"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...

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

Kuuntelen Orpon saarnaa Narinkkatorilla tuossa vieressä. Kuulemma kokoomuksen ainoa tavoite Helsingissä on saada Sazonov pormestariksi ja että kokoomuksen lippu liehuu kaupungintalon päällä. Vihreissä meillä on tavoitteena hyvä kaupunki, mahdollisuuksien Helsinki, kaikille.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

The Trump administration seems to be pressuring Amazon to ban books at their webstore, including those by David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen. Insane, but predictable. #censorship m.youtube.com/watch?v=GtEy...

Hallituksessa on useita ministereitä ja kansanedustajia, jotka kovaäänisesti vastustavat DEI:tä, koska se on kuulemma epäreilua. Ja sitten nämä samat tyypit yrittävät saada epäpätevää Arto Satosta Kelan pääjohtajaksi vain siksi, että hänellä on oikea puoluekirja taskussaan.

Kaiken muun kuohunnan taustalla ilmastonmuutos etenee vaarallista vauhtia. Aihe on ollut surkean vähän esillä vaalijournalismissa ja johtavat poliitikot päästetty liian helpolla liirumlaarumilla, vaikka sanoille ei olisi teoissa katetta. www.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/tiedote/1OVV...

Trump could reverse tariffs, keep them and use them as opportunities for corruption—exemptions as favors—or push ahead. "The only safe bet is that the future will be volatile, with White House incompetence and lawbreaking. America’s position as a widely trusted bedrock of the global economy is gone"
