Congress and SCOTUS are both helplessly compromised/will not help us. They have bent the knee just as some news agencies, law firms, corps, the wealthy.
The only peaceful way to stop this is for someone to step up and allow for an emergency nationwide vote to replace tRump and those enabling him.
@timothysnyder.bsky.social If MAGA operates as a cult in Congress (voting against constituents’ needs, to appease the cult leader), isn’t that undue influence? Why is a cult in power legal?

When I read On Freedom, yes it made sense but not a huge impression. But it seeped into my mind slowly, and now? Now it's begun to filter my way of seeing all human formations. It changed me for the better and the deeper! 🥰 Much gratitude. It's a basic philosophy
Hello Mr Snyder. Just reading this fantastic book of yours and I want to say a big thank you. What an important book. Looking forward to read also the other recent books that you wrote. Again, many thanks for that. Fan from Slovakia! 🇸🇰🇪🇺

A BA from Penn isn't close to the level achieved through the 2 gruelling post-BA years of work in the well known Wharton MBA at Penn. Journalists should keep the two degrees distinct. If a Penn BA suggests he's studied at the "famous Wharton school," check before crediting him with a Wharton MBA.

If not for the church people
with their anti abortion & anti gay, etc.,
in support of their dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible,
