Check out our new IZA DP! We show that Germans move across regions more often than many realize - especially around important educational decisions and early in their careers. However, we find no causal link between education and regional mobility👇

Der absolut beste Kommentar, den ich bisher zur Einstufung der AfD gehört oder gelesen habe. In den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen trauen sich das nicht viele - eine absolute Seltenheit und deswegen umso beachtlicher.

Kommentar: AfD-Einstufung setzt politischen Gegner unter Druck

Der Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD als rechtsextremistisch, weil sie völkisch und rassistisch ist. Die Antwort ist die Verteidigung einer offenen Gesellschaft.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · Jan 27

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
