Just a quick re-introduction for new followers: I’m a German historian who writes about antisemitism from a comparative and global perspective. My most recent book provides a new look at anti-Jewish prejudice in Germany and the United States from the late 19th to the mid 20th century.

The Führer thinks ICE isn’t being tough enough.
Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

The most powerful man in science who knows absolutely nothing about science but thinks he knows everything.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

You gotta keep the devil

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.
