The Rise of Germany's Far-Right Youth | EXCLUSIVE

Mar 21, 2025 | The return of the far right in Germany seemed impossible - until it happened. As the living memory of World War II fades, a new generation of neo-Nazis is exploiting social media to draw young people into the world of right-wing extremism.

At the 2025 German elections, the hard-right Alternative for Germany party came second - the far right's best election performance since 1945.

The AfD's emergence has sent German politics into meltdown over who could or should be called a ‘Nazi.’ While the AfD and its most famous supporter Elon Musk have been pushing the narrative that ‘past guilt’ and ‘crimes of the past’ should be consigned to history, critics argue that the party, led by Alice Weidel, is itself a threat to German democracy.

Germany is grappling with the fact that, for Generation-Z, information learned on social media platforms like X, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram determines political beliefs like never before. The stakes could not be higher for a country that has always led the way in facing up to the horror of a dark past.

"Get out Trump" - Canadian Anti-Trump Song

Feb 24, 2025 | "Get Out, Trump" is a Canadian protest song set to the melody of Bella Ciao, the iconic Italian anti-fascist anthem. The lyrics express strong opposition to Donald Trump’s influence, condemning his tariffs on Canadian goods and his suggestion that Canada could become the “51st state.” With the repeated chorus “Get out, Trump! Get out, Trump! Get out now, now, now!”, the song defiantly asserts Canada’s independence, justice, and resistance to authoritarianism. It serves as both a political statement and a rallying cry, emphasizing that Canada will stand strong and free against any external threats.

A French University Is Offering ‘Scientific Asylum’ for US Talent. The Brain Drain Has Started

THE GUARDIAN: The Trump administration is cutting funding, while specifically targeting institutions like Columbia. No wonder academics want out

In six weeks, the Trump administration’s “rapid scheduled disassembly” of American science has been as sharp and deep as its trashing of the US’s alliances and goodwill; Earth science, weather forecasting and early warning systems, medical research (including cancer research), Nasa. Academic grants more broadly have been cut, paused and subject to review for a long list of banned words (including such contentious terms as “political” and “women”).

This has caused universities across the country to reduce their intake of PhD students, medical students and other graduate students, introduce hiring freezes and even rescind some offers of admission. More than 12,500 US citizens currently in other countries on Fulbright research grants recently had their funding paused, along with 7,400 foreign scholars currently hosted in the US, leaving them financially stranded. And, when it came to one foreign academic visiting the US, detaining them and refusing them entry. » | Alexander Hurst | Monday, March 23, 2025

Smoking - Anatomy of an Addiction Industry | DW Documentary | Reupload

Dec 13, 2024 | Smoking has an image problem, because everyone knows: it can kill you. That’s why tobacco multinationals are increasingly focused on e-cigarettes, enticing consumers with bright colors and fruity flavors. The target group: young people.

The World Health Organization says smoking results in the death of eight million people every year. That’s one reason why you’ll now often hear tobacco companies promoting the switch to e-cigarettes, with claims that these are less harmful to our health. It’s first and foremost young people who believe the industry’s promises, thereby taking the first step on the road to addiction. After all, nicotine is an addictive substance. And although it may taste better than tobacco, puffing on a vape is still going to get you hooked in precisely the same way as smoking a regular cigarette. The film investigates the cynicism of an industry that not only accepts this, but also deliberately aims for it.

Anger in Greenland over Visits This Week by Usha Vance and Mike Waltz

THE GUARDIAN: Greenland’s prime minister Múte Egede says the trip by US second lady and national security adviser is a ‘provocation’

Usha Vance, the wife of US vice-president JD Vance, will travel to Greenland this week as President Donald Trump clings to the idea of a US annexation of the strategic, semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Vance will visit Greenland on Thursday with a US delegation to tour historical sites, learn about the territory’s heritage and attend the national dogsled race, the White House said in a statement.

The delegation will return to the US on 29 March. The White House national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and the energy secretary, Chris Wright, will also travel to Greenland, visiting a US military base in Greenland, a US official said. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump has made US annexation of Greenland a major talking point since taking office for a second time on 20 January and has said it will become part of the US “one way or the other”. Speaking on Sunday to the Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, said the visit by Waltz was a “provocation”. » | Guardian staff and agencies | Monday, March 24, 2025

Press Freedom in Serbia Is Facing a Dangerous Turning Point, Editors Warn

THE GUARDIAN: Group says reporters at independent outlets suffer ‘constant harassment, physical attacks and smear campaigns’

Press freedom in Serbia is facing a “dangerous turning point” after mounting pressure on independent outlets from ministers and state-backed media, a group of senior editors has warned.

The editors, who are all from publications within the independent United Media group, said their reporters faced “constant harassment, physical attacks and smear campaigns” after their reporting in the country, which has been gripped by protests against its autocratic president, Aleksandar Vučić.

Their intervention follows what appears to have been the largest anticorruption demonstration in Serbia’s history this month. The mass gathering in Belgrade marked the culmination of four months of protests against the government after the deadly collapse of a concrete train station canopy in the northern city of Novi Sad last November.

Civil society groups have been warning for months about an increasingly hostile environment for independent media since the station collapse, which killed 16 people and set in motion a political backlash against Vučić’s pro-Russia administration. » | Michael Savage, Media editor | Sunday, March 23, 2025

Two Genders? What History Tells Us about Gender & Identity

Mar 23, 2025 | Man or woman – there's nothing more! Or is there? The binary gender system has even become an election issue. Yet the idea of gender diversity isn't as new or "woke" as many assume. On the contrary, alternatives to the two-gender system have existed in many cultures around the world for centuries. Biological sex and social gender are not necessarily the same thing. Anyone who addresses this topic is treading on difficult ground.
