Timothy Snyder is a trustworthy, informed thought leader about what’s going on in American politics.
Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic.

Rebecca Solnit launched a newsletter. 🕯️🔦💡🌈❤️
Launched a newsletter YESTERDAY and I'm not only posting essays there, but also trying to do some of the news aggregation there I used to do on Facebook. Like this. meditations-in-an-emergency.ghost.io/week-three-t...
Week Three: The Pushback
I think of this as primarily a site for more thoughtful essayistic stuff but I was doing one of those news roundup in-the-moment things I do on FB and thought I should maybe try doing it here.
Right ...

Can you spare some $$$$ to support Black families impacted by LA fires?
It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.
Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned.
This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov.
We must keep fighting for women’s rights.
