The Logic of Destruction (And what to do about it) [Substack: Thinking About . . .;2.2.25]

Snyder is a Yale U. prof and an expert on authoritarianism and, also, on Ukraine. He has an article in the NYTimes today -somewhere (I can’t find it right now) - in which he compares riding on a train in Ukraine, where he is now, on his way to Zaporizhzha, to the wild train we Americans are riding. If I find it, I’ll put it here.

I’ve only recently joined Substack. Uh-oh. There’s a lot of interesting content there. I just saw 2 Dworkin Report articles I thought I’d put in here. Scott Dworkin gives the good news I need to hear and also reports on civil actions taking place around the country, things that I wouldn’t know about otherwise. Well, tbh, today’s the first time I’ve read his Dworkin Report.

Great News That’s Real Bad for Trump [The Dworkin Report (Substack);3.14.25]

Inside: Veterans protesting; Raskin encourages people to file FOIA requests concerning their private data and what’s up with it (a la doge). Governor Tim Walz on a tour of Town Halls around the country. And more. . . . for example the significance of the date 3/14, as a reference to the 14th amendment, section 3.

This one is a sort of pep talk. With facts.


Americans Prepare to RISE UP against Trump-Musk Regime | PoliticsGirl [4.1.25]

Blurb below:
“The Trump administration is actively seeking to destroy everything we know, but we can’t allow it. We need to fight back. Do more than we’re doing now. This is a nation built on causing a ruckus. So, that’s what the good citizens of America must do. We must”recommit to the principles of truth, justice and freedom and stand up and fight for them. Trump is waging a systemic war against facts, intelligence and the rule of law. Our elections and our very sense of agency and power within this nation are at stake. So week need to understand what’s happening and we need to oppose it. Join us and we talk about how.”

This is the Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Los Angeles right now. Over 35,000 people showed up to fight against Trump. This is a movement, not a moment.

Over 35,000 people attended the Bernie Sanders’ and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez Fighting Oligarchy rally in Los Angeles. I’m not sure of the exact date . . . This weekend, I guess.
