The great Volodymyr Yermolenko and his UkraineWorld project are very worthy of support. Here we are launching my freedom book, underground, in Kharkiv last September. @ukraineworld.bsky.social ukraineworld.org/en/podcasts/...

White Supremacist are obsessed with [white] birthrates because they believe The Great Replacement Theory (a fear that black/brown/Muslim people will produce more babies that will replace white Christians). Tucker Carlson believes this, Elon Musk believes it, and so did Adolf Hitler.

Studies show that lower cognitive ability—especially weak critical thinking—makes people more likely to believe: •Conspiracies •Authoritarian rhetoric •“Us vs. Them” tribal narratives 1/2

It’s almost time to sing Dayenu! Hag Sameach, Bluesky!

Bill Maher can try and frame it any way he wants. He NORMALIZED a dangerous authoritarian. Period. Full stop.

Trump news at a glance: US can deport lawful resident for his views in ‘unjust and alarming’ court ruling - The Guardian

I post this one on Truth Social quite frequently, as I hear it's a favorite of his.

So… a draft dodger is getting a military parade with money he is stealing from things like cancer research… 🤔

Thank you for all the kind notes about my piece this morning. Happy Passover.

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

Happy Record Store Day, everybody. Make sure to shop local.

Under His Eye...

Yesterday, the DNI endorsed a conspiracy theory about voting machines and stolen elections, and the HHS Secretary announced a probe into the “causes of autism” that is all but certain to blame vaccines. We can’t call this stuff fringe any more when it’s literally coming from the halls of power

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.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

THIS 🤨 TO: RFK Jr. RE: You Are A Dangerous Idiot

Letting Reps with newborns vote remotely is pro-family, Speaker Johnson. Thank you, @pettersen.house.gov, for leading this movement, not just for you and your generation, but for Sam and his.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

We need to encourage businesses to show the Trump Tariff Tax on their receipts and invoices. 👇

It’s wild that Trump surrendered to the companies that bribed him but decided to just go ahead and keep fucking over small businesses just for the hell of it.

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

He's going to wake up one day and say: "We don't need a SCOTUS." Roberts: "I never thought leopards would eat my face!"

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

MAGA congresswoman says climate change is a 'sham' because 'God controls the sun' open.substack.com/pub/reallyam...

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

"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...

Americans used to call the Canadian dollar the "northern peso." At the rate it's falling now, Canadians will soon be calling the U.S. dollar the "southern ruble."

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m tired of this happening.

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.
