"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order forcibly to detransition trans women inmates and transfer them to men's prisons, citing the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

NASA workers were told to "drop everything" and spend their time scrubbing mentions of women in leadership, indigenous people, and environmental justice from the web: www.404media.co/nasa-dei-dro...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

FB keeps making me follow right wing groups and is showing me more and more right wing propaganda. I’m through with them for good this time.

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

Victor is a smart guy!

I don’t think I can take any more of this administration this week, let alone for the next 4 years. I need a spark of inspiration or a nap or both

Except all fetuses begin as female. Donald Trump is a self-loathing trans male.

We must understand the signals and the plans. History teaches us these.

“How did you go morally bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Shameful

Bullies are cowards, episode 334934

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

It's time for the morning news breakdown! In under 6 minutes, I run through what you should expect for Trump's second day in office (mass deportations), highlight some of the major executive orders he signed, and talk about what you should look for this week. Let me know your thoughts!

Trump just pardoned these people. Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

If you think Elon did nothing offensive, perhaps try it yourself at work or at school or in Germany or Austria and see how that goes for you.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

With Donald Trump taking office, organizations nationwide have been preparing for his hardline immigration promises with Know Your Rights workshops. “We’re in a waiting game.” thetriibe.com/2025/01/what...

"One day we must ask the question, 'Why are there forty million poor people in America?' ... When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy." -MLK, speech to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, 1967 #MLKDay #IHaveADream

This incel that I work with was whining about waking up with a nose bleed one morning. “Do you have any idea how scary it is to wake up in a pool of your own blood,” he asks. “Every 28 days since the 6th grade,” I reply. 🙄

Trump at a rally -- Elon Musk rigged the election for me CNN -- crickets NY Times -- crickets Washington Post -- crickets The mainstream media has already given up and died

Dear Philly DA Larry Krasner: Donald Trump just admitted Elon Musk used insider knowledge of vote-counting machines to engineer his victory in PA. Open an investigation immediately. And yes, you CAN prosecute a sitting president. Because you don't work for DOJ. xoxo America

Civil disobedience! Do not obey in advance! We’re here to fuck shit up!

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

I’m legitimately terrified 🫣

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Hey Walmart, you’d think a billion dollar corporation could have functioning shopping carts 🛒

What is this trend of saving and reusing your old candle jars? Use them for what? All 52 from last year?

BREAKING: California Republicans fled to Mar a Lago while LA County burns. meidasnews.com/news/califor...

So true.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."
