Timely reminder.
"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.

🧵 NEW: Is Britain really a high tax country?
Our collective tax bill is at its highest share of GDP since the 1940s

I asked my step dad if he’d heard of Chappell Roan. He said he thought he’d been there once… ‘lovely place in France’.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
