienes la ejercen. En vez de reforzar ese estigma, neguemos la mayor: es irrelevante que haya o no prostitución en las saunas".
Relacionar saunas gays con prostitución es homófobia. Fueron tantas las meteduras de pata de ayer de Feijóo, que supongo que esto ha pasado desapercibido

"First pride was a riot" sí, un riot por el desalojo de un bar en el que se hacía cruising y que frecuentaban chaperos y putas. La fiesta, el sexo y les trabajadores sexuales son parte del Orgullo y la comunidad desde su origen. Que no borren nuestra historia.

January 6 worked partly because Republicans did not hold Trump accountable for his anti-democratic behavior. My research w/@kiarahernandezm and Lee shows this was because (white) Republicans are worried about the loss of white sociopolitical dominance.

The latest Chapo episode includes a really obvious argument that I think more people need to say out loud. January 6th worked. Any sort of assessment of the second Trump term, protest movements, and modern day norms should acknowledge that fact.
