Good. Florida voted for the fascist regime, now they are reaping their deserved rewards.

Trump's Biggest "Fuck You" Yet to Higher Education and the Rest of the World He and his regime are mounting an assault on the American mind. Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. β€œWe’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. β€œAnd what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Two criminals make a deal. Later, one of them miscalculates and turns on the other. After 4 years of war, one criminal is defeated and kills himself, while the other one gets to keep his loot and enslave several European countries for four decades. Russia deserves to celebrate NOTHING on May 9th.

The fact the the imposter in a Pope outfit has not been struck down by God yet can have one of three explanations: (1) God does not exist; (2) God is not Catholic; (3) God prefers to enjoy her revenge cold. My hunch is (1).

The US government is complicit in this crime. In my dreams I would want to see the leader of the fascist regime in The Hague, together with his friend from Moscow. I know it won't happen, unfortunately.

Riga April 2025 - Nathan Wajsman A couple of days in Latvia's capital city, a beautiful old town, part of the medieval Hanseatic League. An involuntary part of the Soviet Union until 1991, today a proud capital of a free country.

I visited Riga this week. Every time I visit a capital of one of the countries that were liberated in 1990-1991, I am amazed by the progress achieved since then. Back then they were drab and grey. Today they are beautiful and vibrant: www.greatpix.eu/Travel/Riga-...

Lithuania will need to strengthen fiscal sustainability, tackle labour shortages and foster productivity to address ageing challenges Lithuania has achieved rapid convergence towards OECD living standards over the past 30 years.

I continue to be amazed by the progress made in the former Communist country since liberation in 1990. Take Lithuania: 30 years ago its GDP per capita was 30% of the OECD average. Now it is at 88%. www.oecd.org/en/about/new...

If Trump can disappear them, he can disappear you. With no court to verify anything the Trump regime alleges, you could be arrested and sent to a prison in El Salvador for having views the regime dislikes

Road to the VRA:

60 years ago today, the march from Selma to Montgomery begins, with an estimated 3200 marching the first day.

They are protected by federal troops activated by LBJ after Gov. George Wallace says the state lacks the money to provide protection.

After World War II, relations with Germany were normalized too. But only after the Nazi regime was removed. This analogy should apply to Russia as well. Yes, one day relations should be normalized. But not before the Putin regime is gone and Russia is a normal country.

In loving memory of my very dear 6-foot-7-inch Republican senator friend In memory of Alan Simpson, who died this morning

Once upon a time, civilized Republicans existed. Sadly, now they are all either retired or dead. An example: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

After the latest statements about Greenland from the fascist regime in Washington, Denmark should close the US consulate in Nuuk.

These are mostly Republican-voting states, so it's fine. The people they voted for are keeping their promises.
