What we need to do is declare a "climate emergency"--the solutions (well, by now only mitigations are possible) has long been clear (think Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth): https://t.co/0wJAcGOQmB

How much evidence of catastrophic climate change do "we" need before we REALLY take it seriously?

In the past 4 years alone, each city has experienced it's worst day of wildfire smoke in recorded history.

The Earth is on fire. Our negligence is killing our planet. We must change our ways.

Miep Gies was 33 when she helped her employers hide the Frank family. Perspective shift from victim to upstander. https://t.co/mpm5Bz1jrb

A good, short summary of the history of the #Dachau concentration camp, 90 years after it opened in 1933. https://t.co/XUIvj76jrS

Burlison: “You know, there’s a famous quote about what happened during the Holocaust, when individuals ― when the Nazis first came for some, and people said nothing, and then eventually they’ll come for you. I say this not as a Republican or a Missourian, but as a concerned ...”

UCSB had a big turnout at the undergraduate rally in support of our section of the UC-wide TA & Postdoc strike beginning today, for fair bargaining to get a new contract paying a living salary. Lots of faculty showed up too. (COLA: Cost of Living Adjustment)

Der von mir edierte Band der "Münchner Beiträge zur Jüdischen Geschichte und Kultur" zum Thema "Die Frankfurter Schule und der Holocaust" wird Ende Oktober erscheinen. Hier schon mal die Inhaltsangabe als Teaser:

Right wing memers kill me--Does he want to advertise his hatred of Jews, denial of the Holocaust, or maybe he'd like to go to summer camp there? "Work brings Freedom"--Does he want to work there? I wonder what he was taught in his school history classes. https://t.co/Nqg8Y1wzMM

The oldest synagoge in NW Germany (from 1633) needs to be repaired, but is owned by a right-wing lawyer who wants to tear it down (in German). In the 1990s it was deemed historically valuable as a "garden house." https://t.co/lhi6udT1ga

Memories of a broadcaster at the 1972 Munich Olympics, 50 years after he visited the Dachau memorial site. What aspects of the museum stick? https://t.co/F7qZIjp3Xu

Bikes replacing cars after a century of building infrastructure exclusively for cars--is historic. Just has to continue...

10 invited submissions for a Holocaust Memorial in London (spoiler: first one [G.Porter+Bowman] won): clearly creating experiential memorial spaces is the order of the day (since 1960s) https://t.co/F0L96ZT9K3

VW's Zwickau factory, in a coal-bearing region and before 1990 the producer of East German Trabis, is converting to EV (electric vehicle) only production. Rather historic I think. https://t.co/0zHr5OYVYB

@UCPrezDrake I see your lecturer contract negotiators have stopped gaslighting and are FINALLY explaining the reasons behind specific provisions in your offer. Now time for UC to stop being arrogant, selfish and cheap, and treat our valued colleagues with respect as human beings.
