I am very excited to share our article! @mariamsalehi.bsky.social, Johanna Grabert, and I look into how manifestations of the imperial boomerangs shape subjectivities, modes of governance, and material conditions - today and in the heart of Berlin: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you for reading Mariam! Do check out this Respect the Marble piece that I wrote about writing in a second language: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/the-hidden...

I liked the piece and the “refusal to write before we’ve thought something through“ resonates with how writing works for me. But I also thought that the clarity and risk-taking is definitely easier to achieve and do when you write in your first language.

Good that @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social leaves no room for ambivalence here! I expect (i .e. hope) that there will be a clear rejection of political pressure to cancel Albanese‘s participation. www.fu-berlin.de/en/presse/in...

We see several dimensions of the knowledge politics of violence at play here. For one, the public display of killing journalists, as @argohdes.bsky.social has mentioned, for everyone to see. At the same time, on the ground reporting on atrocities is made virtually impossible 1/

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

In 2021-22 I wrote an essay called “The Holocaust and the Challenges of Representation” for the Cambridge History of the Holocaust, a 4-vol. collection masterfully ed. by Mark Roseman (& Laura Jockush & Devin Pendas) that has just appeared.

Finally! But of course this is not enough and I really hope that the purpose of the phrasing “could be used in the Gaza Strip“ is not to establish loopholes

Stephan Brandner von der AfD nennt den Rückzug von Brosius-Gersdorf einen "kleinen Sieg der Vernunft" und kündigt an, jetzt auch gegen die zweite Kandidatin Ann-Kathrin Kaufhold vorzugehen. Der ganze Vorgang befördert solche Kampagnen der extremen Rechten.

Of course, seeing the starving hostages is horrific, taking them in the first place a war crime, and the propaganda video shows cruelty and inhumane treatment. This doesn’t make starving Palestinians less horrific or cruel, though. 1/

Why do emancipatory activists continue to engage in technocratic institutions despite their knowledge of depoliticization and cooptation? @mariamsalehi.bsky.social and I attempt to answer this question by typologizing the reasons for entering these dangerous arenas link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Die Debatte um Bilder hungernder Kinder mit Vorerkrankungen gibt es so nur in Gaza. Sie basiert auf medizinischen Fehlannahmen und soll den Blick von politischer Verantwortung auf Einzelschicksale lenken. Mein Gastbeitrag in der @faznet.bsky.social: www.faz.net/aktuell/gese...

In unserem heutigen Gastbeitrag in der @fr-zeitung.bsky.social schreiben @janwilkens.bsky.social und ich warum die Luftbrücke ein Ablenkungsmanöver ist und warum Merz & Wadephul die Forderungen aus der @spdfraktion.de umsetzten sollten. #ceasefirenow #stoparmingisrael

Bottom Line: "Eine Außenpolitik, die Völkerrechtsverbrechen ohne Konsequenzen kritisiert, schadet nicht nur der Glaubwürdigkeit Deutschlands, sondern befeuert autoritäre Tendenzen und trägt zur Untergrabung des Völkerrechts und der regelbasierten Ordnung weltweit bei."

@goldmatt.bsky.social und ich haben einen knappen Beitrag mit klarer Message für das IPG-Journal geschrieben: Schluss mit deutschen Waffenlieferungen an Israel. www.ipg-journal.de/regionen/nah...

Taner Akçam, Marianne Hirsch, and I introduce the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network and call for immediate concrete measures to prevent further atrocity crimes and to protect civilians in Gaza.

Ich hoffe, dass die angekündigte Luftbrücke nicht nur Symbolpolitik ist, sondern begleitet wird von Maßnahmen, die dazu führen, dass substantiell große Mengen an Lebensmitteln nach Gaza kommen, sowie Druck auf die israelische Regierung das Töten zu beenden. www.zeit.de/politik/2025...

Ich habe hier gerade eine kleine Spende dagelassen, damit hoffentlich nicht gleich der erste Schultag sich für die Kinder so anfühlt, als würden sie nicht dazugehören.

"Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation," UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X on Saturday. "They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke." www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-...

the only obstacles to getting food in by land are political. As Alex de Waal noted earlier this week, in contrast with other modern famines, famine in Gaza is unusually characterized by how easy it would be to get the already-waiting food into Gaza www.youtube.com/shorts/FPKPD...
