If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to pray, he’ll die of starvation begging the gods and hoping for a miracle.

"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...

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

It seems like every day we are focusing on what is happening to democracy in court. The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Always fearlessly independent with no corporate overlords. It will not bow down. It will never obey. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newslett...

Let’s send food safety inspectors to the coal mines’

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

“PABLO MOTOS Y ABASCAL” LlamaFest ‘24

Sanders: You know why we have all these great musicians here today? We're going to make our revolution with joy. We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.

A reminder: Martha Stewart did time in a federal prison for way less. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

This week in America.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

"The president is no longer bound by law, but he is protected by laws. The same laws that now permit him to, say, instruct Seal Team Six to assassinate the chief justice, also provide for him to complete his presidential term."

🚨Every vote counts. We don’t change the rules after the votes have been counted. 🚨We need everyone at this action on Monday! #ncpol #indivisible #RiggsWon www.mobilize.us/megaphonenc/...

There was so much music going on, I had to hop on the set 🥁

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Area Man Claims To Be Strongest Leader in World But Can’t Ask El Salvador a Favor

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

"Last week, 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" was removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library. Why? Because impressionable midshipmen might be...what? Educated in aspects of American history and society they hadn’t personally experienced?" www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse...

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

WATCH LIVE: Fighting Oligarchy Tour with AOC And Bernie Sanders in LA

Gomez: It doesn't matter if you're young, old, or Gen X, Gen Z. We are now a new generation. We are the fuck around and find out generation. Gomez: Fuck around Crowd: Find out

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Huge crowd tonight on Vancouver Island to see MP Charlie Angus speak at the “Canada Resistance Tour”—and an amazing shoutout to MeidasTouch from the Maple Meidas in Cumberland, Port Alberni, K’ómoks First Nation, Nanaimo, and the Comox Valley.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.
