Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

"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 SAVE Act is headed to the Senate. If it's signed into law, millions will feel the impact—especially women. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf says: enough with the gaslighting. This is voter suppression in democracy’s clothing.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: www.themarginalian.org/2019/06/17/t...

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of all deportations from the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

I am inspired by the story of this community coming together and standing up for their immigrant neighbors and students. It is a relief that this mother and her children are home and a reminder of the power of community to protect our immigrant neighbors and the rule of law.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

This week the system worked. Donald Trump blinked. The unwinding is still just beginning. It will be painful and tumultuous. A grief-filled fight lies ahead over whether his trade actions have even been legal and constitutional.

I have to prove that I have a Constitutional right to vote but I don’t have to prove I have a Constitutional right to own a gun - even one w/ the sole purpose of killing a human. This is crazy fucked up. I want to challenge the govt to prove that I DON’T have the right to vote, like they do w/ guns.

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Build workshops to help others get their passports (advice, consultation, transportation) & collectives to cover costs. Even better, those in the gov, millionaire or billionaire class should help subsidize this effort. It’s going to hurt at least 21 million, don’t let it be 21 million of ours. #3E
