I’m so sorry. I feel your pain. Much smaller scale but I wrote two pieces very early about him (pre-Jan 6th) predicting he would do what he was threatening - the worst including refuse to leave office (that one i had to self publish). It was all so predictable.
Thank you again and again for everything you have said and wrote over the past 10 yrs.
I remember you being on various programs in the first part of his 1st admin, then no one brought you on anymore despite every prediction, including predictions about Biden & Garland, came true.
Seriously, there were times during the first Trump term when I felt like giving up on ppl, and your work reassured me that I wasn't alone, we were just overwhelmed by design, and They Knew. I know you helped millions of readers. Who knows where we'd be of you hadn't been brave enough to write?
Hi Sarah - please check Philip Zimbardo's Tedtalk - the Psychology of Evil. It illustrates how good people turn evil, and what we can do to encourage people to be heroes instead.
It was one of the last lines I wrote! Came to me in the 20th or so round of editing (I rewrite and edit til it feels right and sometimes the best lines come to me last)
I don’t even know what what to hope for anymore. I am listening to Octavia Butler and holding the idea that community is what will strengthen us. I don’t understand the bad actors. I don’t understand joy from someone else’s pain. I don’t ever want to be like that.
We are witnessing the public brainwashing. Millions of people know the govt lies constantly, corruption is deep in its soul, yet they are outraged at the gutting of USAID, Dept of Education, etc. They don't know USAID isn't AID or that it's part of the war machine, they forget Betsy DeVos or the GWB
testing for dollars that turned education to a reward system that lost its focus on learning. These depts are as corrupt as the govt that oversees them. They need reform by decent people not the buffoons that have been in charge for 20+ years. The outrage should be the careless speed of decisions to
destroy instead of full transparency that's honest & not the crafted lies of good intentions on their former websites. If those keyboard fingers researched reality they would object in a constructive way & not the way the MSM & politicians are guiding them.
"The problem is that when people are late to understand the original warning, a new crisis has already emerged from the delay, requiring new understanding and new solutions. The continual refusal to grasp that time is the autocrat’s greatest weapon is what destroys the possibility of defeating him."
Hello Sarah , I am Waseem. We are currently in a temporary truce for the war and we are in the most difficult times because our house has been completely destroyed by the occupation and we are now in the street and our tent is torn apart, but the weather conditions are rainy. Please donate to us😭🫂
It’s interesting to see many now picking up and reporting on the Vichy France/ feckless Democratic Party parallel. As far as I know, you coined the term “Vichy Dems”. I think you’ll be seeing a lot more of that throughout the course of this administration.
Hilary was right.
So was Kamala.
Don't recall many media apologizing for their role in discounting/ bashing her.

I just borrowed They Knew from the library. My husband read the jacket, saw Tim Snyder, grabbed & dove in. He'd just finished Woodward's War. Asked to compare he said Bob offered a peek behind the curtain. You "tear it down & set it on fire." I'll read it after he burns through it.👍
I read your first 2 books, by the time the third came out I just couldn’t! Everything from the first two books we were living through. It was frightening, yet all around me, people could not see it. Malcolm Nance also has several books that came out the same time yours.
Dear Sarah: What's going to happen when t***p's tariffs on Mexico affect transnational legitimate commerce with the U.S., given that the cartels are involved with the avocado trade, et al? They're so powerful; the DEA had to free a Mexican general. Are the cartels powerful enough to eliminate t***p?

I’m a 60 something year old Dane living in cozy Denmark 🇩🇰 and I feel like I’m going crazy…

I appreciate you.

You're my favorite living writer. 😉
Can we convince a handful of Republicans to be heroes and stop the destruction?
