Bild von Margot Friedländer

Bleibt Menschen

Holocaust-Überlebende Margot Friedländer ist tot Margot Friedländer ist tot. Wie ihre Stiftung mitteilte, starb die Holocaust-Überlebende am Freitag im Alter von 103 Jahren in ihrer Heimatstadt Berlin.

Mit großer Trauer nehme ich Abschied von Margot Friedländer. Mit Wärme, Empathie und großer Kraft erinnerte sie unermüdlich an die dunkelste Zeit unserer Geschichte. Ihr Vermächtnis bleibt: „Seid und bleibt Menschen.“ Diese Botschaft weiterzutragen, ist unsere Aufgabe. www.spiegel.de/panorama/mar...

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

Good morning from Copenhagen and the first day of the 2025 @eale-office.bsky.social -tour! We look forward to a great day with 3 terrific JM-candidates sharing experiences and flash talks by CPH students! generously supported by CEBI-The Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality

"Why did I decide to go to grad school?... I was inspired by the beginnings of the feminist movement to push the boundaries.... someone gave me a copy of Friedan’s The Feminist Mystique"

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.

I hope it is not lost, in all of the chaos at the federal level, that there are many longstanding, discretionary programs that are on the Administration's chopping block, either directly or through the erosion of agency staff, expertise, and capacity. Programs enacted and reauthorized through...

Exactly this. What is bringing global and generational shame on the United States at this moment is not the actions of one person, but the limp abdication by countless powerful Americans walking away from their duty to stop it.

From what I'm seeing in Europe, the real game changer here isn't really the Trump admin itself, but how quickly American elites - political, corporate, institutional and academic - just failed to respond and resist in any meaningful way.

US prestige culture, as seen from abroad, just evaporated.

Books on race, gender identity and sexuality are gone. Books that acknowledge the cultural contributions of Black people to American art, or gendered or queer perspectives have been purged.

Scientists around the world....

Ppl are dying being denied medial care and self determination over their bodies. And now collecting crucial data is having no return for the health of many?!

This is beyond crazy:"Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans"

I teach a paper based on these important data. Shame on you, NIH. My believe in the US and freedom of research is shattered.

Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws - Mississippi Today The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.

This is the literal destruction of knowledge.

Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases.

US doctors describe three patient deaths that could have been prevented with abortion access in new study Doctors in states with abortion bans say patients were not told of abortion care as option for fear of legal consequences

Proud to be friends and colleagues with @hauschildt.bsky.social who did this crucial and heartbreaking work examining how abortion bans are making the quality of care worse for all pregnant people (and occasionally killing them)

Thanks for sharing widely!

More and more right-wing politicians cynically use Jews as scapegoats to justify hateful policies against other groups, such as Muslims, immigrants, or academic institutions.

It's an old trope to blame Jews for unpopular policies and to pit minorities against each other. Please don't fall for it.

So, who are the actual economists participating in this regime?

Is it time for some professional accountability? Because this is appalling nonsense and if you don’t support it, you should say so.

An economist who has spent several years publicly smearing me personally as an "activist" and "social engineer"…

… because in addition to my influential academic research, I also advise policymakers…

… now works directly for Donald Trump.
