Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

History always has a lesson.

"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...

If there is ever a breach in the spacetime continuum, we’ll know where it began.

Wall Street traders on Trump tariffs: ‘Without doubt, we’re hitting a recession’

Christian "TheoBros" are building a tech utopia in Appalachia. What could go wrong?

Absolutely!

Had my buddy visit just now. He likes to fly overhead when I walk Chaco and Zia, keeping us company. Been friends for too many years to count. When Chaco was a puppy, he would dive bomb him. Now they are friends. #mountainlife

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

It won't stop there.

This whole "bullying Canada" business seems like a movie where a cocky young punk decides to abuse & demean the kindly elderly neighbor...only to discover the old man is some unstoppable war hero badass...

“My husband was kidnapped from our home, and it’s shameful that the US government continues to hold him because he stood for the rights and lives of his people.”

The gilded age gave rise to the movement that created an American tax that increased based on a citizens income. This was an intentional response to an out of control class of robber-barons. It’s time for another round.

Hundreds of federal buildings being put up for sale. Who is buying them? 🤔

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

"I wish I knew how to quit you"

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

🤔 No lies found in this mural. 😑

Lewis Black has some choice words for young people taking up all the early bird reservations.

Gary Peters, Tina Smith, and Jeanne Shaheen retiring is not selfish or cowardly— it is exactly what leaders would do. By retiring in a midterm cycle which is undoubtedly going to favor Democrats, they’re making way for a new generation of leadership. Congratulations to them all

Hey, sorry you lost your job and your 401K is getting wrecked. Good news is Trump bought a Tesla on national TV from his biggest donor and the richest guy in the world. Hope it helps.

NEW: The biggest DOGE-related layoffs are in and around Washington, D.C. In the week ending Feb. 22, unemployment claims in D.C. rose 25% from the week prior and were four times as high as one year earlier — and that’s only the beginning.

Chris Pappas, possibly New Hampshire’s next U.S. Senator, is also the congressman who overwhelmingly defeated Trump’s Press Secretary when she ran for Congress. She lost bigly.

Hey guys. I’ve taken some time off from my legal career to educate people on the U.S. Constitution, the legal system, separation of powers, and other areas of civics. Consider subscribing to my Substack or supporting me in some other way to help me keep going.

She is so bad at her job.

Now is the time for the real Spurs to stand up … but what is that exactly? | David Hytner

“Somebody has to stay to help clean up the mess that they’re most likely going to make,” a public health advisor on infectious diseases at the CDC said. “If you want to get rid of me, you’re basically going to drag me kicking and screaming out of here.”

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Corporate monopolies aren’t just bad for business — they’re bad for your wallet. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

Rupert Murdoch had to pay Dominion $787.5 million for knowingly broadcasting falsehoods. Given that, what qualifies a Fox anchor to talk about trust in the media?
