I believe in peer-reviewed science, ethics, respect, integrity, & accountability. Leaders should, too. Common sense is an endangered trait — apparently so is the rule of law in the US. Whisky media in a regrettably dry town.

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...

What fresh h*ll awaits us today, friends? It’s Friday, so what does the administration want to attempt to hold the weekend news cycle with? Wrong answers and ridiculous theories only…but then again who had texting attack plans on their bingo card last week?

The felon could randomly decide that Canadian Geese were a national threat, & anyone who has feed them needs to disappear… No one is above the law, & everyone has a right to due process. Also, how many armed & hooded people does it take to kidnap a student off the street? Fear is the point.

BREAKING: Starting at 6 pm today and through tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education offices and regional offices will be closed “for security reasons.” Multiple sources shared the email to employees — which doesn’t explain more. Do you have info? Let me + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social know.
