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.

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.”

Russian. Asset.

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

This is a real life example of a small business getting f*cked by Trump Tariffs

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Miller is a lunatic.

Energy Abundance Alone Won't Fix the Climate Energy abundance isn't a climate strategy—it delays clean energy progress, harms global cooperation, and repeats past policy mistakes.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite.

My full interview here:

Now that would be a great visual to have!

Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

I’m seeing the words “treason,” “treasonous,” and “impeachment” showing up in my feed this evening more than ever before… gives me some modicum of hope.

Embarrassing. Stunningly so.

you’ve never seen a public beating by the american president of a wartime ally like this before.

as stunning as the vance munich speech, but this time directly by the us president.

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023.

Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

National Strike time?
