Opinion | Lessons on Authoritarianism From Around the World Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

I know a lot of people are exhausted. And many have vowed to check out, tune out, etc.

But that's what they want--a public too exhausted to be outraged and utterly anesthetized to what is happening.

Even if you are taking a break from media, please watch this.

The Mortal Sin of Anthony Fauci Photo by Jody Rogac A reader outside of the US messaged me today and asked me to explain the Right’s incessant attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci. From his vantage point some thousands of miles away, he cou...
