In light of Germany's recent discussions on our Erinnerungskultur, this resource is so important. It reminded me of how abstract and how concrete it is to keep the memory alive and use it with purpose, for a better future.

As one of the last ones being able to talk in person to my grandparents, the generation of the war, and as one who had actively asked for their memories, I feel drawn back to my teenage years and I wish I could talk to them more.

The online portal to the records held at the National Archives, and information about those records.

This is a mindblowing data source that allows you to search your family's history of NSDAP membership with a few clicks. I was not prepared for the feelings it triggered-but I appreciate the conversations I had and that I will have in the aftermath of my search catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

I cannot seem to find the workshop page to share - can you share a link too? thanks!

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Thanks for the clear words from the NYT

A new paper by George Borjas—who served this past year in the Trump White House designing some of its anti-immigration policies—claims to display evidence of ideological bias among researchers who study immigration.

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation (Forthcoming Article) - Why is workplace sexual harassment chronically underreported? We hypothesize that employers coerce victims into silence through the threat of a retaliatory firing. To test this, we estimate how two external shocks which reduce workers’ outside options—unemployment rate increases and sharp cuts to unemployment insurance benefits—affect the selectivity of sexual harassment charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We find that both shocks increase selectivity, which implies an increase in underreporting. Bolstering these findings, anonymous Google searches for “sexual harassment in the workplace” (total prevalence) spike relative to charges filed (reported prevalence) during the Great Recession.

Just a few years ago the economics profession completely marginalized @claudia-sahm.bsky.social for speaking out on this matter.

While binging the Pitt, I explained my teenager that Clooney was on ER. His reaction kind of ruined my happy reunion with John Carter…

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Extending what is happening in the federal government into higher ed: faculty being purged because they are disfavored by the new regime

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

Ich dachte schon grundsätzliche Updates könnten Familienbild (Kinderbetreuung, Steuerpolitik, usw) betreffen. Aber da ist ja alles supi in Deutschland....

Meine Eltern sollten kommen. Vater schaut dann zufällig wenige Wochen vor der Reise nochmal in der App. Wir tauschen dann Tickets via storno und bezahlen am Ende viel weniger. Ich hab dann nachher auch nochmal für ne andre Reise geschaut. Da hætte ich auch eur gespart wenn ich spæter gekauft hætte?!

Noch krasser: ich buche Tickets früh weil billig und so und finde sie dann zum halben Preis wenige Wochen vor der Abreise. Selber Zug. Selbe Verbindung. 🤯

Putin is an authoritarian who won his last election with 87% of the vote and murdered his main political rival.
