Freedom of speech cannot be taken for granted these days with the threats for the extreme right. At Bebel platz nazis burned books in 1933. Thank you to Humboldt University of Berlin for inviting me to talk about youth transitions to employment.

Shades of McCarthyism. Employees told to tell on their colleagues. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Federal employees are told to name colleagues who work in DEI roles or risk 'adverse consequences'
Emails sent to government workers at numerous agencies gave employees 10 days to report if a colleague's job relates to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
