„Fast alle meldeten sie sich zu Wort nach den denkwürdigen Abstimmungen mit einer in Teilen als gesichert rechtsextrem geltenden Partei im Deutschen Bundestag“, nur nicht die Wissenschaft — so Wormer in diesem lesenswerten Beitrag.

Wissenschaft, Du musst ENDLICH lauter werden!

Das Schweigen der fünften Gewalt: Wo bleibt die Stimme der Wissenschaft?
Die Wissenschaft muss sich mehr in die öffentliche Diskussion um demokratische Grundwerte einmischen. Ungefragt und über Lippenbekenntnisse hinaus, sagt unser Gastautor.

Yes, there’s books. Thanks @naomiaklein.bsky.social for this list of resistance, solidarity and hope!
My friends, 2025 is going to be rocky. But one thing I know for sure is that some incredible people put a huge amount of care, craft, love and rage into writing books that will soon be published that are going to help us make sense of this broken and beautiful world.
