Getting older, just like you. More empathy, less apathy. Ask as many questions as you want and learn as much as you can. Be an active participant. Speak your mind. Take up space. (thoughts/views = my own.)

I will never forgive Isaiah Silva for taking Kurt's 1959 Martin D-18E from Frances Bean when they divorced.

"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...

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On Monday I made a tough decision. Today, I reaffirmed it. I'll have to finalize it in the coming days. It stings and I'm angry, however, I'm thankful to understand that self-care is a marathon not a sprint. Also, that change is often most needed when least wanted. I'm scared, but at the wheel.

“To lose one IRS director, Mr. Trump, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness. Three can only be considered incompetence.”

Michelle Wolf, an actual comedian, got walked out on for calling Sarah Huckabee Sanders "Aunt Lydia" at the WHCD in his first term, but our President talks like this and it's all giggles. I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome. I just hate abuse of privilege and lack of accountability.

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

I’ve gone out of my way for years to buy Tshirts that are made in US. Do you know where you most often find them? Festivals, fairs, concerts and events run by progressives. You know where you rarely find them? Being sold by ‘America First’ influencers & companies.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Rumor has it (not really) that the leader Mumble of the Heard and McDonald Island Penguins are requesting to trade dance lessons for tariff relief. Art of the deal and all that.

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. Yes, it's more difficult to get sign-ups and expensive to operate. But it's worth it. It has no corporate overlords. It is not dependent on investors. It only depends on you. If this is what you value, support it today. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Pretty sure one of the whole ideas behind Congress was to stop a mad king from doing inexplicable things on a whim. Seems like maybe they could use a stronger reminder.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

DoD press releases have quickly become a source of fascination for me. The language in these things is so consistently weird, all these puffed up little children pretending to be Seal Team 6 when they're talking about like hiring teachers or whatever. www.defense.gov/News/Release...

Right now, I hope Musk feels even a fraction as devastated as I did back in January. It won't change anything, but it'll expell a little negative energy in my personal universe. Small wins are still wins.
