Someone started a GoFundMe for the ICE officer who shot Renee Good. Besides being morally repellent, this is also a direct violation of GoFundMe's terms of service. Please report the fundraiser and share this widely. Link and information in comments.

Every word of this. "There will come a time in the not-too-distant future when all of us will be asked by our kids or grandkids what we did when the federal government went far too far. Every one of us better have an answer. And it better be a damn good one." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Rich folks, take note. This is the way to do it. 🏆

Please read and take action! 👇

"The all-Republican Arizona Corporation Commission's plan zeroes out the budget for incentives for residential customers to make improvements to their homes, like installing energy-efficient appliances, and says homebuilders will receive no benefits." NO. BENEFITS.

This is food for thought, and definitely worth a read. "For Americans to defeat fascism, one thing must change: Our love affair with convenience." open.substack.com/pub/andrawat...

City of Phoenix policy "does not permit political content" 👏🏼 Other airports are refusing to play it as a violation of the Hatch Act What's your hometown airport doing? Thank them if they're holding firm — and hold them accountable if they're not www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

"Today the president is taking credit for a cease-fire in Gaza. But who, in America, was first in calling for that exact thing? Students on campuses. And what happened to them? They were banned from their own public spaces, all over the country." snyder.substack.com/p/gaza-and-p...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

US citizen, carrying proof they refused to believe. Tick infested facility, was not allowed to shower for 23 days, lost 26 pounds for not being given enough food, not allowed a phone call. "Immigration authorities are not supposed to detain US citizens." No kidding. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-citi...

🎯 "Today's largest force in US politics is antiestablishment fury at a system rigged by big corporations & the wealthy to get them even more wealth & power. The corporate Dem establishment is Dems' biggest problem, standing in the way of a blueprint for the future." open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Paging @gallego.senate.gov

Wow. Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory is revealing some Democratic Party insiders for who they really are.

“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

The job of a good message is not to say what is popular. It is to make popular what we need said.

THIS. Voters want representatives they can believe in - who inspire them and give them confidence they'll fight for them. Not squishy, fascist-lite politicians. Democrats' approval ratings are in the toilet because they're spending too much time trying to race Republicans to the bottom.

This story is @weratedogs.com worthy. Good dog. 🥰🥰 www.npr.org/2025/04/16/g...

You are either pro-democracy or pro-authoritarian. Being "neutral" functionally means being pro-authoritarian.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The first rule of resisting tyranny is "Do not obey in advance." This cowardly behavior from the UA is appalling & infuriating. Our universities are "hubs of cultural dynamism in a state that could otherwise be a backwater." Admin needs to buck up & act like it. tucson.com/news/local/s...

"Tesla’s value remains wildly inflated because people still believe Musk matters more than he does. Break that illusion, and both his influence and his empire begin to wobble." It's time to push our non-fascist electeds to leave the Bad Place. open.substack.com/pub/anandwri...

😤 🗣️ Just when you thought #AZLeg Republicans couldn't sink any lower, they cooked up an idea to strip money from vulnerable families and tear disabled kids from their homes. WE HAVE GOT TO SPEAK OUT. Here's how 👇

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

"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...

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Not just an unconstitutional overreach: "Slashing funding for our libraries and museums is a short-sighted and destructive act by an authoritarian government that shows no regard for the pursuit of knowledge, truth, or our shared heritage." 🔥 Thank you @azagmayes.bsky.social #HandsOff

A great read: "When the Nazis occupied Denmark in the 1940s, noncooperation was near-total. No one remembered how to run the railroad. Teachers left school early to tend their gardens. Factory workers slowed or stopped production altogether." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/resi...

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Think the Trump regime's swath of destruction won't touch you? Think again. My oldest kid's college roommate gets grant funding for her education. This week, the new regime made it disappear, & roomie's rent payment bounced. Everyone in the house now has to pay rent via MONEY ORDER. /1

I love leaving voice mails for my senators where I say things like "the USPS is very important to our country" as if I'm helping a small child with a book report or describing our civilization to an alien

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

"First they came for public schools and I did not listen..."

The country survived Andrew Jackson, but he did massive damage, and a lot of people died. It's up to us to make sure that isn't the best case scenario this time around. No one is coming to save us. It's up to us.

Seen on my news and academic feeds today: "This is highly illegal!" "Where are the courts?" "Someone needs to arrest him/them!" "The military needs to oust them!" "WHERE ARE THE DEMS?" This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us. We are all we've got.

"(47) is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

If you're trying to keep your heart focused on the work that you're best-placed to do, it is, unfortunately, a great day to use this procedure @kateschapira.bsky.social and I worked on. I'm going to add a few ideas and songs that I find helpful in this process. Thanks to all who contributed ideas!
