Most people imagine that democracy ends with a military coup. But they are wrong With @nprfreshair.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Jeff Bezos is a traitor and a collaborator.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, along with attorneys general from 21 other states, are attempting to block the latest Trump administration plan to cut federal funding to universities.

Elon and the robber barons are making sure you have no rights when they rip you off. Welcome to the *real* Gilded Age.

Two weeks into President Trump’s sweeping freeze on foreign aid, H.I.V. groups abroad have not received any funding, jeopardizing the health of more than 20 million people, including 500,000 children. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...

It’s no surprise that Scott Bessent and Donald Trump want to save face and downplay the risks as Elon Musk seizes power, but the American people know better. Trump and Bessent are asking you not to believe what’s playing out right in front of your eyes.

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Tulsi Gabbard is not just completely unqualified to be Director of National Intelligence – she is anti-qualified. snyder.substack.com/p/tulsi-gabb...

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

I'm just going to assume she followed this up with "wakka wakka wakka"

2. DEFEND INSTITUTIONS 👉🏼Institutions will not automatically defend themselves. They need to be defended. 👉🏼Many reasonable people assumed in Germany in 1933, as many do now, that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot destroy them. This assumption was wrong. #SnyderOnTyranny

Harout Akdedian analyzes the rise in anti-Jewish and anti-Arab/Muslim incidents since Oct. 7, the U.S.-specific challenges in combating the rise in extremism, and what can be done.

We’re about to find out whether there are any patriots among Republican Senators, or whether they’ll make excuses for the foreign-backed demolition of our Republic that is now plainly underway.

This is a good start.
