The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.

Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.

Re-reading this chapter now (I haven't since we submitted the corrections!) I do feel quite proud of it and hope colleagues working in popular culture will consider citing it. If your institution doesn't have access let me know! #Barbie
Both Ken and the Trump of the 2016 Presidential election campaign can be seen as absurd figures on the fringes of the political community, united as much by their distinctive hair and tans as by their line in garbled non-sequiturs. Just as serious political commentators dismissed Trump when he first ran for office, the Barbie film tells us repeatedly ‘we’re never worried about Ken’. But much like Trump, who successfully moved from the margin of politics to the highest office of the US state in both 2016 and 2024, Ken is not a misunderstood and ultimately unthreatening buffoon. In Barbie, Ken becomes an active, and eventually actively malevolent, political agent extending significant influence over his own community of ‘deplorables’.

Elmar Theveßen ein „Linksradikaler“? 😂Wenn das alles nicht so traurig und gefährlich wäre, könnte man darüber lachen. Ich empfehle natürlich die aktuellen Podcast des heute-journals und des Auslandsjournals mit ihm.

Wegen dieser Einordnung des ZDF-Moderators Elmar Theveßen aus Washington fordert der ehemalige US-Botschafter in Deutschland ihm sein Visum für die USA zu entziehen.

Es passt alles zur extremen Kampagne aus dem MAGA- & Kirk-Lager.

In 2011 „Occupy DC“ startet as a local branch of the 99% movement. Fourteen years later, Trump orders a military-style occupation of the nation’s capital to advance a 21st-century version of US fascism. Why does history have to be so weird?
