Zum 2. Mal den Film 3 1/2 Stunden @… gesehen. Es geht um den Tag des Mauerbaus und einen Zug, der auf dem Weg in die DDR ist.

Spielfilm Deutschland 2021 München am 13. August 1961. Der Interzonenzug D-151 mit DDR-Bürgern als Reisegästen macht sich auf den Weg nach Ost-Berlin.

and Erdogan saying they would be more careful in the future…

Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus
A well-known podcaster has the custom of going “off the grid” for a month each summer, to gain some perspective. I can beat that: I have been retired from academic teaching and research for nearly 14 years and have rarely visited my campus during that time. But last year, I finally encountered the university first-hand, […]

The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the 6 January 2021 Capitol attack, -- calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda”.
The purge of news releases documenting criminal charges, convictions and sentencings is the latest step by the Trump administration to dramatically 💥rewrite the history of the assault on the US Capitol,
when hundreds of supporters of Donald Trump stormed t…
