RT by @sabinedoering: The desperation is obvious. The mullahs' regime has not collapsed, attacks on the Gulf states continue, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Attacks on civilian infrastructure - modeled on #Putin/s i.d. Ukraine - are, by the way, a war crime

RT von @sabinedoering: Beeindruckend. Lesen Sie das Ganze. 👇

RT by @sabinedoering: "The pressure must be increased." - Omid @nouripour calls on the federal government to fight more strongly against structures of the Iranian regime in Germany and to support the Iranian opposition more intensively. https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article69bc11d6522507b1b00606b0/omid-nouripour-im-iran-selbst-sagen-immer-mehr-leute-hoert-auf-damit.html

RT by @sabinedoering: #OTD Walter #Eucken died on March 20, 1950 in London during a lecture tour at the @LSEnews. Few German economists have had such a lasting impact on the 20th century as Eucken did with his order thinking. @EuckenInstitut @LEFoundation

RT by @sabinedoering: Lars Feld: An important plea for sound public finances (by Alexander Armbruster) https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/lars-feld-knoepft-sich-die-sondermoegen-vor-ein-besseres-plaedoyer-fuer-solide-staatsfinanzen-accg-200649769.html

This right before the election in Rhineland-Palatinate has a flavor. And doesn’t speak to an interest in defining distinctions like “liberal” vs. “libertarian.”

We need a liberal party.

So science is damaging democracy? In addition, scientific expertise is confused with opinion: “Refuted by the media”…

RT by @sabinedoering: Gerd Faltings, Bonn. He was the first German to receive the Fields Medal in 1986, and now 40 years later he is the first German to receive the Abel Prize. What a lifetime achievement!

Harriet Taylor Mill gilt nun offiziell als Co-Autorin von „On Liberty“. Keine revisionistische Übergriffigkeit, sondern eine längst überfällige Anerkennung dessen, was John Stuart Mill selbst anerkannt hat. Eine stille Korrektur des Kanons – und der Geschichte der Philosophie. https://dailynous.com/2026/03/19/on-liberty-now-officially-has-two-authors/

New headline! In the context of the announcement text, it should now be clear that our concern is an understanding of academic freedom that defends it against right-wing populism and behind which all democratic forces can unite. https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/de/veranstaltungen/zwischen-trumpismus-und-cancel-culture-forschungsfreiheit-unter-druck

RT von @sabinedoering: Heute hat das Regime im Iran mitten im Krieg einen 19-jährigen nationalen Wrestling-Champion hingerichtet, weil er sich den Protesten im Januar angeschlossen hatte. 💔 Nachdem das Regime der Welt, einschließlich Präsident @realDonaldTrump, signalisiert hatte, dass es die Hinrichtungen von Demonstranten stoppen würde, hat es genau das Gegenteil getan. Drei junge Demonstranten, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi und Saeed Davoudi, wurden nach einem Scheinprozess in Qom gehängt. Berichte deuten auf Folter hin. Erzwungene Geständnisse. Kein Zugang zu ausgewählten Anwälten. Verfahren unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit. Kein Recht auf Berufung. Ich rufe @GlobalAthleteHQ auf, an der Seite iranischer Sportler zu stehen, die zum Schweigen gebracht, eingesperrt und hingerichtet werden, nur weil sie ihre Stimme erhoben haben. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Sport. Hier geht es um die Menschenwürde.

RT by @sabinedoering: Yes, we need to talk about the use of the loans from the #special fund. And yes, capital spending in the core budget must be higher. But the whole thing is just a symptom of a deeper problem. And that doesn't mean #misappropriation, but budget size and budget structure:

RT by @sabinedoering: These are hopes for the future, but should not distract from the fact that 95 percent have so far been misused. But in fact, we are only at the beginning, there is still the possibility of course correction.

RT by @sabinedoering: With this in the features section of the F.A.Z. Published article Jürgen Habermas suddenly became known in 1953 while still a student. We are republishing the text from that time here. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/buecher/autoren/habermas-1953-in-der-faz-mit-heidegger-gegen-heidegger-denken-200642929.html

“What is crucial for Germany is that the money from the federal government’s 500 billion euro program must be used for investments that strengthen growth.”

Consequences? (In retrospect, the traffic light's fiscal policy wasn't so bad after all.)

RT by @sabinedoering: Germany is plunging into debt, numerous billions are to flow into infrastructure and defense. But is the money always well spent? In an interview with @tonline, @Lars_Feld expresses massive doubts. https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/deutschland/innenpolitik/id_101152380/deutschland-wirtschaft-und-reformstau-das-raecht-sich-nun-.html

RT by @sabinedoering: What a surprise: The "debate magazine" run by Wolfram #Weimer, which printed politicians' speeches as "guest contributions" without being asked, buys a survey to help its boss.

RT by @sabinedoering: The USA has no longer provided its own arms aid to Ukraine since the end of January 2025. Trump has also suspended existing aid twice. The USA no longer negotiates with Putin as part of the West but sees itself as a mediator between Europe and Russia.

Ms. Baerbock was always a total failure for Iranians - especially the former. Basically for competent women like Helga Schmid.

Should you advise on the moral alignment of AI? Yes, despite all the skepticism, just out of curiosity - the mother of science. One of the most exciting fields between philosophy and AI.

Just love how Rainer Forst, completely unmoved, opens up the debate about two competing views on the “equal origin” of fundamental rights and democracy – only to then say: “That has gone too far.”

"It seemed to me... that a deontological theory based on Kant must be able to justify respect for the autonomous others who are fundamentally equal to me in a "free-standing" way and cannot be dependent on an ethics of the good for this." To the point! 👍🏻 https://www.fr.de/kultur/gesellschaft/philosoph-rainer-forst-ueber-die-theorie-und-die-effekt-von-juergen-habermas-94220951.html

RT von @sabinedoering: Die Familien iranischer Fußballspielerinnen werden vermisst. „Ich weiß, dass sogar Familien festgenommen wurden … Wir wissen mit Sicherheit, dass sie nicht in Sicherheit sein werden.“ Und den Spielern, die Asylanträge zurückgezogen haben, droht wahrscheinlich die Todesstrafe. Möchten Sie einen Kommentar abgeben, Javier Bardem?

"Anyone who now believes that this sounds like the crisis management of Wolfram Weimer, who is highly experienced in crisis management, needs to be careful. Because, according to his own statements, he has nothing to do with the organization of the Tegernsee Summit in 2026." https://www.faz.net/200631531?premium=0x61a969d8b649f024d9cfb40095bd372517d91a420553403c24df8e2ca81e3481

This event is part of a conference on academic freedom that @hmheinig & I are organizing from May 27th to 29th. Included are, among others, Klaus Ferdinand Gärditz, @TimHenningJGU, Ilyas Saliba, Geert Keil, @RosefeldtTobias, Peter Strohschneider. Stay tuned.

RT by @sabinedoering: Trump underestimated the consequences of the war against Iran and now wants to socialize the costs of military action in the Strait of Hormuz. Our reflex is: “No,” but we are interested in free oil trade and in a good relationship with the USA.
