Why did antisemitism rise in Germany during the Covid pandemic? And why was this increase concentrated among political centrists, rather than on the fringes?

It’s shocking to me the lack of response from the American population (elite & non-elite) to the craziness of the current administration. Protests against ICE are good, but at the same time Americans seem to be brushing off the imperial craziness of the regime and barely any public opposition.

It was never about free speech.
It was always about protecting whiteness and its discursive power. If it were about speech, they wouldn’t ban the 1619 Project, books, and history itself, or punish those who remind us of the bigotry Charlie Kirk proudly espoused.

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.
