Vor einigen Jahren war es noch kompliziert, über das deutsche Bundesarchiv NSDAP-Mitgliedschaften abzufragen. Nun haben die National Archives in den USA anscheinend die gesamte Zentralkartei ins Netz gestellt. Jedenfalls ein sehr tolles Tool für Mikrogeschichte. catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

🌈 We are happy to announce our next webinar! @seangivnish.bsky.social will present his super interesting work on the HIV/AIDS movement in Africa on March 5th. 📆 Be sure to join us!

Far-right authoritarian tactics to socially marginalize, intimidate, and disenfranchise a group. The oppression of one group signals to others you could be next. This goes far beyond bigotry. The authoritarian playbook enabled and empowered by anti-trans and anti-woke actors.

CN Arofeindlichkeit In der Aro Week #ASAW muss leider auch über Arofeindlichkeit gesprochen werden. Das Konzept der Amatonormativität beschreibt die Annahme, dass sich jede*r eine romantischen Beziehung wünscht. Viele Aros fallen aus den sich daraus ergebenden Erwartungen raus. (1/8)

Der Satz "Mein Opa wurde im KZ vergast, meine Tochter in Hanau erschossen" von Filip Goman, dem Vater von Mercedes Kierpacz, bringt die Kontinuität deutscher Täterschaft auf den Punkt. Hätte dieses Land IRGENDWAS aus seiner Vergangenheit gelernt, wäre Hanau nicht passiert.

why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤

Die Debatte zu Jugendlichen und sozialen Medien passiert fast ausschließlich unter der Annahme, dass junge Menschen zuhause sicher, unterstützt und akzeptiert sind. Die Realität ist natürlich eine andere. Soziale Medien sind eben auch eine Möglichkeit mit dieser Realität umzugehen.

I don't know how you can honestly look at the last 7 years of thousands of anti-trans bills, a billion in anti-trans spending, laser focus by right wing think tanks, and billionaires personally engaged in the effort and think that all of this is a backlash to some trans people being mean online.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

👆 Hello new government name (& bye legal gender entry)! Here's what you need to know: You called me Gwendolyn? Call me Gwyn. You called me Gwen? Call me Gwyn. You called me Gwenny? Great, keep calling me Gwenny :)

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

“The suppression of gender studies is not only an attempt to suppress a critical analytical tool, but also knowledge itself.”

but we're not **obsessed** there's people on the right who can't make any decision, decode any social interaction, think of themselves in any way, save through an essentialist gender lens their entire project is inseparable from neurotic fears of forced feminisation

now, they will say, its us with our feminism & pronouns who are obsessed no, we think it matters, we think it's part of people's identities, we think its consequential - clearly gender informs a lot of our language, social conventions, how we process politics even

the modern right is pathologically obsessed with gender in a way that has absolutely no analogue on our side

CN Transfeindlichkeit Rosa Listen Trans Personen brauchen Schutz vor Verfolgung, Gewalt und Diskriminierung. Rosa Listen geben Verfolgung ein mächtiges Mittel in die Hand. Das ist gefährlich, menschenfeindlich, verstößt imho gegen das Gesetz und wir sollten uns dagegen wehren! #TransRights

This is gender.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

He’s a sundowning malignant narcissist with weird welts on his hand terrified of being blackmailed over things he barely remembers, what’s your excuse?

But of course universities are politically unbiased places of learning, also here in Germany, where they‘re defunding any of those disciplines that might be able to weigh in on whether or not shooting someone in the face is good or bad or maybe fascism, but we don‘t want to use that term too lightly

Then again, I keep being told we mold tomorrow’s leaders and I guess we want them to be as feckless and pusillanimous as those we have now. (3/3)

But maybe we could at least have a series called Difficult Conversations or Disagreeing with Being Disagreeable or Democracy and Disagreement, and have an event called “Shooting People in the Face without Provocation: Good or Bad?” Would our donors allow that or nah? (2/3)

I get that our universities are bound by their institutional neutrality on weighing in on partisan questions like whether it’s okay for armed paramilitaries to shoot civilians dead on the street. It’s the sort of thing an institution committed to the truth couldn’t possibly weight in on. (1/2)

I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a reflection on the limits of the authoritarian assault – and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship. This week’s piece:

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

CN #Ableismus #Saneismus Trump greift in seinen Reden aktuell ganz besonders intensiv Menschengruppen an, die er als „insane“ bezeichnet- diese Menschen müssten ~weg~. Wenn deine Reaktion darauf ungebrochen „Wahaha, der Typ is doch crazy!🤪“ is, dann bist auch du ne immer größere Gefahr für Bedrohte.

Is there an effort underway to cast women as inherently incapable and irrational and the tools of their liberation as corrupt and untrustworthy? Or am I just crazy because I’m in my luteal phase. 🤪 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Ich bin sehr gespannt wer hier wie ganz genau sanktioniert werden soll, und wie sich die Sanktionspläne mit der Freiheit von Forschung und Lehre vertragen.

Die haben sehr gute, von talentierten und professionellen Fotograf*innen gemachte Fotos, die sie klein daneben reproduzieren - ohne Nennung der Fotograf*innen! - und machen daraus geglätteten faken Mist. So kann man Historiker*innen und Frauen gleichzeitig den Mittelfinger zeigen.

Despite what some adults seem to think, teenagers are fully human.

wikipedia's new editor count is down a bit and perhaps it's your time to try it editing!!! it's a small and concrete way to help and here are a few ways to start!!!

Welche “gemeinsamen Werte” denn?

If only there was as much effort put into improving youth services, making sports, arts and crafts available and affordable, and making the physical environment more 'teen-friendly' as there is for banning kids from social media or taking their phones away.
