We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits β€” the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

How to Think, Not What to Think College is not just about transmitting knowledgeβ€”but learning and practicing the skills that connect us to one another.

Universities must teach students how to listen across lines of difference, Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock argues. Otherwise, "young people risk becoming more isolated, more easily manipulated, and less prepared to lead in a pluralistic democracy."

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

You can never appease a tyrant.

The more rights and freedoms you sacrifice to appease a tyrant, the more he will take until nothing is left...

The story is not what Kimmel said but what others won’t say now for fear of state retribution. Authoritarian countries thrive on self censorship.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

I’m a parent and I’m the daughter of a school nurse. Keeping kids healthy and safe is important to me β€” it’s important to all of us.

Families deserve the facts when they’re vaccinating their children. In Massachusetts, that’s what they’ll get.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
