Please forgive me if I keep re-posting this, from time to time. It's just so good, like a poem to live by. Shakespeare would have reposted it, and even Dylan Thomas would have raised a glass. Tyranny is very, very bad, here is how to hold out against it. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

There will be no restoration of a constitutional republic until he is not only removed from power but repudiated as having never legitimately held it. The system simply can't fit back together again without that. You can't shatter the foundation to this degree and then try to rebuild on top of it.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

HEMMER: Is Gitmo sill open? STEPHEN MILLER: It's wide open HEMMER: Can you tell me how many immigrants are there? STEPHEN MILLER: No, I cannot. That's operationally sensitive information. But I want to be very clear. We've been living through a hoax. Nobody has been mistakenly sent to El Salvador

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

I was at a conference last week in California where we were missing a few speakers. One of them was denied entry to the US and another one was fired from the federal government right before the conference. Normal times.

We’re seeing something amazing in phone-free classrooms: more conversation, eye contact, and laughter. When we remove phones from the equation, kids reconnect — with each other and with themselves. That’s what my UNPLUGGED Act is all about.

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

A reporter just asked #Trump what he meant, when he said the bombing of Ukraine by Russia yesterday was a mistake. His rambling reply, blaming Zelensky for starting the war and also apportioning blame to Biden and Putin, was so remarkable, that the BBC just played it all, on their main PM news slot.
