Cornell has agreed to accept the Trump administration's interpretation of civil rights laws and will use a DOJ memo on the topic as a training resource for staff.
The university must also provide anonymized admissions data and continue campus climate surveys

Gemeinsam mit @nschniederjann.bsky.social und @sebfriedrich.bsky.social habe ich analysiert, warum sich die AfD ein ökonomisches Programm gibt, das die Wirtschaft schrumpft und Arbeiter ärmer macht. Spoiler: das ist kein Versehen.

Warum die AfD uns alle ärmer machen will
Das Programm der AfD würde Deutschland an den Abgrund führen – das ist kein Versehen, sondern Teil ihrer Strategie

My latest from @hyperallergic.com is on Trump’s proposed triumphal arch—& why looking at the structure’s history symbolizing imperialism & subjugation + its reception (Napoleon, Hitler) is important. NB: the ecclesiastical architectural firm pitching this structure. hyperallergic.com/1050375/the-...
The Arch of Trump’s Triumph and Downfall
Triumphal arches have been used for imperialistic ends since Roman antiquity, and the president’s latest proposal is no exception.

Ich bin sprachlos: ein "Mahnmal für die Opfer kommunistischer Gewaltherrschaft"? Was an der DDR war kommunistisch? Sie war ja noch nicht einmal sozialistisch, sondern einfach nur eine rot lackierte Diktatur. Und die SPD macht bei dieser antilinken Geschichtsklitterung mit? Unfassbar.
Gedenken - Bundestag dringt auf Kommunismus-Mahnmal
Der Bundestag hat die Regierung aufgefordert, das Mahnmal für die Opfer des Kommunismus noch in dieser Wahlperiode zu realisieren, also bis Anfang 2029.
