Trump’s peace plan for Russia and Ukraine is as absurdly cruel as a wedding plan for a rapist and his victim.

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

The paperback edition of #OnFreedom is out today. It preserves a positive argument about how to build a better country and has been updated to account for what has happened in 2025. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

“We are now 24 years past 9/11—and it’s inevitable that our memory of that shocking event…will grow fainter. Perhaps you’ll take a moment to reflect on your own experience and how the world seemed different—surely less fearful—before the terrible destruction.” www.americaamerica.news/p/memories-o...

Breakthrough the noise: This step in DC is a pilot project for militarizing other American streets. President Trump just said so.⬇️ Even when DC violent crime is down 26 percent. Reminder of August leaked memo (via @gregsargent.bsky.social): newrepublic.com/article/1987...

When the Cascadia fault ruptures, the area of impact in the Pacific Northwest will cover some 140,000 square miles and some seven million people. Revisit Kathryn Schulz’s 2014 report.

This 20 seconds is pure art. It’s like the essence of Trump - the fraud, the lies, the simplistic idiocy - is reduced to its singularity. Nothing in high office, anywhere, will ever be this stupid again.

Everyone needs to see these photos from today: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/millions-p...

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release. I've posted this photo to alter your brain biochemistry for the better 🌿

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Flippers up! 👊 🐧 🔥

This seems like a good time to remind everybody that Trump, in 2016, refused to "take off the table" the use of nuclear weapons by the USA on Europe. Here's PolitiFact trying to rationalize his gibberish back then: www.politifact.com/factchecks/2... #TrumpIsInsane #Trumpregime #GOP #Trump

Our students studying abroad at Harvard were told to transfer elsewhere this afternoon. Our Government is covering the costs of their new textbooks as they waddle into unknown territory.

🇷🇴 Romania has chosen. With the confirmation of Nicușor Dan’s victory in the presidential election, Romanian citizens have sent a clear and powerful message: for democracy, for the rule of law, and for a truly European future.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

OK, another cat post. The connection here is that most media coverage of Trump IS the chase of laser dots on the carpet.

🤔😱😓

Two backpacking German teenagers who had obtained ESTA approval from DHS were detained by CBP at the Honolulu airport, strip searched, jailed overnight, and ultimately deported to Japan because immigration officials weren’t satisfied with their lodging arrangements. beatofhawaii.com/why-these-ha...

Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

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.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.
