"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 chickens haven't really come home to roost yet (everything is about to double in price, tourists will no longer come to the U.S., much worse unintended consequences we don't have the imagination to conceive of) and people fucking hate this shit, generally loathe what's going on. Go on offense.

So the man who is actively dismantling our democratic institutions, the man who is currently saying fuck due process, snatching innocent people off our streets, and dumping them into foreign gulags, that man is “charming” in private? Do I have that right @billmaher?

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

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?

DHS shows up at schools and then lies, saying that they want to see certain students and that they have permission from the parents. This is straight-up Kristi Noem kind of bullshit. She is too busy trying to figure out if she is a model (she's not...and never could have been) or a pretend cop.

Sign a mutual defense treaty with us & we'll tell the world we won't honor it. Visit us & we'll disappear you into a prison camp on suspicion of violating your visa. Sign a trade agreement with us & we'll violate it six ways in five days. Exactly what the fuck does anyone need us for right now?

STRAIGHT UP AUTHORITARIANISM!!! DOGE is secretly monitoring staff — scanning messages, watching for disloyalty— and using AI to do it. No one should have to work under these conditions.

What are the remedies here? The court makes a ruling, and the government flips them the bird. Then what? Appeals? Bird. Supreme Court? Bird. Then what? At what point are there real consequences for the people in the government, not just their attorneys? Cause I’m not seeing it.
