It may seem odd that the AfD has both former Stasi officers and ex(?)neo-Nazis in its ranks of elected officials, but what brings these people together is their hatred of the liberal democratic constitutional and social order that came out of 1989.

FIFA has prohibited Haitian World Cup jerseys with a depiction of the Nov. 18, 1803, Bataille de Vertières aka the triumph of the Haitian Revolution against slavery. Depraved. amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Though Saeta and FIFA have not said publicly said what design element in the men’s official World Cup soccer kits prompted FIFA’s, a source told the Miami Herald that it’s the illustration of the Nov. 18, 1803, Bataille de Vertières with the Haitian flag embedded on the jerseys, which the team wore during their two warmup matches in South Florida last week.

The German Democratic Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Cold War State made the History Today Books of the Year 2025 list! www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

$‘An exploration of issues relevant to anyone interested in the practice of history’ George Bodie Lecturer in History at Goldsmiths, University of London I’d go for three books which, in very different ways, have made huge contributions to the discipline. The first is Ned Richardson-Little’s The German Democratic Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Cold War State (Bloomsbury). At a time of increasingly fractious debate around the legacy of the GDR, Richardson-Little provides a concise and authoritative account of its history, rising above the culture wars that have engulfed the topic. If Richardson-Little’s book demonstrates the historian’s ability to intervene calmly in divisive debates, my next choice does quite the opposite.$
