“Democracy is not a noun – democracy is a verb,” says historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social. If you think democracy is something outside of you, it’s already lost, says Snyder. “The crucial thing is to do something.” And remember—we’re all in this together. #Velshi
‘Democracy is a verb’: Timothy Snyder on why the fight begins with you
Historian Timothy Snyder reminds us that the fight for democracy has always begun with ordinary Americans—through civil disobedience, economic pressure, and creative acts of resistance. “Democracy is not a noun; democracy is a verb,” he says. If you think democracy is something outside of yourself, it’s already been defeated. Snyder stresses that resistance isn’t one-size-fits-all. It ranges from small, everyday actions to bigger, riskier actions. “The crucial thing is to do something,” he says. “We also have to recognize that it’s not on any one of us to solve the whole thing. Each of us does a little bit—and together, that changes the whole landscape.”

Canada’s Reckoning with U.S. Democratic Collapse
This is not a boycott. It’s a call for Canada to rethink trade, culture, and sovereignty amid America’s democratic backslide.

Without Congress's consent, our Constitution says, no federal officeholder can accept “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” These deals seem to put Trump in direct violation of that clause. Via @popular.info @juddlegum.bsky.social
Trump promised no new business deals with foreign governments. He lied.
His family's real estate deals put the president in direct conflict with the Constitution.

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.
