This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Extending what is happening in the federal government into higher ed: faculty being purged because they are disfavored by the new regime

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

Ich dachte schon grundsätzliche Updates könnten Familienbild (Kinderbetreuung, Steuerpolitik, usw) betreffen. Aber da ist ja alles supi in Deutschland....

Meine Eltern sollten kommen. Vater schaut dann zufällig wenige Wochen vor der Reise nochmal in der App. Wir tauschen dann Tickets via storno und bezahlen am Ende viel weniger. Ich hab dann nachher auch nochmal für ne andre Reise geschaut. Da hætte ich auch eur gespart wenn ich spæter gekauft hætte?!

Noch krasser: ich buche Tickets früh weil billig und so und finde sie dann zum halben Preis wenige Wochen vor der Abreise. Selber Zug. Selbe Verbindung. 🤯

Putin is an authoritarian who won his last election with 87% of the vote and murdered his main political rival.

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.🧵

"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.
