Und das ganze Auditorium schweigt...wir müssen nochmal über Zivilcourage reden.

As historians, can we please at least settle on a definite method to determine, once and for all, which centuries were long and which were short? That’s the least non-historians can expect from us.

Please help spread the news far and wide! We have a new, full-time, permanent Lecturer in Global History of Science job @stsucl.bsky.social Don't be fooled by the application of deadline of only 9 June 2026. This is an open search #histsci #skystorians www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

El descenso demográfico de los afroargentinos: una conversación que tuve con Magdalena Candioti y Hernán Otero

Endlich! SPD, Grüne und Linke empfehlen heute ihren Mitgliedern, ihre Accounts auf "X" still zu legen. Bleibt die Frage: Wann folgen die anderen demokratischen Parteien? Und was ist mit der Bundesregierung? Musks Plattform ist kein Forum, sondern ein Verstärker für Hass & Hetze. #WirVerlassenX

"Paranoia, cruelty and the faux-knowing cynical cluelessness of conspiracy theories all extend far beyond the Magaverse now. They are qualities routinely displayed across the political spectrum… "This might be Donald Trump’s lasting legacy: he has already reshaped America in his own image."

"A history professor course could not allocate instructional time to the Stonewall riots or the gay rights movement. If a U.S. history textbook includes a chapter on the AIDS crisis, the professor must skip it." www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

This is the exact same RFK saying the exact same stuff he does now. The big bad corporations are doing vaccines and stuff to make you sick and all the experts and agencies are corrupted by them, and they're like Nazis really, so I'm gonna go clean house and stop them. It's the same shtick.

In Haaretz ist heute ein Artikel über posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen bei israelischen Soldaten, die zuletzt in Gaza gedient haben. Ich habe einige der Aussagen im Artikel über die Verbrechen, die sie dort begangen haben, übersetzt. Dazu gehört tatsächlich eine Trigger-Warnung:

What began as a lecture on the field's evolution is turning into a paper. An animation mapping the affiliations of over 3,000 authors published in the EHR over the last century (Latin America is the most underrepresented region). @echistsocreview.bsky.social @echistsoc.bsky.social

China’s Great Leap Forward caused a dramatic spike in child deaths— Child mortality rates in China have fallen from more than 20% in 1950 to less than 1% today. But this steady progress was interrupted in the late 1950s during the “Great Leap Forward”.

As someone who studies politicization of democratic militaries this statement on X is a five- alarm fire. It creates an undeniable permission structure for overt partisan behavior by mil. It's part of a concerted effort by civilian leaders to turn the U.S. military into a partisan aligned force.

But instead they just don’t care. They don’t really bother to push back. They don’t worry how it will be perceived. They know they can do anything, no matter how bad, and their insensate numbskull supporters will never question it, nor will the opposition or media ever truly push the issue.

Orbán’s Ceaușescu moment. Booed at his own rally, ranting and pointing fingers. His final message: Ukraine hatred.

"Some 2.1 million Gazans are now crowded into less than half the area they lived in before the war, trying to survive in harsh conditions amid rubble they cannot clear."

We see this in every war, images and videos that serve as stark reminders of how life carries on, even in a war zone. An Iranian girl plays on swings at a beach in the city of Bandar Abbas as smoke rises into the air from a nearby naval base that was targeted by US strikes.

Today, the UN General Assembly voted to condemn the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity. ➡️ 123 countries voted in favour. ➡️ 52 abstained. ➡️ 3 voted against: USA, Israel, Argentina. 🤐

The globalization of double standards through right-wing autocrats really makes you wonder about the short-term disadvantages of norms-bound behavior.

A week ago, @vdeminstitute.bsky.social published its latest annual report. A record 41% of the world’s population lives in countries undergoing autocratization. Yet aside from outlets like Guardian, ZEIT, SRF, media coverage across Europe has been strikingly limited. Why? www.srf.ch/news/interna...

With 11 other colleagues, we are launching a new online seminar series about Latin America in global history on Zoom. Here's the program for 2026. First meeting with @svenbeckert.bsky.social on Apr 10 at 4pm CET. All welcome. Link in program below, website to follow soon.

There was a time when this guy was actually a reasonably serious commentator on economic policy. Like Nate Silver, he decided to take the mask off, & it's just incredibly ugly now.

1/30 Pourquoi l’article du Figaro (18 mars 2026) signé Paul-François Paoli est-il une attaque ABSOLUMENT SCANDALEUSE contre Johann Chapoutot, Nicolas Offenstadt, Gérard Noiriel… et contre la recherche universitaires en général. ⤵️

You spent the entirety of Biden’s presidency calling him a warmonger for supporting Ukraine.

Really sorry to hear about Ricardo Pérez Monfort‘s passing, who I remember as an untiringly curious and original scholar and a real mensch. He went too early.

It's very likely that an oil shock helped to crater housing production in the 1970s and could be about to do so again. publiccomment.blog/p/the-housin...

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

We are quantifying this exact pattern and find: Israelis double as likely to be described using humanizing frames. Palestinians overwhelmingly described wrt infrastructure damage. Palestinians 6X more likely to be discussed in relation to their govt. Israelis paired with govt 5% of the time.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

i think most people who follow me are already with me on this, but here's my full case for why accountability is necessary & how i think we should lobby for it www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/abolish-ice

"Hey Kurds, it's the United States. Remember us, from all the betrayals? Anyhoo, would love it if you all could march into this thresher for us. Let us know."
