The Failures of “Centrism” YouTube video by Robert Reich

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.

Thank you Dr. Garber. I hope Harvard's rejection of the administration's illegal and immoral attempt to interfere with your university serves as a beacon of strength and hope for institutions of all kinds to resist.

Neguse demolishes Arrington's hypocrisy: "When the stock market dropped 1k points years ago, you rushed to bemoan Biden's actions. You condemned it. Now the market drops 1k points every day for the last week and you claim it's the economy running well. Do you understand why that's a tough argument?"
