good advice from Timothy Snyder, who is very very smart. When Democrats take over Congress, they must do something!

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Will it actually make any difference if Democrats take control of Congress after the midterms? Historian and expert on authoritarianism Timothy Snyder shares his thoughts.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it.

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

As soon as tomorrow, the House could hold a final vote on the MAGA spending bill that would give $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. We’ve kept funding for Trump’s secret police blocked since January — and we need to flood our representatives with calls and emails to keep it that way.

Already at least $1.4B richer since taking office, Trump is now suing the IRS for a jaw-dropping $10B over the leak of his tax returns. As he exploits the presidency for self-enrichment and retribution, millions are still struggling with the soaring cost of living. Priorities.
