The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

No surprise here

People who live through the Golden Age of this or that usually don't realize it until it's over. One exception is the Golden Age of Stupid, which we are definitely living through now, even though Trump supporters don’t realize it.

"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...

BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse. www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-c...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Yes, its absurd Trump is golfing while the markets are tanking due to his direct actions. But, also, I’m not sure anyone really thinks, boy, if Trump would just focus on the economy he could right this ship. No. Stay golfing man. Don’t touch anything else.

Never forget and never forgive the oligarchs and MAGA twitter grifters who led this country into collapse.

#HandsOffProtests

remembering fondly when people were like "don't promote 50501, it's not real, it's a psyop"

I just came home from the Hand's Off Rally in front of the Collier County Courthouse. A DEEP RED town. AND THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF DEMONSTRATORS THERE!!! You know who WASN'T there? MSM. NOT ONE! A significant event for this town. And SPORTS are more important.

James Gandolfini spoke to me in a dream last night. He said to eat more cheese. Not just me; we ALL, apparently, need to. I’m just spreading the word.

We do not stand just for our own good. We stand for the common good. We stand together today.

There are some absolutely fantastic signs out here today. Arts and craft game is strong.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.

What a day. What a country! 💪

The people are awake. The people are angry. And the people are organized. 📍 Chicago, Illinois #HANDSOFF
