How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

Ganz im Ernst, wenn das Theater einen widerständigen gesellschaftlichen Anspruch hätte, sollten dort jetzt massenhaft Lesungen und Diskussionsrunden über Gender und Queer Studies stattfinden.

Statt Talkformaten und Symposien mehr gute Filme, Romane, Kunst, Literatur, Musik, Hörspiel statt Podcast und eine Wiederkehr des langen Sommers der Theorie wäre cool. So eine Nummer wie im Thalia-Theater kann mir auch Claude AI schreiben.

Allein diese faschistoide Weltsicht Parker's sollte jede (vernünftige, demokratische) Polizei-Organisation hierzulande davon abhalten, dieses Symbol zu nutzen oder sich damit zu identifizieren.

In seinem neuen Essay entfaltet @rainermuehlhoff.bsky.social die These einer ideologischen Affinität zwischen KI & Faschismus – eine unverzichtbare Lektüre, um die Verflechtung von Tech-Utopien, KI und rechtsextremer Politik besser zu verstehen, so Bastien Dratwa.

In the US academia is becoming unviable outside the R1 environment. And soon it will be unviable outside the ultra-elite tier of R1s. The UK is in a similar situation. The few European institutions in the global/Anglo R1 game are holding up for now, but it’s scary.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.
The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

Today I'm releasing probably the most important scholarly thing I've ever worked on - a report based on talking with 144 people about why they don't vote or only vote regularly, and on what needs to be done to build a democracy that can include everyone.

Je intensiver ich mich mit den 1970er Debatten der kritischen Kriminologie (u.a. Kriminologisches Journal, Kritische Justiz, später: Kritische Kriminologie in der Diskussion) auseinandersetze, desto uninteressanter wird dieses Etikett in Hinsicht auf den theoretischen Gehalt

The idea of "pull factors" has become essential for how many parties approach immigration. In their desperate attempt to respond to the radical right, they look for levers that signal agency. Imaginary pull factors are necessary for the just-do-something approach that wants to signal toughness.

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

"Pull factors" on steroids.

Eine große Zahl von Studien zeigt, dass Migrant:innen in den deutschen Medien seit den 1970er Jahren überwiegend negativ charakterisiert werden. Das hat zum einen damit zu tun, dass über sie häufig im Kontext negativer Anlässe wie z. B. Kriminalität berichtet wird, (...)
