Yes! Today I’m celebrating all the people who have created beauty despite all the carnivorous systems lined up against them. Let’s be patriots of the better world that is to come.

We must finally defeat the submerged supremacist lie at the heart of our country so that it cannot rise again. Let’s not waste our time with anything else.

We can tell a better story. "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." — Arundhati Roy

I wrote about the way our stories inform our reality, the enduring popularity of evolving supremacist narratives even as its practitioners fall into disrepute, and the need to understand story if we are to defeat story. www.the-reframe.com/healing/

With less than a two-day supply available to support those in need, @memorialblood.bsky.social has declared a regional blood emergency and is asking for your help. A single blood donation can save three lives. Visit bit.ly/4dHjNze to sign up and find more information!

"If we hold our support contingent, we are instead asking other people to perform their oppression to our liking; to take a beating for our own comfort, and then deciding whether or not we liked the performance enough to continue extending our support." www.the-reframe.com/are-you-brav...

What do domestic abusers and authoritarian leaders have in common? On “The Opinions,” M. Gessen speaks with Rachel Louise Snyder about the parallels between domestic violence and authoritarian politics — and how the Trump administration has normalized violence in its language and actions.

Healing our nation will require a confrontation with the truth: we are sick with supremacy. We must root it out.

“Fix your hearts and live.”

My god, this thread by a Minnesota lawyer who handling pro bono cases for DHS detainees is horrifying. DOJ's complicity in ignoring court orders shouldn't be shocking anymore yet somehow it still is.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

What is wealth for? Billionaires are not seeking simple luxuries, or even political influence. They want the power to abuse others with impunity. This is the supremacist rot at the core of capitalism.

Let’s imagine real liberation and make it happen.

Same.

Absolutely correct: “If our authorities exist for the protection of the people, then the laws should exist for the protection of the people, not the protection of authorities. If the law exists for the protection of authorities, then the authorities do not exist for the protection of the people.”

Nobody’s apologizing for being white and nobody’s asking for that. This abusive, criminal administration will never take responsibility for the harm they are causing unless we make them.

A.R. Moxon gets it. As a social worker, it’s sickening to see the abusive tactics I’ve seen in families at the micro level be deployed at the macro level.

“In this shameful careless age, we can and should and must choose to not be careless people.”

This is brilliant!

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project. www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine 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...

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were. But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk." www.the-reframe.com/acceptable-l...

I wrote about the Third Way memo and its list of forbidden words. Comparing the alleged desire for simple persuasive talk and the way those who want it never seem to arrive at the simplest most persuasive "talk" there is: principled action. www.the-reframe.com/simple-talk-2/

I am 100% here for “breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, and pursuing everything.”

“All people—all people—are unique and irreplaceable works of art carrying unsurpassable worth, who possess inherent dignity, and who deserve equal consideration under the law and access to basic human need, simply because they exist.”

Imagine you have a friend. Let’s call him Rick Reasonable. Now imagine you have an enemy. Let’s call your enemy Bart B. Oilingwater. Bart is a real piece of crap. Whenever he sees you, he throws boiling water at you. www.the-reframe.com/boiling-water/

Buddha said, “Be a light unto yourself,” which is about all I’m capable of today.

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that. www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

I want my life to to result in a profit of joy.

Let’s quit accepting their frame.

I wrote about leaders who don't (or won't) lead, the death of a political order unsuited for these dark times, what the new one should look like, and the importance of playing to win. New visions for a new and better America: Solidarity, leadership, reframing. www.the-reframe.com/the-beached-...

"Supremacy is our foundational culture; as such we are founded in it, too. If we want to counter the culture, we will need to be the counterculture. We'll need to build it." Global human family before boundary. Plenty before scarcity. Justice before convenience" www.the-reframe.com/building-cou...

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Not many movies can hold my unflinching attention for nearly two hours, and make me both laugh out loud and gasp with admiration multiple times. Kudos to the filmmakers. linktr.ee/hundredsofbe...
