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. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

That is in fact what this administration has done.

In 1947 in Everson v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court held that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment applies to state and local governments. All nine justices believed that the Establishment Clause was meant to create a wall that separates church and state.

Not our current SCOTUS.

Does the public have any recourse? Can we sue Russell Voight?

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM.

They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone.

Trump's tariff war could reduce the supply of Christmas toys. But deporting children could reduce the demand.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

People don't watch or read news. Unfortunately.

Exactly!!!

Sarah Palin just lost her defamation case against the New York Times again.

WH tweet annotating a NYT headline to insert the claim that Abrego Garcia is never coming back.

WH sharing story with AG Bondi saying Abrego Garcia is never coming back

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

rfk jr wants you dead

Stephen Miller, a white nationalist and racist, is the mastermind behind all this anti-immigrant cruelty and he's found the perfect vessel in Donald Trump, another racist, who seems mostly checked out during his second Administration. But, he's golfing on your tax payer dollar.
