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.”

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

Shame.
