I wonder how many people are receiving threats.

4. Professor Jason Stanley is one of the three Yale profs who

is moving to Canada. He was interviewed this morning on a great Canadian program called The Current, and I realized that as sad as I am that he and Timothy Snyder are moving, they will be able to keep speaking out, as Jason Stanley did this morning. He pulled no punches, declaring the U.S. fascist and Columbia University "not even qualifying as a university anymore--it is a collection of buildings."

The next two I am worried about (or wondering about) are Anne Applebaum and Ruth Ben-Ghiat. I think Applebaum has triple citizenship (Poland and the UK).

It is getting lonely--these four people have been my guiding lights over the last eight years.

Now Elon Musk is trying to shame one of my senators, Mark Kelly, for visiting Ukraine in a show of support. Musk calls him a "traitor," probably trying to elicit the kinds of threats you are talking about. So I wrote to him and just lent my support.

I hope that for every negative comment or threat the courageous people get, they receive positive feedback, letters of great affection and support.
