If you’re a teacher, professor, staff member, a parent, the time to organize is now. The Department of Education is being liquidated. Institutions are being intimidated. Administration is capitulating and collaborating. Students are being disappeared. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

That flag hangs in a Ukrainian brigade’s r&r house near the front in Kharkiv region, where I was visiting some infantrymen in September. I was proud to see it.

Zach thinks his dad's gotten swept up in conspiracy theories, while his father thinks Zach is the one who can't see the truth. So his dad writes out a list of 10 predictions, and they place a $10K bet — each trying to get the other to see once and for all who is right.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

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...

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Rachel Maddow tells Hakeem Jeffries directly: "It feels like we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled middle of the night autocratic power grab that is rendering Congress and policy irrelevant, and making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke." 25 min version: brittain.tech/maddow224.mp4

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

“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.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Authoritarianism is inherently strange. Trump’s worsening madness and Musk’s repulsive behavior is part of that, but also it all provides an opening for actual resistance. The backlash is coming. It’s on us to be ready when the moment arrives. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/sound-and-...
