The presidents of 200 US colleges declare: "As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education." Good! www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Happy Kindergarten Day! Get out in nature, play with blocks, sing songs, or read a book about the life of the father of kindergarten (ok, I am biased here). Happy Birthday to Friedrich #Froebel, who was born 243 years ago!

If you are interested in the similarities and differences between the spring of 1933 in Germany and the spring of 2025 in the US, listen to this podcast. The first two episodes are excellent!

Wie sehr die Nazis geifern, weil wir einen Preis gegen das Vergessen der Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus gewonnen haben. Nazi-Seiten veröffentlichen Hetz-Artikel voller Beleidigungen, auf Twitter rasten sie aus. Wenn dich die Faschisten hassen, dann müssen wir wohl etwas richtig machen. Danke!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Da gerade viele erschrocken in Richtung USA blicken: Was glaubt ihr denn was eine AfD-Regierung mit all den Stolpersteinen & Gedenkstätten machen würde? Meint ihr ernsthaft, Schulklassen fahren dann noch nach Auschwitz? Ich sage nur „Fliegenschiss“ & „Mahnmal der Schande“. Was erwartet ihr denn?

I wrote quite a bit about Froebel´s spherical law and the goal of life unification with God in this smaller piece; you might find it interesting. It´s based on one of his later letters during the time of the establishment of kindergarten

It has been two months. I wrote about why the Trumpists have been able to so swiftly overwhelm most of the country’s (evidently weak) democratic defenses, and about that space between (no longer) democracy and full-scale autocracy where America now exists, for @zeit.de (in German):

Wer glaubt, dass der Autoritarismus unserer Tage durch „Woke“ und Linke verursacht worden wäre, hat sich noch nie mit der Neuen Rechten beschäftigt. Schlimmer: er geht ihrer Strategie auf den Leim.

Wir waren gestern aus mit Freund*innen, die alle an amerikanischen Unis oder wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen arbeiten. Meine Freundin, seit vielen Jahren tenured an einer Ivy League in einer knochentrockenen Labordisziplin, sagt todernst: I don't know if I will still have my job next year.

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer. Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

This is fascism. If you've ever wondered what you would do, now is the moment when you find out. If there is a protest, go to it. If not, organize one. Call Congress. If you have a microphone, now is the time to use it. The historical record is crystal clear. This will not stop here.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.
