Superb work from @pewresearch on national pride — and beautifully presented. When we ask what makes people proud of their country, the answers reveal something powerful: emotional bonds that run deeper than the divides we so often focus on. So much to build on here.
🌎 What makes you feel proud of your country? 🗣️ Though responses vary across 25 nations, at least some people in each country say they are proud of their politics and economics. 🧵⬇️

The report has some great immigration questions I haven't seen before, showing more room for agreement than usually assumed.
90% of Trump voters agree that "properly controlled immigration can be good for America" and 70% that it should be easier for people to immigrate legally egally).

JUST RELEASED: #BeyondMAGA, our new study of 12,000+ Trump voters, reveals Trump built a coalition, not a cult. Only 38% of his 77 million voters say being 'MAGA' is important to them. We identified 4 distinct types of Trump voters—each with different motivations and worldviews. iners, Anti-Woke Conservatives, Mainline Republicans, and Reluctant Right: BeyondMAGA.us

Significant that today's @nytimes poll finds for the first time, Americans' top concern is "our politics" (polarization, violence, threats to democracy) above economic issues. @Nate_Cohn's breakdown highlights a mood that is bleak but not catastrophic: nytimes.com/2025/09/30/pod…

Grateful for @SpencerJCox's recognition of @MoreInCommon_US on the @ezraklein podcast this week. He's thought deeply about evidence-based solutions to the spiral of polarization and violence. An essential voice right now.

@SpencerJCox @MoreInCommon_US @ezraklein Our work finds that the more people spend time on social media, the more likely they believe violence is justified. But there are big 'perception gaps': both Republicans and Democrats vastly overestimate the other side's acceptance of violence. moreincommon.substack.com/p/attitudes-to…

Fantastic to be launching @Moreincommon_’s new map of today’s Britain - compared to five years ago in the Brexit era, less frustrated with each other and far more frustrated with our systems:
In 2020 @Moreincommon_ launched the British 7 Segments. After a pandemic, major global conflicts, political upheaval, cost of living crisis, changes in work/social/information habits it’s time to update them for 2025. Here’s an intro to our new tribes of Britain (Quiz link next)

Brilliant piece from @LukeTryl and something @Moreincommon_ is seeing across our countries - something people are talking about with a lot of passion.
I’ve written for @SpecCoffeeHouse about people’s stories in focus groups of how they’ve turn inward and become less social since the pandemic and the risk it leaves us lonelier, more isolated less cohesive and less open to new experiences. (Link next)

Despite the polarized politics, what's surprising is how much Europeans and Americans – including Republicans – still share common ground over Ukraine. My article with @Moreincommon_ co-founder Mathieu Lefèvre: project-syndicate.org/commentary/tru…

I don’t think I’ve called anything a ‘must-read’ thread before, but first time for everything. This captures the mood very eloquently. Also worth noting that while the post-election let down is new the underlying sense of disappointment with every institution of society is not.
We spent the start of this week in Merthyr Tydfil & Dudley two top Reform targets talking to voters in a series of focus groups to try find out how real Farage’s party’s momentum is. I’ve written about the deep disillusionment we found in today’s @guardian (link in next post).

Major new study of what Gen Z in Britain think about social media. So sad, the regrets about getting it young. Most think it harms them and their generation; say life would be better with an age limit of 16.

Fascinating article making use of an unexpected change in editor at Germany’s largest tabloid to test whether a negative shift In how immigrants are portrayed by a newspaper produces a negative soft on readers’ attitudes. Conclusion? It did not.

A special @Moreincommon_ moment after our study of UK public attitudes to smartphones: the teachers’ union and the Conservatives forming a unity ticket. Great examples of an issue where public support transcends political differences.
Pleased to be alongside @KemiBadenoch and @LauraTrottMP
on this.
Daniel Kebede, the general secretary of the National Education Union, called for “deep-seated reform of the way social media is regulated”

Just the most astounding bit of TV journalism imaginable. @clarissaward is a titan.
"Syria is free."
Extraordinary moment as @clarissaward and her team witness a Syrian prisoner freed from a secret prison in Damascus.
Left alone for days without food, water or light, the man was unaware Bashar al-Assad's regime had fallen.Community noteVerify-Sy, a Syrian fact checking group, now says that this man is Air Force Intelligence First Lieutenant Salama Mohammad Salama, notorious for extortion and theft in Homs, who had been arrested due to disputes with his colleagues about profit sharing.

Thinking of Syrian friends who have lost so much, but have not lost hope. "It is time for Syrians to lead a peaceful Syria. Free and democratic ... Almost every Syrian carries pain and trauma into this new moment. It is a moment that holds such promise." diary.thesyriacampaign.org/syria-is-free-…
