Orwellian levels of political interference in academic affairs: Under pressure from right-wing press and the Minister of Education the prestigious Collège de France cancels the conference ‘Palestine and Europe’ - in the name of academic freedom and neutrality … read this statement by the organizers:
"En cédant à la pression du ministre, Philippe Baptiste, l’administrateur du Collège de France compromet l’indépendance d’une institution fondée il y a plus de quatre siècles, qui a accueilli les plus grands noms de la pensée française, de Foucault à Bourdieu.

Meint ihr, die DSA & die Mamdani-Kampagne haben einen Plan, eine Strategie, wie die Versprechen, die zurecht so viel Hoffnung machen & Erwartungen wecken, auch gegen Widerstand & ein feindliches Umfeld (allein das NYPD ist so groß wie die Armeen anderer Nationalstaaten) durchgesetzt werden können?

Es ist kein Wunder, dass offenbar vor allem FDP-Abgeordnete das Projekt vorantrieben, dass von Wissenschaftler*innen als "nicht förderungswürdig" bewertet wurde: Mansour half der FDP u.a. 2023 im Wahlkampf und trat in mehreren FDP-Werbeformaten auf.
Das #Forschungsministerium fördert seit Juli 2025 ein Projekt gegen #Antisemitismus an Schulen – geleitet vom #Islamismus-Experten Ahmad Mansour. CORRECTIV liegen Unterlagen vor, die auf die Verletzung von wissenschaftlichen Standards hindeuten.

Eine der bizarrsten Interviewführungen, die ich als Medienkritikerin seit langem in einem journalistischen Medium gesehen habe.
Die Fragetechnik der ZEIT untergräbt durchgängig journalistische Mindeststandards und lässt sich von Fakten nicht beeindrucken.

“ZEIT: Was sagt das über die TU aus, dass Sie einen ganzen Stab an Diskriminierungsbeauftragten benötigen? Eigentlich sollte die Universität doch ein Ort sein, wo Herabsetzungen tabu sind und man zivil miteinander umgeht.” Diese Frage ist - wie das ganze Interview - so dermaßen polemisch

Today, David Abraham examines how various fractions of capital—both in our time and during Weimar Germany—chose to abandon democracy in favor of an uncertain future.
Capitalism and Democracy: Always, Weimar, and Now
In the current moment, it is not a crisis of capitalism that challenges democracy, but its triumph. For this reason, our political-economic situation is quite different from that of Weimar Germany…
