Germany's New Government Is Scarier Than You Think
Friedrich Merz’s new government marks a shift towards ideological conservatism, with some of its key ministers setting the stage for a more authoritarian direction. Here’s what you need to know.
"Germany’s direction is clear: a shift away from the pretense of self-reflection, toward a colder and more militarized vision of the German state and identity." @hahauenstein.bsky.social with an excellent, if sobering, overview of German politics in 2025. hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/germany-ha...

Workers at Wilson Center Put on Leave as Trump Seeks Shutdown
About 130 employees of the Wilson Center were told they were being put on leave, just four days after workers for Elon Musk’s team entered the center.
"Researchers from around the world have used the archives for projects, and scholars especially value the center’s records of documents from the Cold War era." DOGE's
dismantling of @wilsoncenter.org is a brazen act of vandalism. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u...

Adam Shatz in @lrb.co.uk: "American college administrators and lawyers are responding to Trump’s bullying as if it were an opportunity to carry out ‘reforms’ – and as if they were secretly relieved that their hand has been forced by the Leader."

An insane decision by the State Department to terminate the Title VIII program, which has allowed American students to study the languages of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia – all essential for foreign policy, intelligence, the military and not least a better informed citizenry.

Zum Tod des Historikers Anson Rabinbach
Sein Horizont unterlag keiner nationalen Begrenzung: Zum Tod des Historikers Anson Rabinbach, der die kulturellen und politischen Umstände erforschte, unter denen der Nationalsozialismus aufstieg.
"Er stand dort für eine an Europa interessierte Forschung, die an Epochen erinnert, in denen Ideologien eine herausragende Rolle im Meinungskampf spielten. Jede Zeile von ihm war informativ." Jürgen Kaube in der @faznet.bsky.social zum Tod des Historikers Anson Rabinbach: www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

I'm saddened to learn about the passing of Anson Rabinbach, who was a wonderful scholar and the most supportive mentor I could have hoped for as an undergraduate student. Colleagues at the University of Wisconsin are collecting memories via the link in @jennifervevans.bsky.social's post.
