important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Slept in my U2 tshirt and still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

"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...

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Jesus, I feel this in my soul.

I cannot even begin to fathom how tired Black people must be because I am really tired of white people and Im white.

If you want a general strike we need at least 10 million people to commit to ensure a successful action. The numbers are still too low. Use a burner email and name if needed to sign. Sign here: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #GeneralStrike

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

All schools should be required to teach skills that benefit individuals & the nation. How to prepare taxes. How to change a tire / spark plug. How to bake bread. How to successfully charge and prosecute a white man for crimes. Etc.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer. Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

The team at @votersoftomorrow.org set up a one-click email to all Democratic Senators who are considering voting for this CR. You can use it here 👇 win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, when’s your next town hall? The people you betrayed would like to have a word.

Great advice that I should also take.

The wins feel so important now.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

You should listen to the @dailybeanspod.bsky.social instead. News with swearing, and absolutely ZERO Scott Jenningses. Music by They Might Be Giants. Hosted by me and @dgcomedy.bsky.social. Who could ask for anything more?

Thomas Jefferson hired lots of black people. But he didn't pay them. And he raped some. Great "values."

That’s one of Elmo’s rolling trash cans right there. Fuck you and your Swasticar.

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

When The Economist roasts you (literally), shit is baaaaaad.

I cannot reemphasize this enough. Also, have the name and/or number of a local criminal attorney on your phone (if you are able to afford one). Put it there for future use. You don’t already have to be a client to give them a call when needed.

I’m the child of an abusive, mentally-ill alcoholic. I was trained for this.

“The American President”

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Call to Action: Nationwide General Strike incoming. At least 11 million people are needed to pledge, that's nearly 3.5% of the US population. When the number hits 11 million it's time to strike. Spread widely. Pledge today: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #USprotests

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

I have been the one to break my husband’s innocence about the rule of law and what it means to be an American right now, and I hate them all for this.

Be very careful if you are thinking about participating.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.
