ICYMI yesterday:

I wrote about Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates, the struggle to define the boundaries of what is acceptable in America – and why democratic citizens have an obligation to hold the line on what we consider beyond the pale.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

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.

Another fantastic episode, as usual, so enlightening - and funny! Loved the discussion of the German meaning of culture.

@moiradonegan.bsky.social, you mention a Hannah Arendt interview about language. Do you know where one can find it?

Diese ganzen parenting books sind hier auf jeden Fall super einflussreich, da gibts echt viele von, zu allen moeglichen Teilaspekten, und viele sind Beststeller und viele neue Eltern wissen sofort was gemeint ist, wenn ein Schlagwort/Name genannt wird

Ich kenne mich damit nicht wirklich aus, aber vielleicht findet sich was dazu in den Arbeiten von Paula S. Fass.

Wie meinst du das? Wie der Begriff "parenting" sich etabliert hat und heute verwendet wird? Oder welche Parenting-Konzepte sich etabliert haben, und wie sie die Ansichten über "gutes" und "schlechtes" Parenting beeinflussen?

Interesting. Never heard of that. There is a part of playground that is called „sand box“, „Sandkasten“, and it’s stilled called that today. But never heard of „Sandgarten“

Das Kassandra-Syndrom live und in Action: Frau wird als alarmistisch abgestempelt, ihr Expertise angezweifelt und dann, wenn sich rausstellt, she was right all along, kommen andere und sagen "was ist".

Vor 4 Jahren erschien übrigens mein Buch, „Amerikas Gotteskrieger“. Was gab es damals Empörung wegen des Titels (und Inhalts) - die Warnung vor christlichem Nationalismus & Theokratie (noch dazu von einer jungen Frau!) wurde als hysterisch abgetan. Jetzt titelt der Spiegel genau das: „Gotteskrieger“

Und nein, soweit ich sehe kein Zitat, kein Verweis, keine Anfrage. Versteht mich nicht falsch - ich bin froh, dass das Thema endlich in etablierten Medien wahrgenommen wird. Es ist trotzdem frustrierend, als Expertin seit Jahren davor zu warnen, und jetzt entdecken es alle - ohne Credit.

ICYMI yesterday: I need your help

I re-launched my newsletter at a new platform called “Steady” – and most importantly, I officially started my new life as a full-time independent writer.

I am extremely excited this moment has finally come. And I am utterly terrified.

Onward. Forward. Steady.

Things have really changed. Now I need your help.

Todd Wolfson has taken heat for some of the organization’s political stances during his tenure. Here’s what he makes of the criticism.

That was the worst presidential press conference on public health since the last time Trump did a press conference on public health.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over.

Congratulations, America.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

You have no idea how much I despite these anti-science dipshits for making pregnant women terrified of taking (safe, mild, proven) pain relief.
