"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...

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

We can not allow this to happen again! People just stood there and did nothing to help Teresa as she was being wrestled to the ground by unidentified men. We stand together, and we protect our brothers and sisters under attack for speaking at a Town Hall meeting. Stand your ground

The coup is ramping up with Trump and Musk working hand in hand to take control of the US government in their quest to seize dictatorial power. USAID, dismantled DOJ, captured FEC, FBI, CIA, Medicare, Medicaid, GSA, OPM, Treasury, EPA, DOE, DOL, CDC, HHS, NOAA, all under attack. We are on day 18

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

According to Google if you lose your home business, you may be able to file for unemployment or other aide. Be sure to check with your state if you lost your Tik Tok Shop. #tiktokshop #tiktok #business
