JUST IN LIVE from NYT -GOP-Controlled House passes 2026 Budget w $6 TRILLION to just the super rich who pay less than 2% of their fair share and are just .007% of the USA population. Bill increases taxes by at least $4070 for standardized middle class/poor & much more those who make +$45K-$2.3M/year

Former journalist here. This is IMPORTANT. When you're telling people about your protest plans, include your local media!

the husband and me, yesterday, at the bemidji lakefront. as you can see, it was cold, and bemidji is a small town in northern minnesota, but there were over 1,000 of us.

proud of dayton, my hometown. our protest in bemidji minnesota was well attended (1,000-1,200 was the official count) and we got lots of support from passing vehicles.

it’ll be 37 degrees with a bit of gusty wind in bemidji tomorrow but LOTS of folks will be there to protest, including me.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Very sad to see this www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

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...

we’re having one in bemidji at 2 pm April 5. meet at Paul and Babe.

a little waffle party for #severance tonight, with a little jazz and dancing before the finale…waiting for season 3…

Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price. I’ve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need. www.startribune.com/iron-range-l...

It’s difficult to overstate how asinine this is. mRNA vaccines have been the most revolutionary development of vaccinology in this century and are uniquely well suited to address many limitations that other vaccine technologies cannot (e.g., CD8 T cell responses in immunocompromised people).

reading this book currently #booksky. an eye opener, for sure
