So much to consider in this report, including: “feelings of insecurity and instability can make people more responsive to fear-based messaging, which could potentially influence their political and social choices.”

Columbus people: come participate in this demonstration of standing strong for human rights https://indivisiblecentralohio.org/events/hands-across-high-street

A message to the world: The United States is not represented by Trump. He acted unilaterally and unconstitutionally. He and his regime in power are not a representation of the American people, and we strongly condemn this attack. We want peace, and we will hold him and his enablers accountable.

So sad

So powerful to be speaking out together #nokings Yes, Columbus, OH started a day early. Energized and peaceful #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

"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...

Happy Earth Day! A good day to join the Lichen Pipeline celebrating symbiosis - and our parade on the OSU campus that marks the buried waterway on the South Oval. #ecoart

Sign of the day…

Creative events and a parade at the OSU campus in honor of Earth Day.

“Sounds from the Subterrarium” is an artwork that tracks and sonifies a population of springtails inside a custom-made terrarium. Springtails #collembola are important and adorable arthropods found in soils throughout the world. See video hypernatural.com/portfolio/so... #multispeciesart

This is a very clear explanation of why trans people are being targeted and why it matters. #giftarticle #nytimes www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/o...

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Solve addiction to simulation by purchasing another simulation? Saw this advertised in @nytimes.com For real. #nottheonion Are there better solutions than buying plastic rabbits?
