This is probably happening, but it's not a headline generator (especially nationally) if a top professor leaves for Canada, Japan or Europe. Now, if it was a top basketball player going from college to a European basketball league instead of the NBA, it would get into the news...
Amusingly there been several headlines in Toronto about academics from the US moving here. Specifically the guy that studies fascism making a beeline to the University of Toronto was written about quite a bit here.
You must mean Tom Snyder. When he moved to Canada, I thought we must all be screwed.
Pretty much. I mean, there is still time to get him contained, but I don't think anyone is going to take action till things get much worse.
Do you mean Timothy Snyder, the author of On Tyranny? he discusses the move in this video. Super brilliant man. He didn't desert us, not at all. youtu.be/1GCp3Ki6umw?...
very good discussion - full of information.
This one also. He never fails to impress. youtu.be/idBWUEup_rg?...
Yes! My iPhone always seems to change Tim to Tom.
Thanks for this Flagging to view later!
Well worth the time. @timothysnyder.bsky.social, @hcrichardson.bsky.social, and @marcelias.bsky.social are my primary heroes at the moment.
Wild, cause I was talking about Jason Stanley That there was more than 1 says a lot. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I was unfamiliar with his story. The day after the election, I called my son and told him if he and his wife decide to leave the US, I'm supportive. If I wasn't so old and had the means, I'd be out of here, providing I could get all of my children and grandchildren to come with me.
That made Aussie news too.
We didn't even hear about it. At least I didn't.
No, we didn't.
