Cork libraries now open 8am-10pm daily! New My Open Library service launches at Carrigaline, Kinsale & Mallow with 145% more opening hours for the community. csalert.ie/4jjpy6P

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Dismantling Education Department www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u... Too late, judge, but thanks, I guess.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

This is definitely an acceptable level of petty.

Vote coming up for Google shareholders. Obviously, someone connected with the current administration wrote some of this crap.

Say. This.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

"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...

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The "who is lawfully present" here is key because due process is the only way to know whether or not someone is "lawfully present." Either everyone has due process or none of us do.

Lesson 13: "Practice corporeal politics... Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them." ***There will be chances to practice corporeal politics all over the USA on April 5th.*** Find yours here: handsoff2025.com

Baltimore City was on point today. The signs were hitting hard! #HandsOff

🤣

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

On this day in 1968, the civil rights trailblazer Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Without him, we would not have become a society for all Americans. To preserve MLK's legacy, the Congressional Black Caucus will continue work together to protect DEI. Rest in power, Dr. King.

We just received our Irish residency approval letter. Finally. We will plan to go back this summer.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...
