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....

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

Wir gedenken heute Walter #Lübcke. Der Kasseler Regierungspräsident wurde vor sechs Jahren, in der Nacht vom 1. auf den 2. Juni 2019, von einem Neonazi auf seiner Terrasse in Wolfhagen-Istha bei #Kassel ermordet. Er wurde 65 Jahre alt. #KeinVergessen #RechtenTerrorStoppen

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

...her autobio essay offers a sobering account of the obstacles she overcame econweb.ucsd.edu/~miwhite/sca... "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.

Reviews of Economic Literature has been launched True open access, managed by academics for academics, it follows our mass resignation from JES where the commercial publisher imposed very problematic conditions. Submit your literature reviews in economics! rel.journals.sup.org/index.php/re...

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. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/infantiliz...

Scientists around the world....

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

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

Berlin, 2025. Sagt nicht, dass ihr nicht seht, was gerade passiert.

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. www.whitehouse.gov/cea/informat...

This is perhaps the best of them all:

Apropos underskud/overskud: nogle gange godt med lidt perspektiv når man trækker "det naturlige lege" frem som argument. Her fra 1960erne. Her tør en rapport fra kbh ligefrem fastslå at halvdagsarbejde af moderen ikke skader børn. Selv heldagsarbejde synes ikke at skade. En hver tid har sine priors.

Noch Fragen....? Es wird Zeit, Deutschland!

Keiner sagt, was ist. CDU und SPD versuchen sich durch ein miserables Sondierungspapier und eine schlecht gemachte Schuldenbremsenausnahme das Leben leicht zu machen. Wer sich bewegen muss, sind Merz und Klingbeil. Sonst müssen sie halt mit der Linkspartei verhandeln.

Unser Gedenkort ist kein Müllplatz! In der Nacht zum 6. März wurde schon wieder Müll und Sperrmüll am Mahnmal für die deportierten und ermordeten Sinti und Roma in Neumünster abgestellt. Der Müll wurde am Vormittag des 6.3. zwar entfernt , aber der Schmerz bleibt, da es schon so oft passiert ist.⬇️

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Stichwort Sperrminorität: die gibt es nicht wenn BSW rausfliegt oder? Das ist wohl heute abend die wichtigste nicht gestellte Frage?

Hvem ønsker at afd deltager i regeringen? Fortællingen at et flertal ønsker inddragelsen af afd er bare ikke rigtigt!

Rejection day...

In den 80ern mischte eine Frau die Union gehörig auf: Rita Süssmuth wurde 1985 Gesundheitsministerin. Sie stand nicht nur für ein modernes Frauenbild, sondern hatte auch die bis dato schwerste Gesundheitskrise der Republik zu handeln. Während die CSU laut darüber 1/4
