Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A judge ruled that DOGE can now access sensitive Treasury Department systems, allowing its Musk staffers to interact with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which manages trillions in federal payments and holds private information on millions of Americans.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

"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...

I'm exposing the Trump admin with firsthand CDC intel. Farmers with Bird Flu symptoms are denied testing by RFJK’s direct order. This isn’t negligence. It’s a public health crime. I’ll keep revealing the truth on H5N1, COVID-19, TB, Measles, and more. Please follow my page and spread the word.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

There are two judges in different district courts with cases related to Kilmar Garcia, one is primarily a criminal case the other is a civil case. Either judge should demand the US Government turn over the full signed agreement between the US and El Salvador.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Terrifying News: A hepatitis C outbreak strikes Florida, and the U.S. government shuts down the only CDC lab capable of testing the samples. This isn’t a mistake it’s political negligence putting lives at risk. We need leaders who act now and prioritize health. We need accountability and answers.

The founders believed armed rebellion may be justified if: – Elections are suspended or corrupted - Courts are ignored or undermined - Due process is violated - Military force is used on citizens - One branch (especially the executive) consolidates all power

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.
