Exercising academic freedom is paramount for truth seeking. Yale Professors Marci Shore (History), Timothy Snyder (History), and Jason Stanley (Philosophy) contextualize where our nation is really at now and why they are leaving the U.S. "There is no such thing as a ship that can't sink."

Thanks for posting this, Duncan @asls.org.uk.

Thank you. The original presentation at an MLA Convention was accompanied by 72 slides. The call for papers for the panel was — without invoking bagpipes or kilts — what is Scotland's national fetish.

Thanks for your willingness to make it easier to follow! 🙏🏼👏🏼

What Trump Has Got Wrong—and Right—About the War in Ukraine; Plus, How Bob Menendez Came By His Gold Bars | The New Yorker Radio Hour | WNYC Studios The Russia scholar Stephen Kotkin looks at America’s turning point in supporting Ukraine. Plus, how the former senator got the gold bars that sent him to prison.

I found today's episode of *The New Yorker* Radio Hour podcast that just aired today helpful historical context; perhaps you will, too. *The New Yorker* Editor David Remnick interviews Russia scholar and historian Stephen Kotkin (Hoover Institute) about America’s turning point in supporting Ukraine.

Democracy Is Done: The Rise of Corporate Monarchy The Real Agenda Behind Elon's Coup & Trump's Chaotic First 3 Weeks

Compelling, if not utterly disturbing, reading.

TLDR: Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Curtis Yarvin, and J.D. Vance have been planning this government take over for years.

In our own Time of Troubles it becomes too easy to lose sight that:

Spot on. 👍 Such a dearth of cultural and/or historical memory. I just posted Woody's song as a reminder of where we're at, once again, alas. Looking forward to learning more from you on Politicology.

Newly-nominated F.B.I. Director Kash Patel published this list of 60 "cabal of tyrants” and “the most dangerous threat to our democracy” in his 2023 *Government Gangsters* book. Make no mistake: it's a "deep state" hit-list to satisfy a petulant "President."

I mean, in his first term he had that closed-door meeting with Putin for over an hour with no aides or translator of his own, and who knows what the hell they agreed on in his recent 90-minute phone with the (former?) KGB Agent Putin.

Every fed employee should have a copy of the Joshua Fisher declaration on their desk

I find it ironic and hypocritical that the now Republican-led DOJ — most of whom are staunch 2nd Amendment supporters — would bristle at the use of the phrase of "actual weapons" within the metaphor of a "bar fight." Let's call this letter what it is: rhetorical legerdemain for censorship.

GO AOC! 👍🏼💪🏼

Go ahead.

Let the people see you for what you are.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Well put.

A rare moment of honesty from Trump’s lawyer

Seems accurate, alas.

Donald Trump’s Orbán Playbook Is Working Exactly as Intended The events of the past two weeks are unimaginable to most Americans.
