Just to remind everyone and inform those who aren't aware, presidents don't have the authority to impose tariffs in the first place. He's illegally usurping that power from Congress under the guise of "national security."

“They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”

Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

"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...

This is Boksil. She wanted to let you to know that she is free to hang out right now if you are. In case you were wondering. 12/10

I watch #PBS almost exclusively. Masterpiece, Mystery, NOVA, Nature, Independent Lens, Frontline, American Experience, Henry Louis Gates, Lucy Worsley, Ken Burns - they have all been part of my daily life for decades. 100k words would be too few to say all the ways it makes society better.

Louder for the voters in the back!

The book is here! THE BOOK IS HERE! Malcolm Lives! And it looks. . .wow. Feeling a mix of excitement, nervousness, and conviction. So excited to get Malcolm Lives before the eyes of young readers, of adult readers, of educators, of librarians, of readers of history and biography.

I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

As a trauma surgeon and survivor of gun violence, I’m appalled. Removing the ATF’s memorial to gun violence victims isn’t just political—it’s erasure. These were lives lost. Families shattered. You don’t end an epidemic by hiding its toll. We honor the fallen by telling the truth.

Pass it on…

Just heard Orange Man wants to reopen Alcatraz as a prison. What a forward thinking dude—we’re gonna need a place to lock him up and he loves ocean views. The Turdman of Alcatraz. I like it.

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

Can God get an amen?

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

🤣🤣

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.
