To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

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...

I’m not the first to point this out, but just in case you missed it on this Liberation Day, President Big Brain thinks his tariffs apply to illegal shipments of fentanyl, making the drug more expensive to American junkies.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Cory Booker is doing what every single Dem Senator should be doing - using his one voice and few procedural tools to gum up the gears of government. This is how Opposition parties work. About time the Americans figure out what effective Canadian opposition parties have known for ages.

The two leading contenders for prime minister have deep personal roots in the West. Yet Conservatives in the region argue that the West is "left out" of national decisionmaking? And that there's a "national unity crisis"? You don't have to believe them.

I really don't know how to explain to folks that we should care for other people. Sure they'll reverse the policy. But the evil part remains...some asshat thought this was a good idea in the first place. The UCP needs to go. Reason #9346 #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

For years, political experts have warned that America is in a state of democratic decline. Now some say democracy in the US could be giving way to something else entirely: an oligarchy.

This Jason Stanley interview made me stop my car to listen. I was late for work but it was worth it. His message is key for Albertans: If you attempt to appease fascists you only get humiliated or worse! Our Premier should stop bending knee to Trump. Fight with Team Canada!

My updated forecast using the 26 March CBC polling averages has the Liberal Party winning a majority in almost every simulation, and an average of 184 seats across the 10,000 simulations. There are some dire outcomes for the NDP, with some simulations resulting in zero seats.

~"Smith was scheduled to speak at the University of Alberta for an unrelated announcement on Monday. That event was postponed on Sunday afternoon." The bad publicity is getting to Smith. She's avoiding questions she knows will be about her interview and #CorruptCare.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation. If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

Great investigative reporting here re: the lack of transparency about, and enforcement of, orphan well owners in Alberta. It shows how farcically useless the Alberta Energy Regulator is.

Seems police are being dispatched to protect Telsa dealerships across the USA. Maybe all schools in the USA should sell one Telsa in their parking lot so kids can be protected too.

The scale of Danielle Smith's Turkish Tylenol screw-up staggers me every time I see the number: $70 million!! Now she's tries to get someone to take it off her hands, for nothing, to reduce her warehouse cost. One of the biggest screwups in Alberta history. Let's not forget.

I, a climate policy nerd, have been too irate to talk about this Poilievre promise to scrap the industrial carbon price, an output-based allocation policy for big polluters. Sound boring? Because it is. So boring that it’s been AB law since 2008. Terrible for emissions. Also bad for business.

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade. Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.
