"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...

I’m waiting for a town hall to start with Oregon’s attorney general and the speaker of the OR House. But mainly I’m here because it’s being held in one of the old PoliSci classrooms on the U of O campus. Haven’t been in 180 PLC in almost 40 years.

Local TV news reporter goes to Hands Off protest of 3,000+ and finds the only MAGA guy at the whole event and tries to interview him (for “balance” I guess) and causes the only physical altercation of the entire day. Do better, KEZI and Noah Chavez. www.kezi.com/news/anti-tr...

“When I grow up, I dream of spending my days screwing tiny screws,” said absolutely no one, ever. The part that we all should zero in on is the: "It's going to be automated." It's a financialized play using tariffs to remake manufacturing. Many of the new jobs will be filled by robots. 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

It's not just the biggest peacetime tax increase in US history. It's also the most regressive tax increase in US history.

If you were deliberately trying to hobble the United States and bring its century-long era of international Influence to a close, you would do exactly what Trump is doing right now.

www.yahoo.com/news/first-t... There is a severe drought here in the southwest but also severe drought in Mexico. My thoughts, we have tariffs on produce and then production cuts due to severe drought, then supply/demand will drive costs higher We the consumer will pay !! Wtg trump. #MomSky

Congress can override these tariffs tomorrow. Congress can tell Trump, “no.” Congress can save us from economic hardship. Congress. Congress. Congress.

Can anyone tell me how many folks are on the Senate floor and in the Gallery right now watching this historic moment with Sen. @booker.senate.gov? I’m hoping all Democratic senators are on the floor and the Gallery is full of family, friends and media.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

Members of Oregon District 2 Indivisible arranged flowers then delivered bouquets to local federal workers. BLM, Forest Service, Social Security, VA , Post Office, NPR & PBS offices got flowers on a Thursday afternoon. Flowers were locally sourced and vases were re-cycled of course. It's Oregon!

Elise Stefanik withdrawing her nomination so NY doesn’t have a chance to elect a Democrat in three months to fill that vacant seat is reassuring. It means Trump believes free and fair elections will exist at least three months from now.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Georgia Republicans are considering a bill that would punish abortion patients as murderers—with women subject to the death penalty. But this was the headline at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This is exactly what I mean when I talk about normalization
