"It is far too soon to predict how this strange new world will play out.

"Literature makes visible what mainstream discourses conceal," said spring 2025 fellow & German literature professor Agnes Mueller at her Academy talk about contemporary German–Jewish fiction by young post-Holocaust writers. 📺 Watch here: buff.ly/3F0rLWv 📸 Annette Hornischer

"The choices we make to invest in the resilience and robustness of [cyberspace] to then defend this space…is what will determine whether we go down the good path or the not good path," said Chris Inglis, Fmr National Cyber Director at the White House, at his talk about the future of cyber security.

"Of the 100 official acts that the new Trump administration has launched in recent weeks, perhaps 5 or 10 are really important. We journalists have to find out which ones we should pay attention to—& which ones we should not," Jeffrey Goldberg tells @dirkpeitz.bsky.social: buff.ly/41x6KeQ

Academy president Daniel Benjamin was on 3sat's Kulturzeit last night to talk about shifts in US politics, how to maintain transatlantic ties and the Academy's enduring mission. 📺 Watch the interview here (starting at 5:15): buff.ly/4bk9QWA

"Germany’s memory culture may be flawed & insufficient in many ways. But young migrants have set their migratory experiences in Germany against the forever-present backdrop of Holocaust to create works of fiction that address the current moment," ✍️ spring fellow Agnes Mueller in the Berlin Journal.

"We really could be at a critical juncture in history right now." Given Russia's invasion of Ukraine, China's predatory mercantilism, & a second Trump presidential term, spring fellow & fmr "Foreign Affairs" editor Gideon Rose examined what might be necessary to protect Europe in decades to come.

Truth well told, by Gideon Rose. @americanacademy.bsky.social

Very timely thoughts from Gideon Rose @americanacademy.bsky.social @cfr.org on “The Future of European Security”: The imbalance of power has hollowed out the NATO relationship—US less likely to withdraw from alliance than simply erode its security guarantees from the inside
