"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...

Trump used the official White House account to post this on #GoodFriday. As a devout Christian, I am disgusted with something so cruel on the day Christ was tortured and crucified. Furthermore, to use the phrase “He’s never coming back” two days before Easter seems targeted at believers.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a father, a husband, and a union worker. The Trump administration kidnapped him in an IKEA parking lot while his 5-year-old son watched in the backseat of the car. But he should have never been taken.

Despite what the Trump administration wants the courts to believe, speaking your mind is not illegal.

Watching @aoc.bsky.social speak live to the crowd in Folsom, CA on YouTube right now. I'm sorry I couldn't make it in person. She's a very inspirational person. I will fight oligarchy alongside her! "This isn't Trump country; it is OUR country!"

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

I know Cory Booker has done something great here because rightwing trolls are working overtime to downplay it.

Breaking Thurmond's record while talking about the Civil Rights leaders being called home is an incredible moment in America. This is one for the history books.

Keep holding their feet to the fire, @schiff.senate.gov. Don't let this story die. They will inevitably do something else ridiculous in the next days, weeks, months just to get us all off this subject. This administration is criminally negligent. Don't let up on this!

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

This is a reminder to members of Congress that cabinet officials in the executive branch CAN be impeached, and that this is a power which resides with the legislative branch. Proceedings began against Mayorkas for far less than what Hegseth has done.
