They open the twenty chapters of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Millions of you, around the world, have put these lessons to good use; it has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I am delighted to have this special chance now to share the lessons again. I was honored when John, a wise advocate for civil discourse and civic engagement, volunteered to read them aloud." https://snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-lessons-read-by-john-lithgow

Jeff JarvisI've been begging ZeitOnline editor Jochen Wegner to translate and open their stellar coverage of America's fall for Americans. Here is a fine example: A European Declaration of Independence from America. Highly recommended. Vielen Dank, Jochen, mein Freund.

Kim Perales"DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People."
Musk’s #DOGE looks for evidence at the Social Security Admin to support its claim that there could be millions of dead people receiving public benefits.
Two sworn statements filed in fed court late Wed show that the SSA has staffed up in recent weeks to include 4 special govt employees & 6 more DOGE staffers on loan from other departments.

Senator McCormick,
You use the deficit as a shield to justify cuts that will hollow out protections of ordinary people. But you could also lower the deficit by voting to let the 2017 tax cuts for you and your mega donors expire instead.
I understand the Republicans plan is to pass more tax cuts instead of continuing our needed programs. The deficit won’t be any smaller when you’re done.
Where I come from that’s called a “bait and switch” or, more simply, a scam.
I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! 5 calls a day! Let’s goooo!
@GottaLaff Laffy, please put this out. Can't access my Social Security Account. Neither can any of my friends. When I first tried, got this message, then just a blank page. Also reports that phone lines to senators are down.
