Jeder Satz Quatsch.
Insgesamt sehr interessante Interviews, vielen Dank für‘s Teilen!
Mit dem Strohmannargument ‚Genderideologie’ gegen die Sicherung von Frauenrechten durch die Justiz und den Abbau diskriminierender Gesetze. Wie gut, dass die Erklärung trotzdem angenommen wurde.
My fab team @katandthetexts.bsky.social, Lena Gotteswinter and I will host the interdisciplinary conference "Encampment, Confinement, and Community: Camps in U.S. American Media" Dec. 3-5, 2026. Spread the word, apply, and come join us at @tu-dortmund.de! The biggest Christmas tree of Europe awaits.
Ja.
Frauen auch. 15%.
«To collect photographs is to collect the world,» Susan Sontag once wrote. Where photography appropriated the world, generative AI exploits what has already been appropriated. To generate synthetic images is to let the world disappear behind the dominant patterns derived from already existing images
Wahrheit zum internationalen #Frauentag 2026.
Sie haben Kinder alleine durchgebracht, sich scheiden lassen, wurden Witwe und haben gegen Behörden und Staatsobrigkeit gekämpft.
Wir alle stehen auf den Schultern der Frauen, die vor uns kamen und es ist unsere Aufgabe den Kampf um Brot, aber auch um Rosen weiter zu führen. Vor allem die Rosen.
Am Weltfrauentag stehen in München drei Männer zur Wahl, die eine reelle Chance auf das Amt des Oberbürgermeisters haben. We got a long way to go, fast überall.
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
What's so viscerally upsetting about this is that making up words and attributing them to real writers, alive or not, is essentially making and selling deepfakes of the writers. It's incredibly violating.
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
but of course 💃🏽
Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Staatsminister Weimer lässt für einen Preis nominierte Buchhandlungen vom Geheimdienst durchleuchten.
„Die Möglichkeit der politischen Einflussnahme in der Kulturförderung ist rechtlich viel größer, als uns das bewusst und lieb ist. Und wohin das führt, sehen wir in den USA.“

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
If you’re thinking about a master in North American Studies: look into Hannover! We’re smart, we’re international, and we’re fun! We also have a great promo video!
Teenager und überhaupt jüngere Leute im Viertel stabil: stehen sie mit ihren Protestschildern rund um den AfD Wahlstand und rühren sich nicht vom Fleck.
Mindestens eines davon bis Mitternacht:
- überlegen, welche Freund_innen Lebensfreude ausstrahlen und woher sie die nehmen
- ein persönliches Vorurteil ausmachen und gedanklich bearbeiten
- Tagebuch schreiben beginnen
- Schneeglöckchen applaudieren
- x mit Käse überbacken

„Wir alle haben nach unseren Opferaussagen gesucht“, sagte bei CNN Jess Michaels, die mit 22 von Epstein missbraucht wurde. „Stark redigierte und fehlende Verhörprotokolle deuten darauf hin, dass dieses Justizministerium tatsächlich das ganze Land manipuliert.“
So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”
The closing of African American Studies and GWSS at Iowa is absolutely heartbreaking. It is such an important time to study these subjects. Words really cannot express how upsetting this decision is. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...
Students feel like they can’t enroll in majors like Af-Am Studies and WGSS because they’re getting messages from all sides that they’re not remunerative. And yet they desperately want the knowledge, so classes are full. That seems to be the situation everywhere.
A US senator sitting down on camera with an ordinary person who can speak to the horrors Trump is perpetrating, and using her position to give that person a soapbox.
An essential, effective tactic, and one that too few Dems have adopted. Very welcome.

What about enslaved families, Japanese Americans, Indigenous boarding schoolers, family detention.….?
"In a blow to the First Amendment and privacy, the Trump administration last week approved a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) plan to collect social media handles from both *legal immigrants and U.S. citizens* applying to change their immigration status."
