"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...

Activism is the antidote to fear. We will oppose every attack on democracy, freedom and the rule of law. And we will defeat fascism in America.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

3 years ago in Bologna I saw David Levithan on a book banning panel warn that book banning would eventually move across the pond. Some folks dismissed the idea, pointing out that the politics of Europe are different. And now today... : www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

This looks great! WOW — Heather Cox Richardson and Jasmine Crockett together?!🔥 Trump started implementing Project 2025 on his first day back in office. I can't imagine two more informed and empowering women to show us how to fight it. I just signed up — join me! social.redwine.blue/s/OwHZIoVH

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers! At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why. Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛
