the greatest "Infowars Parody" was adult swim's TruthPoint, invented by @dril.bsky.social and myself we've retained the IP, so the onion guys are allowed to help us revive that program. would love to work with them 😉

With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant. snyder.substack.com/p/vance-in-g...

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

These people will bring suffering and death to Americans. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/h...

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

Some of the names have changed since I wrote this last November, but the central reality is, sadly, upon us. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

He’s wrong about everything, and thinks he’s right about everything. Hard to tell which is worse. The war will end when Russia decides no longer to fight. The US could make that happen with a few simple policies. Instead the Trump administration offers ridiculous analysis and pathetic excuses.

Russia does this for many reasons, but one of them is to show that Putin owns Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...

If life was a video game I would sneak around at night and stab all the sleeping people in town BUT interestingly enough I would never do that IRL

Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

Vance votes to kill Appalachia. Which is what he always promised to do. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/b...

Musk’s father, in Moscow at the invitation of the leading Russian fascist, called for reconciliation between his son and Trump. english.nv.ua/amp/musk-was...

"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep

Never put off telling people what they mean to you, because sometimes you might miss the chance. 😢

I can't believe JD Vance killed the pope

"Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management." snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Lawlessness and shamelessness.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Aw gee whiz my stocks!

5pm ET, hearing on Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act and the defiance of court order. The public can listen by telephone. Let the number of callers show we are paying attention.

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

Trump's gonna start charging homeless people rent.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible" The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today. snyder.substack.com/p/appeasemen...

It's not perfect, but when this game slaps, it slaps hard. #NoMan'sSky

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Valuable reasoning here. Worth adding: when Musk and Trump make government fail, they will then try to blame and punish chosen enemies. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/o...

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I just want to say huge grats to @alanresnick.bsky.social for the new show!
