"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...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Peter Stern was born in Nuremberg in 1936, a German Jew. His father died in the Holocaust; he and his brother somehow survived Bergen-Belsen. Today he's protesting what's happening in America. "I came to say that something as nasty as that can happen again, and it can, without me saying something."

Volodymyr Zelensky said that at least 67 Ukrainian priests, pastors, and monks have been killed or tortured by Russian forces, and that 640 religious sites—most of them Christian—have been destroyed since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Yes. And do so not for the sake of those of us you berated but because, like David Brooks, your very failure in the past gives you credibility with many whom you misled now. If you were wrong, you have an opportunity to do a whole lot of right by saying so now.

This is specifically about universities. It is very important to see how fascists and authoritarians in other countries have attacked them. And to think, as Gessen does here, about constructive responses. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak. The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations. It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors. Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. Courage is contagious.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-69d
