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.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

We’re in shock and disappointment now. Let’s not crawl into a hole and hide. Now is the time to be part of the resistsnce, work to recover democracy, be active in the resistance making demands of our states Attornies General and the courts system. Watch Michael Popock on LeagalAF. Stay involved.

A fair question.

Make it make sense.

That resistance, which Russian political and media elites cannot understand, is grounded in the simple notion that Ukrainians citizens should choose their leaders. snyder.substack.com/p/gratitude-...

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Massive protests in Belgrade, Serbia against corruption and calling on the pro-kremlin President Vučić and his government to step down. #SerbiaProtests

Why the "Mump Regime"? For a new world we need new words. Facing the coming Musk-Trump regime, it will not be enough to rely on the standard terms ("administration," "presidency", and the like). That normalizes the abnormal. snyder.substack.com/p/why-is-mus...
