Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

The disproportional consequences of a proportional bargain: candidate selection within Italian electoral coalitions in 2022

Scholars have long paid attention to disproportionality between parties’ votes and seats emerging from the electoral system. In @sespjournal.bsky.social, Gianni Del Panta, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social, and I show that disproportionality can also be a by-product of pre-electoral coalition formation.🧵
The more conditionality, the more compliance? 🔼🚀
Igor Guardiancich, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social, @eborghetto.bsky.social & Lucia Quaglia compare how EU countries complied with country-specific recommendations before and after the Recovery and Resilience Facility 👇
1. Do we trust the UK (this government, but also the next) to come to the defence of Europe should the situation require it?
If we do, there is no need to involve them in EU plans, since we already have NATO that commits the UK to protect Europe.
Globalization is changing its face... and we're asking why and how!

82 naufraghi salvati: 11 donne, 26 minori, alcuni sotto i 2 anni
Porto assegnato: Ravenna, 900 miglia nautiche, 4 giorni di navigazione.
Piantedosi augura buona Pasqua, e nel mentre prolunga consapevolmente la sofferenza dei naufraghi, ritardando cure e assistenza.
Pasqua di ipocrisia e cinismo
British MPs' statements after having been deported from Israel
Two MPs detained and deported by Israeli authorities for seeking information about Gaza is another clear sign of Israeli government weakness.
Attracting talent, offering safe spaces is good. If it goes hand in hand with extra resources for science / education.
If not, these plans will create extra competition in already precarious systems.
The fact is, many European countries cut on research spending.

Which policies do citizens prefer in economic crises? 💥
Leonardo Baccini, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social and Arlo Poletti show strong support for social spending & redistribution, but with an ideological divide: right-wing voters are far less likely to back welfare for foreigners. 👇
Stamattina ho parlato a @radiopopolare.bsky.social dei tagli all'#università e delle loro conseguenze per il nostro lavoro e per chi fa ricerca (soprattutto precaria). Per questo domani partecipo allo #ScioperoGenerale.

For anyone interested in replication, this is a really amazing thread. Bravo Laura and colleagues. You have set a new standard for honesty and transparency.

Poche voci che parlino di Medio Oriente e dei crimini in atto a #Gaza qua o sbaglio?
Capito. Comprensibile
Sto provando a smettere di seguire una persona e non ci riesco. Clicco, mi esce il messaggio “non segui più X”, ricarico la pagina e la seguo di nuovo. 🤷♂️
Tendo a concordare, per ora.
Hi, thanks for adding me, if you can!
Albania’s 30 years journey to European values. From left to right: prison of Spaç, infamous site for political detention, officially closed in 1991. Prison of Gjadër, hailed as a new model in the management of human flows, officially open today to migrants deported by Italy.
Note to self: ribilanciare la bolla.
Mio problema principale finora su Bluesky: sono entrato quando il grosso della bolla erano accademici, e ancora la mia bolla è troppo piena di accademici. Se anche provo a farmi suggerire post, l'algoritmo risente di questo.
P.S. Non è "colpa" di Bluesky, ovviamente.
In questo momento la cosa affascinante di questo social è come le "community" si stiano pian piano ricostruendo. Un processo di contagio sociale che porta quelli della tua cerchia di là a venire di qua in quanto i legami sono trainati dalla condivisione di certi ideali/gusti.
Two tweets from Ycombinator founder Garry Tan. In the first, he quote tweets a graph of the national debt and says "cash is not trash but will eventually be trash". In the second he says "the message for investors is still simple, buy things of long term value that will durably survive any hyperinflation because they are important to society. The message for founders is to build those things"
once you become a zillionaire or whatever your only and overriding fear becomes somehow losing your money, which explains a lot about why these super-rich techy SF types fall hook-line-and-sinker for right-wing hyperinflation fearmongering
I am happy to share that my @bjpols.bsky.social paper with Elias Dinas is now OpenAccess, due to an agreement with the EUI.
Using an instrumental variable approach, we find little evidence that the number of parties affects the quality of democracy.

How do 1 million people evacuate anywhere in 24 hours? Especially when they have nowhere specifically to evacuate to?
How wld Peter Mair interpret the political developments in the US today? Writing about the EU he argued that when no opposition within the system is possible, opposition will turn against the system. 1/
In recent years, Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan have "normalized" relations with Israel. This shift in elite discourse and state behavior, however, is at odds with popular opinion in these countries and across the region.
Here are three charts underscoring this point...
Perché sono accademici e sanno come ci si comporta...
