The New York Times recently published a video op-ed by a group of Yale University professors who say they're leaving the U.S. for jobs at the University of Toronto in the wake of President Donald Trump's return to the White House. While their decisions are all complex and personal, the three professors — Marci Shore; her husband, Timothy Snyder; and their colleague, Jason Stanley — all study authoritarianism, and all warn the U.S. isn't immune from the democratic backsliding seen elsewhere and throughout history. Professor Shore, an expert on the history of authoritarianism in Central and Eastern Europe, joins us to talk about how she and her family came to the decision they did.And in headlines: Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the Supreme Court blocked the White House from reviving deportations using a rarely used war-time law, and the Israeli military said its forces had started “extensive ground operations” in Gaza.Show Notes:Watch the NYTimes Video - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/opinion/yale-canada-fascism.htmlSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Tribune de Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder et Jason Stanley dans le New York Times. Tous sont professeurs dans la célèbre université de Yale, membre de l'Ivy League, les plus prestigieuses facs américaines et tous démissionnent pour rejoindre l'Université de Toronto au Canada. Pour l'un, il s'agit de protester contre les atteintes aux libertés de l'administration Trump. Marci Shore, elle, dénonce une « régression brutale de la démocratie américaine » en prenant un exemple très parlant : « Nous sommes comme les passagers du Titanic qui affirment que notre navire ne peut pas couler », « Or, en tant qu'historien, vous savez qu'il n'existe pas de navire indestructible ».Enfin, son époux, Timothy Snyder, lui, estime qu'à Toronto, il pourra enseigner dans une université qui peut « accueillir des discussions sur la liberté ».En bref, nous rapporte le New York Times, si les motivations des trois universitaires diffèrent, tous sont d'accord sur un point : « ignorer ou minimiser les attaques contre l'État de droit est un danger pour la démocratie ».  Netflix peut-il avoir un impact sur les décisions de justice ?Question que pose un éditorial, ce matin, dans le Guardian qui s'intéresse au cas des frères Menendez. Erik et Lyle, condamnés pour avoir tué leurs parents en 1989 et qui ont fait l'objet d'une série à succès sur la plateforme de streaming l'année dernière. Les spectateurs se sont pris d'affection pour les deux hommes. Si bien qu'après 35 ans passés derrière les barreaux, et une condamnation à la prison à vie, un juge a réduit, mardi, leur peine, les rendant éligibles à une libération conditionnelle estimant qu'ils « ont suffisamment fait ces 35 dernières années » pour mériter leur chance de liberté.Pour le Guardian, « il faut une humilité astronomique à la justice pour reconsidérer ses verdicts sur la base de ce qui est, par essence, du divertissement ».En parlant d'écrans, Vogue s'intéresse au Festival de Cannes…Non pas aux films qui y sont présentés, mais aux nouvelles règles vestimentaires imposées aux stars sur le tapis rouge. Le code a changé, lundi, à la veille de l'ouverture du Festival : finie la nudité, les robes aux traines imposantes…Le problème, c'est que les stylistes travaillaient depuis des mois sur les tenues qu'allaient porter les acteurs, les réalisateurs et ont été pris de court : « beaucoup sont vraiment paniqués » confie un critique culturel.D'autres regrettent ce choix : « Cannes est l'un des tapis rouges les plus glamour et les plus excitants, et j'ai toujours adoré voir les robes extravagantes et les pièces haute couture qui ornent les marches du Palais ». Un acteur du monde de la mode, lui s'interroge : « Il faudrait des mesures pour déterminer ce qui est trop long ou trop volumineux dans une robe. Et concernant la nudité, est-ce à la discrétion de chaque invité sur le tapis rouge ? Y aura-t-il des règles précises ? » pour l'instant, tout cela reste flou !On reste dans l'univers artistique avec l'Eurovision…« La géopolitique sous une pluie de paillettes », c'est comme ça que Libération définit le concours de chant. Le journal français s'entretient avec Thomas Duseaux, créateur d'un podcast sur l'Eurovision qui selon lui, se « déringardise » depuis plusieurs années et estime que le concours « est un succès parce qu'il rend les gens heureux ».Le producteur donne aussi la recette pour le remporter : quand « on est devant sa télé et qu'on voit défiler pendant une heure du boum boum, si une chanson calme apporte une respiration, c'est souvent l'émotion qui déclenche les votes » mais « quand de nombreux candidats se disent que c'est l'intimiste qui marche, le public zappe et c'est une proposition pétaradante qui va emporter le morceau ».Alors chanson en piano-voix ou effets spéciaux bluffants cette année ? Quel pays remportera la 69e édition de l'Eurovision ? Réponse samedi soir.

Cult influence can be found everywhere online, including the political sphere we see when we scroll on social media. Understanding how authoritarian control operates is critical in preserving our autonomy and individuality. In this new episode of The Influence Continuum, I talk with Dr. Stephen Kent, professor emeritus of sociology, who taught courses on alternative and sectarian religions. His research concentrates on issues related to harm caused by groups to individuals and society. It would be a mistake to call sounding the alarms reactionary. Yale scholars like Jason Stanley, Timothy Snyder, and Marci Shore, experts on fascism and propaganda, have left Yale to teach at the University of Toronto in Canada. They cite the rise of authoritarian structures in the United States as their reason for doing so. Our conversation draws lines between our collective decades of research into high-control groups and today's authoritarian movements, disinformation wars, and the dangerous erosion of democratic norms. While these subjects once felt primarily like niche academic work, terms like “cults” and “authoritarian control” have become central to understanding our political world.

After being sworn in as the 47th president, President Donald Trump quickly altered American government – and political discourse. He issued a slew of executive orders that affected how American government functions and he spoke about officers of the government, federal agencies, executive power, the press, the Constitution, and the rule of law in ways that surprised citizens, journalists, and many scholars. Postscript has devoted three podcasts to how professional historians have assessed Trump's actions. Today, we look at how political scientists understand the second Trump presidency and how they have organized to amplify their concerns. Over 1200 trained political scientists signed a statement that lays out alarming changes to American government – and today's podcast features the incoming president of the American Political Science Association, Dr. Susan Stokes, to discuss the statement and what it means for so many political scientists to sign it. With her forthcoming book, The Backsliders: Why Leaders Undermine Their Own Democracies (Princeton University Press), Sue Stokes is the perfect person to assess democratic erosion and autocracy. Our conversation provides insights into the state of American politics, resources for people who want to oppose democratic erosion, and particular suggestions for teachers – and sneak peak into her new book. Dr. Susan Stokes is the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor of political science and Director of the Chicago Center on Democracy at The University of Chicago. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is co-director of Bright Line Watch, a group of political scientists who monitor democratic practices, their resilience, and potential threats. Dr. Stokes has spent her career unpacking how democracy functions in developing societies, distributive politics, and comparative political behavior.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Over tirannie van Timonthy Snyder met illustraties van Nora Krug. Ondertitel: Twintig lessen uit de twintigste eeuw Timothy Snyder schreef ook het boek Over vrijheid dat we binnenkort bespreken.  https://timothysnyder.org/  Timothy David Snyder (18 augustus 1969) is een Amerikaans hoogleraar in de geschiedenis. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de Holocaust en Oost-Europa. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Snyder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Snyder  Nora Krug is een auteur en illustator (wiki). Snyder's ouders zijn Quakers. Schnyder is professor aan Yale. He is currently (February 2025) on leave from his position at Yale University and will teach at the Munk School in the 2025–26 academic year. Snyder speaks five European languages and reads ten. Snyder has stressed that knowing other languages is very important for his field, saying "If you don't know Russian, you don't really know what you're missing." Bekend van boeken: Bloedlanden. Europa tussen Hitler en Stalin (2011), The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America (2019) en On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (2017) - Nederlandse vertaling 2024 Over Tirannie: a short book about how to prevent a democracy from becoming a tyranny, with a focus on modern United States politics and on what he called "America's turn towards authoritarianism". Het onder techmiljardairs populaire libertarisme dat nu in de VS aan de macht komt, is volgens Snyder een wegbereider voor fascisme. “Het afschaffen van de overheid leidt tot chaos en dan accepteren de burgers een sterke man die zegt dat hij orde op zaken gaat stellen en de democratie opzij schuift.” Om dat tegen te gaan is het niet voldoende er tegen te protesteren. “Rechtse politici hebben het steeds over vrijheid, de andere kant heeft daardoor de neiging het onderwerp te laten liggen en zich meer te richten op gelijkheid, solidariteit en rechtvaardigheid. Terwijl vrijheid je de kans geeft een toekomst voor te stellen en daar in te geloven. Kritiek hebben is gemakkelijk. Je hoeft dan jezelf niet bloot te geven. Dat doe je wel als je laat zien waar je voor bent.” Alleen maar kritiek leveren leidt er toe dat mensen steeds op zoek gaan naar wat er mis is en daarmee ook zelf niet verder komen. “Links doet dat bij voorkeur ook nog onderling, omdat ze merken dat ze met kritiek op elkaar meer aandacht krijgen dan met het bekritiseren van rechts. Altijd op zoek naar fouten, al is het maar een enkel dingetje, om personen en betogen te kunnen afwijzen. Het is destructief. Je moet je meer richten op een betere toekomst. Op ideeën, concepten en hoe die te realiseren.” Wat een bijzonder boek. Duidelijke lessen uit de geschiedenis met een directe koppeling naar het nu. Snyder is historicus met een specialisatie in de holocaust en Oost-Europa. Het boek gaat over hoe tirannie (en fascisme) kan opkomen en wat je er tegen kunt doen.

There's no universal definition for the word freedom, according to American historian Timothy Snyder. He divides the word into two categories for people — the 'freedom from' and the 'freedom to' various things. In the U.S., Snyder calls oligarchs like Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump "heroes of negative freedom,” focused on being against things. But the author of On Freedom says it's a trap, because once you're against one thing, it builds into an endless loop of the next thing. True freedom, he says, is to thrive for the sake of our common future.

The record of physicians standing up for their values as healers under authoritarian regimes is not good, whether it's Nazi Germany, the former Soviet Union, or Iraq, with behaviors ranging from assisting in torture, to psychiatric hospitalization for political reasons. And sadly, it's often without any coercion. More subtly, physicians may go along with authoritarian regimes' demands, thinking they can just "stay above the fray."  But is that possible? Already, other professional institutions, including academia and law, have struck deals in the hope they they can move on, rather than defend academic freedom or long-standing legal principles.   What's in store for medicine? Some might say “not much” -- physicians must simply continue to take good care of their patients. But some are already acceding to orders to abandon care to certain populations, including trans people and refugees; or to compromise privacy. And professional organizations are saying little about looming cuts that would curtail access to care for millions of Americans. One scholar of authoritarianism, Timothy Snyder has written, “When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. Authoritarians need obedient servants.” In this episode, two physicians wrestle with what those commitments are, and how we hold on to them.

I'm back. I've been in hibernation for the last couple of months, basically paralyzed by what can only be described as a rapid descent into authoritarian hell. So, today's podcast is brought to you by the letter "T" for "terrorism". The government is going to great lengths to brand anyone who dares question the authority of the POWERS THAT BE, a domestic terrorist. So, in today's Set For Sentencing, we talk about three cases where the terror label is applied and the potential or actual consequences.   Of course, I'm back in action with the incomparable Mark Allenbaugh.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Breaking down the “Tesla” indictement against Frederick Cooper Delving into the terror element of the Luigi Mangioni case, where AG Bondi just announced the govt. is seeking death. A massive injustice in North Dakota where the government and judge abused a domestic terrorism provision in the guidelines as a show of cruelty against a 50 year old autistic man, sentencing him to 25 years in prison. If you want to know more about Cameron Smith's Case, here is an article in the New York Times.  If you'd like to support his defense in any way, reach out to me (doug@dougpassonlaw.com).  His appeal is pending, and we will not abandon this fight. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/us/north-south-dakota-energy-facility-attacks.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3U4.1nqZ.WXyt8a1LAAns&smid=url-share ON A LIGHTER NOTE: I'm back on the tequila train.  If you've listened to previous episodes, many involve a tequila tie-in and recommendation for a great sip.  It helps the medicine (of authoritarianism) go down. Today I had my choice of two:  Tequila Chamucos (i.e. “Diablo Blanco”) and Mijenta Blanco Maestra Secltion No. 1 Tequila.  Mijenta was the clear winner both in flavor and in theme. Mijenta, in Spanish is derived from “Mi Gente” which means “My People.”    This particular expression was made from agave grown from seeds, not clones.  Mijenta Tequila https://mijenta-tequila.com/ And if you take away nothing from the events of the day is that this great American experiment of ours is meant to be “by the people and for the people” and at the end of the day, the people have the power.  It's time to fight, by all peaceful means necessary, the rapid slide into authoritarian rule.   We have to plant the seeds of resistance and let them grow, unafraid, and undaunted.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 114: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: NO, NBC NEWS AND KRISTEN WELKER - YOU IDIOTS - TRUMP HAS NEVER BEEN 'JOKING' ABOUT A 3RD TERM: Only to dimwitted media types who have been lying to themselves and their audience was it a shock when Welker insisted yesterday to Trump that he’s “joking” about stealing an unconstitutional and illegal third term and the Dictator replying “No I’m not joking, I’m not joking" and he alluded to several ways to game the 22nd Amendment Term Limits. Trump has been serious about this since at least 2023 and the first time I reported on that fact on this podcast was on Wednesday, November 8th… 2023. This has been the plan (like all the other plans) take something unconstitutional and illegal and do it anyway and dare you to sue and get his Concierge Supreme Court to invent a new law and a new country to LET him do it anyway AND insist THIS is the law and if you oppose him, YOU’RE breaking it. That’s the way they papered over Trump’s violation of the Insurrection Clause in the 14th Amendment. Worse yet, the man who has best encapsulated the evil inside Trump, Yale History professor Timothy Snyder, is leaving the country. Literally. Moving to the University of Toronto. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about how much Trump is NOT kidding. IF ANYBODY STOPS TRUMP it'll be the corporations and Wall Street types who suddenly realize that when he said he'd cook the economy to give all the money to the rich guys he meant just him and Musk. Or maybe it'll be Trump's Intel Community. Somebody is leaking career-ending stories about Pete Hegseth and Bring-Your-Wife-To-Secret-Meetings-Work-Day and Bring-Your-Brother-Into-A-Nepo-Job-Day and I wonder who it could be. Perhaps the National Security Advisor who needs Hegseth to take the fall for SignalGate and just happens to have the number of the editor of The Atlantic programmed into his phone? If we're lucky maybe Hegseth and Mike Waltz will accomplish the rare simultaneous double knockout! B-Block (33:06) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Anna Paulina Luna thinks NBC is hiding a videotape with time code proving Oswald wasn't at the JFK Assassination (three years before time code was invented). A would-be GOP Nominee for Governor of Virginia thinks Anne Frank appeared in a classroom in California 20 years ago to tell gang bangers about the holocaust. And Bill Maher has self-destructed again. Now he thinks he's going to meet Trump because they respect him, because he was the first to predict Trump wouldn't leave office, and to heal the country. And Chris Cuomo and Gavin Newsom are there to reinforce Bill's gullibility! C-Block (49:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: So I've resumed my TV sports career!

¿Qué es la posverdad y por qué debemos hablar sobre ella? Según el diccionario de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española la posverdad es la "distorsión deliberada de una realidad que manipula creencias y emociones con el fin de influir en la opinión pública y en actitudes sociales" Y agrega además "los demagogos son maestros de la posverdad". Claro, la distorsión de la realidad es tan añeja como la humanidad misma. La mentira, la otra cara de la moneda, tiene vida propia. Pero entonces, ¿por qué fue apenas hace nueve años, en el 2016, que el Diccionario Oxford escogió "posverdad" como la palabra del año? La posverdad camina plácidamente entre la verdad y la mentira y en estos tiempos de vertiginosas transformaciones de la info tecnología de las comunicaciones se ha convertido en una poderosa arma destructiva de los cimientos de la convivencia democrática. "La posverdad es el prefascismo" asegura Timothy Snyder, uno de los cronistas más reputados en dictaduras contemporáneas. Por eso, de acuerdo con otro de los grandes especialistas en la materia, Moisés Naím, es imperioso "restablecer la capacidad de los ciudadanos a la hora de distinguir entre la mentira y la verdad" si es que queremos preservar la democracia y garantizar que los sistemas políticos trabajen en beneficio de las sociedades. ¿Cómo lograrlo cuando vivimos -literalmente- inundados de posverdades y hechos alternativos que nos hacen imposible distinguir la paja del grano? Hoy sabemos que los sofisticados sistemas de la desinformación han sido capaces de penetrar sistemas electorales y hasta "orientar" voluntades ciudadanas. Y sabemos también qué democracias enteras están sometidas al ejercicio del poder político que se sustenta justamente en la demagogia de la posverdad. Posverdad, un fenómeno que debemos comprender y asimilar para contar con las herramientas necesarias para el ejercicio de ciudadanías bien informadas. Con el especialista, Gustavo Román Jacobo, doctor en Sociedad de la Información, Análisis Crítico del Discurso de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid conversamos en Hablando Claro.

C'est bien cela : l'art du langage n'est pas un art de vivre qui combattrait les cyniques puissances de mort qui se lèvent partout, mais il peut, par le soin qu'il accorde aux mots des vivants tourner l'attention vers leurs conditions d'existence, vers leur présent, et, parfois, vers leurs espoirs.
