WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Boycott Amazon for one week beginning tonight at midnight. Boycott Amazon for one week beginning tonight at midnight. Boycott Amazon beginning tonight at midnight for one week.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Well... the State of the DisUnion will begin, shortly. I'm gonna be in attendance 😳😏. DO NOT WATCH!

Northern New Mexico’s #Eocene (~50 million year-old) estuary siltstone badlands. Some of the earliest proto-primates’ fossils lurk here — some 40 miles west of the earliest dinosaur fossils, thanks to the alchemy of plate tectonics, folding, and uplift. A few miles farther, the first amphibians.

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

Keep on fighting ✊🏾 💙🦋💙🦋 #BlueCrew

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994. Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.

A reminder for these times.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday released a policy prohibiting public comments during his department’s rulemaking process, ending more than 50 years of the public’s involvement in crafting his department’s rules. thehill.com/policy/healt...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Just saying.

Would pay money for a Zelensky / Kendrick Collab

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk can afford to blithely dismantle the healthcare of America's veterans at the VA. As two rich draft-dodgers, they never need worry about getting help with treatment for military injuries.

There’s a bunch of reasons that people frame Musk with “Well he did accomplish xyz, but..” and maybe the most powerful is that if you accept that he’s really a sociopathic scammer born with an emerald spoon in his mouth, and not a genius at all, the whole system gets a whole lot harder to defend.

Tribal Nations across the U.S. have been impacted by federal funding freezes & the firing of staff at BIA, BIE, and IHS. These actions undermine tribal trust and treaty responsibilities. We ask the Administration to take immediate action to halt, exempt, and reverse these actions.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

My thoughts on the Russian-American talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine. The simplest interpretation of the available facts is that the Americans are using Russian violence to try to exploit Ukraine. snyder.substack.com/p/peace-or-p...

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Across the border from the Texas measles outbreak, in Lea County, New Mexico, an unvaccinated teenager (apparently a middle-schooler) is also infected. But state health officials report no known contacts with patients in Texas.
