Not that I needed another sign, but Timothy Snyder leaving is grim.

I assume there's some German word for this type of grim? Faschiteschmerz?

They are correct to, much like the people who fled germany in the 20s and 30s fearing persecution.

Get out while you can, academics.

"Franks wrote that he is not aware of other faculty in the philosophy department who are considering leaving the country for political reasons."

This feels like a profound loss though I can’t blame them all. I’m glad they’ll be able to continue their work unaccosted.

I’m just so sad that we could’ve avoided this nightmare, but we’ll have to live it anyway.

Well said. We’re going to see an enormous brain drain. And the fact that we, as a nation, did this to ourselves is unfathomable.

I'm sorry for your loss. The brain drain will be real. I can't imagine it being much worse but it will be.

Yale wants to boot lick so bad; no one asked but they want to surrender to fascism as quick as possible.

The fact that we are allowing a small population of this country to take the whole of us down this road is completely wrong and tragic.

No. They can teach in Canada. They no longer can in ShAmerica.

Funding is evaporating, which means they will lose their jobs & be unable to pay mortgages, etc. Work they’ve trained ~10yrs to do will be unavailable to them ´cause they’re definitely targets. And someone will need to monitor & report for history.

Pls call yr Congress person abt university funding
