Just ordered another book, Death's Pale Flag by @garyrsimonds.bsky.social. Excited to get it. First book of which I was unaware, that I ran across via Bluesky, is @laprofelgp.bsky.social book, The Borders of Dominicanidad. Still reading it. Very scholarly.

"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...

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter
