Exactly. People really need to stop acting like this is normal. An 80% tariff is still fucking stupid.

This is fascism.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich. (Art work by @doodlebymeg)

Five years into COVID, the disproportionate impact of the virus has flipped. In 2020, about half of deaths were among Hispanics and 38% were among whites. Last year, 23% were Hispanic and 63% were white. Experts blame differing attitudes about vaccination. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/01/t...

Great thread!

"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...

Happy Star Wars Day. Got to ask though, got to wonder how many people have actually seen it, having just seen a large number vote for the Dark Side. Did you not listen to Yoda? "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering".

. The President of the United States just took a $2 billion bag from a UAE-backed crypto firm. That’s not business it’s a bribe. A sitting president is getting paid by a foreign government. This is treason in plain sight. And y’all quiet? Hell no. .

Warnock: I don’t know how anybody can be apathetic after what we’re going through right now. We say elections have consequences. That ain’t a slogan right about now. We’re living that reality. Here I am doing everything I can with the tools that I have but tools are not the same…

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
