Über dan antisemitischen Pogrom im Scheunenviertel vom 5./6. November 1923 berichtete die internationale Presse ausführlich. Ich habe dazu mal einen Aufsatz geschrieben. academic.oup.com/leobaeck/art...

Forschung ist ihre Leidenschaft

oh just straight up gutter racism!

"Es werde wohl nicht der letzte Fund sein, sagt Alina Bothe: 'Vieles liegt vermutlich noch in privaten Bilderalben. Aus Berlin, wo es 180 Transporte gab, haben wir bisher kein einziges Foto gefunden. Dabei hatten zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung in den 1930ern Kameras. Es muss diese Bilder geben.'" 1/2

Wie wurde (und wird) in Deutschland über menschliches Leben diskutiert & entschieden? Haben wir aus der Vergangenheit gelernt? Petra Gehring und Dagmar Herzog stellen ihre @suhrkamp.de-Bücher zur Geschichte der Bioethik & -politik in Deutschland am KWI vor. 🗓️ 4.11.25, 18 Uhr tinyurl.com/45hhddmj

Going through some files today and noticed a note that i I had overlooked when I wrote my chapter on race and racism in early west german citizenship law - underlines that position of BVerfG-Richterin Erna Scheffler was that ‘rasse’ and religion were ‘unseren Staat konstituierende Elemente’.

Average Tory leadership hopeful: we should re-establish the Raj. Let's have a fifth Anglo-Asante war. I do not think that Romanians count as people on a legal or metaphysical level. Labour response: after 14 years of Tory mismanagement only Labour can be trusted to strip Romanians of their souls.

NEW RESEARCH confirms: Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right. (I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Ob diese Aussage vom Bundeskanzler oder vom Parteivorsitzenden getätigt wird?

glad to see that Merz, having been criticised for his (unplanned, spontaneous) racist dog whistle of last week, has opted to replace said racist dog whistle with a völkisch klaxon

She said both that integration matters but was very pessimistic about how possible it is after *many* generations Language of "a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" conveys a sense that *some* people may remain too visibly different, somehow, to be "culturally coherent"

Migration ist ein Problem, dass der Bundeskanzler im Stadtbild sieht? @katharinadroege.bsky.social hat eine deutliche Meinung. 👇🏽

So tasteless that the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum sells these (the salesman told me that the Jehovah’s Witness ones are the bestsellers)

Compulsory 'voluntary work' is just unpaid Labour. Effectively they want to make migrants do community service for the crime of wanting to live in the UK

Flying to Washington tomorrow for the GSA and very excited to hear some very exciting papers about german history/literature/culture/politics And also maybe fulfil my lifelong dream of a fling with a member of the National Guard! Much gratitude to Trump 4 making Washington a suitable site for this

Oh wow - neben vielen anderen Engagierten mit tollen Projekten wurde ich mit der Forschung und Vermittlung zur #HASAG für den Éva Fahidi-Preis vorgeschlagen und nominiert. Eine sehr große Ehre - wie auch immer die Entscheidung letztlich ausfällt. www.fahidievaprize.net

Why are some granted the dignity of averted eyes and others not spared judgment? It's often for the same reasons as Butler identified for why some are mourned and others ignored. But it's important to distinguish the two responses, because they represent two distinct social phenomena.

Interested to read this! Immer wieder struck by the negative side-effects of Opferfixierung in Holocaust memory (not exactly an original observation, but nonetheless)

»Sie plädiert für eine pluralistische, neue Gedenkarbeit mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der Verantwortung der Nachfahren der Tätergeneration anstelle unserer ›einstudierten‹ gemeinsamen Rückschau mit den Opfern.« Das Buch von Susanne Siegert (@keine.erinnerungskultur) erscheint Ende Oktober.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

This is what I mean about the minutiae of American fascism infecting British political discourse. We have our own fascism to sort out

Watching this video made this already terrifying story so much worse.

What a horrifying answer. -Given that Israel is destroying the conditions for Palestinian life in Gaza -Given the rampant genocidal discourse in Israel The UK should live to its responsibility to PREVENT genocide Whether the court eventually finds a "specific intention" or not is secondary

every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"

That's why I keep saying: fascism, the ultimate end of reactionary politics, is not an alternative ideology or set of principles. It is their absence. It's a permission structure, license to slough off the voice of conscience, join a thought-deafening mob, and indulge your basest instincts.

Alles Meldungen aus den letzten Tagen. Die Verkehrspolitik des Berliner Senats ist ein reiner Fiebertraum.

Vance argued that Americans who trace their ancestry to pre-Civil War have a greater claim to citizenship (slaves’ descendants excluded, natch) and others should be officially second class. He explains his beliefs a lot. But acknowledging it means admitting they’re extreme and no Dem is equivalent.

trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

Reminder that small boat migration is c.5% of all UK immigration. And asylum-seeking generally is far lower per head of UK population than most other west European countries e.g. 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇦🇹 🇮🇪. Yes even Ireland takes way more. Yet none have the same sense of crisis and moral panic as the UK.
