So a politician is convicted of a serious crime, and then can't run for the presidency. Weird idea, but worth a try. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/w...

At his rally in Wisconsin, South African billionaire Elon Musk says he will put an end to the Federal Reserve Bank and the US Dollar so that he, Peter Thiel and David Sacks (the South African broligarchs) can introduce a new cryptocurrency based financial system.

NEW: ACLU's filing on Friday also shows the impact of these bad gang tattoo claims. Specifically, remember Andry, the gay make-up artist we sent to rot in a prison in El Salvador? Here are the tattoos that an ICE officer declared were "Consistent with those of a Tren de Aragua member."

It feels like Trump has been willing to inflict pain and anger so many people because he truly believes that his tariffs will usher in some golden age that will make everyone forgive him, so when that turns out *not* to be the case, it's going to get very weird, very fast, as he tries to adjust.

If your union reps aren’t talking about walkouts or collective action, ask them why and consider new leadership. If your bosses aren’t communicating strategies for resistance, push them for answers. If your institution is waffling, recognize they are vulnerable to pressure and exert your own.

If any of these are your representatives, urge them to divest from Tesla: Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), and Dwight Evans (D-Pa.).

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...

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied. Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Bill Cassidy is out with a statement praising Peter Marks, calling his departure a loss and urging RFK Jr to pick a replacement of similar stature. Again, strikes me that these sorts of admonishments wouldn’t have been needed if RFK Jr wasn’t health secretary.

This will end with kids dying and being left damaged and disabled for life by diseases basic science has cured. RFK Jr will be gone sooner or later (ideally sooner) but nothing will bring those kids back or repair the damage done to their families.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.
