Hier ne sehr gute podcastfolge dazu. open.spotify.com/episode/3RoJ...

Das Kassandra-Syndrom live und in Action: Frau wird als alarmistisch abgestempelt, ihr Expertise angezweifelt und dann, wenn sich rausstellt, she was right all along, kommen andere und sagen "was ist".

Und nein, soweit ich sehe kein Zitat, kein Verweis, keine Anfrage. Versteht mich nicht falsch - ich bin froh, dass das Thema endlich in etablierten Medien wahrgenommen wird. Es ist trotzdem frustrierend, als Expertin seit Jahren davor zu warnen, und jetzt entdecken es alle - ohne Credit.

Vor 4 Jahren erschien übrigens mein Buch, „Amerikas Gotteskrieger“. Was gab es damals Empörung wegen des Titels (und Inhalts) - die Warnung vor christlichem Nationalismus & Theokratie (noch dazu von einer jungen Frau!) wurde als hysterisch abgetan. Jetzt titelt der Spiegel genau das: „Gotteskrieger“

ICYMI yesterday: I need your help   I re-launched my newsletter at a new platform called “Steady” – and most importantly, I officially started my new life as a full-time independent writer.   I am extremely excited this moment has finally come. And I am utterly terrified.

Wie wunderbar, dass die phantastische Bibliothek des Goethe-Instituts in NY ein Exemplar von @ilkokowalczuk.bsky.social Freiheitsschock besitzt. Bin gespannt!

"Look, we are a labor union. We’re going to fight & respond to this moment...We're standing for what we always stood for...a powerful higher-education sector that leads to innovation & social mobility & is a bedrock of our democracy." —Todd Wolfson, AAUP President #DefendHigherEd #AcademicSky

That was the worst presidential press conference on public health since the last time Trump did a press conference on public health.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Bei Miosga stellt Jens Spahn die republikanische Gleichschaltung der US Medien als bloße Reaktion auf eine angebliche „Cancel Culture“ der Demokraten dar. Und unterstreicht dabei sehr schön, was die Mär vom linken Meinungsdiktat bei vielen ihrer glühendsten Erzähler immer schon vorbereiten sollte.

📚 2026 is the year my full Starting Strong mini series will be out! The 2nd book in the series, Moments of Meaning: Reflective Practice in Early Years Education, arrives in February 2026. Excited to share more soon! 🌱✨ #StartingStrongSeries #EarlyYears #ReflectivePractice

This sounds fantastic!

Agreed. Will do this too soon. Highly recommended for the #academicchatter

Looking forward to speaking at the 14th Edinburgh Froebel Network Conference. #Froebel

Es ist 5 vor 12: Unsere Demokratie ist akut bedroht. Hochschulen haben Verantwortung für ihren Schutz — & müssen dazu auch ihre eigenen Strukturen umgestalten: Zu viele Abhängigkeiten stehen Mitbestimmung entgegen! Mehr im Interview mit mir zu #LauteWissenschaft: www.gew-nrw.de/neuigkeiten/...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

Second day of the semester, and already way too many meetings that I never wanted to attend. Never!

Männer, die ihre Frauen misshandeln, sind schlechte Väter. Sie bringen den Kindern bei, dass Gewalt und Machtausübung ein probates Werkzeug im sozialen Miteinander sind und sie sorgen dafür, dass die Mütter beschädigt werden. Sehen leider Familiengerichte meist anders.

One of the things I’ve come to suspect over the course of doing @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social’s Project 1933 is that the Stephen Millers of Trump world are imitating the Nazis on purpose, as a kind of tribute or cosplay.

It's out a bit late, but here's the August episode of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social's Project 1933: mostly about dead time, the tedium of fascism and what Hegel called "lazy existence" -- punctuated by arbitrary violence and unhinged policy decisions. (1/2) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This guy gets it. This is the way.

Traurige Nachricht: Heute gibt es keine neue Folge von „Was bisher geschah“. Denn bisher wurden wir von einem großen Medienhaus unterstützt. Das ist jetzt leider Geschichte. Aber der @nminkmar.bsky.social und ich wollen weitermachen. Dafür brauchen wir Eure Hilfe: linktr.ee/wasbisherges...

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Last Dance

Game on.

Ich habe geschrieben, dass das Gerede von "woker Cancel Culture" bloß eine Verschwörungstheorie ist, und dass echte Meinungsunterdrückung viel eher von autoritären Regimes ausgeht. Das hat einige Leute schwer getriggert. Und das ist auch gut so. Aber ein paar Anmerkungen sind noch wichtig:

Können wir dieses Bild des Oberbürgermeisters von Koblenz bitte auch viral gehen lassen 🌈 Well played, David Langer 🙏🏻

"Thinking with Froebel can't give us any simple answers. But it can help to ask the right questions." If you missed our webinar on ‘Freedom with Guidance’ with @helwasmuth.bsky.social, you can now watch the recording on our website. www.froebel.org.uk/training/fil... #Froebel #EarlyYears

Wenn Menschen sagen, dass sie meine Texte gelesen haben, ist die Reaktion meist 1 Mischung aus Freude, Panik und Imposter-Syndrom, wobei die Freude natürlich überwiegt. Wenn Ihr Texte von Forschys lest, die Ihr im besten Fall auch gut findet, sagt es ihnen – unbedingt! 🫶 Gilt auch für gute Lehre. 💜

Really interesting to unpick the details of Froebels words @helwasmuth.bsky.social - thanks to Jane too for hosting and adding such insightful reflections - love the human/ humane consideration @froebeltrust.bsky.social - see you all in Erfurt!

Just hope this is not true. If it is, unbelievably sad. What a great scholar dailynous.com/2025/06/20/h...

What a despicable comment from his press secretary. Jose Padilla is a convicted terrorist.

Thank you @froebeltrust.bsky.social for another fascinating webinar @helwasmuth.bsky.social Looking forward to connecting with and reconnecting with fellow Froebelians in Erfurt @intfroebelsociety.bsky.social

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

this is going to be an unpopular take but this is 1000000000% bait, this is 1000000000% vance intentionally driving far right traffic to this website, this is 1000000000% implicit brigading (surely to Musk's great joy), and therefore you should 1000000000% not take the aforementioned incoming bait

Two more days! I think there are still some open spots. I will talk about one of #Froebel 's most important letters, and share some new ideas on what Froebel pedagogy means today for the #ECEC profession. @intfroebelsociety.bsky.social @falkirkfroebel.bsky.social @froebelpartnership.bsky.social

Check out this wonderful report of my keynote on school children’s dreams by 15-year-old Leo Clarkson. Such a privilege to get your perspective! eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

After stumbling up plane stairs and dropping his papers, confusing Justin Trudeau with Stephen Harper and the UK with the EU, the elderly, confused Trump is going home early to rest, using unhinged threats to declare war against Iran as cover.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Reading this for the first time since reading James while thinking about how I’ll teach both of them together next fall (opening w this in September) is making this a fun/layered reading experience.

"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...
