Germany in spring: a witch hunt reminiscent of the late 1960s/1970s when anyone critical of the German government and its foreign policy (war in Vietnam) was immediately called 'RAF-sympathizer.' Now it's getting worse: university professors are called 'perpetrators' ('täter').

BREAKING: Yanis Varoufakis sues the German state.

Excited to be coming to Hamburg next week for the 'School of Survival' and join Georg Diez for a discussion on the meaning of education today and why mere survival is not enough. Full program here: schoolofsurvival.de

Finally watched this masterpiece by Christian Petzold, at the same time deconstructing and celebrating desire, love & freedom in the end of times. Probably the best German summer movie ever (since the genre was destroyed by Hitler back in 1933)

When you think nothing can get worse than today's Germany and its silencing of any kind of support for Palestine, there is the United States. All power to the students!

We’ve got to imagine and build different futures, no matter how many skies have fallen. Save the date for ISSA and our unique annual event happening this year in early October on the Adriatic island of Vis. More info soon: issa-school.org

Thank you volcano for saving a forgotten chapter of the history of philosophy and for revealing that even at his death bed Plato couldn't stop complaining theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

A revolution is not a dinner party, but sometimes it's essential to have a glass of wine with a good comrade. What a great day with Tariq Ali in Ljubljana.

black pill prescriber Many good essays in this one, edited by Srećko Horvat. The title says “after” Yugoslavia, but it’s actually as much about “during” as after.

All my solidarity with the brilliant Jodi Dean

Read this twice

Germany did what they always wanted to do, at least since the OXI referendum. They banned Yanis Varoufakis from any - including virtual (!) - political activity in Germany. His crime? Palestine.

Germany arresting Jews again and silencing support for Palestine. Quo vadis, Europe?
