"On Tyranny" will be #2 on the NYT paperback and #13 in the combined e-book and paperback this week. I am glad it’s useful. New hardback is just out. And free posters to use and share are here.

We're really underrating how much male grievance is the driving political force in the Trump 2 era. And it's not just zoomers who listen to Andrew Tate.
We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. He lacks empathy, conscience, morality, and remorse for the wrongs he commits. He is a pathological liar. He has severe and destructive personality disorders—narcissism, sociopathy, and paranoia. He speaks at the level of a fifth-grader, at best. He can barely spell and do simple math. And his already limited mental capacity deteriorates with each passing day.
I take back everything positive I said about David Hogg. He clearly has terrible political instincts. Jasmine Crockett is a radioactive figure for Democrats outside of their already-secure base.
The myopic view of the ~ serious people in the media ~ that Trump's illegal actions are a "blow" to the institutions he targets and not a "blow" to the basic values we believe in as a nation is part of why those values are being erased.
So we have
* DOJ investigating ActBlue
* FTC investigating Media Matters
* DHS targeting Harvard
* the Executive Office going after Dem-allied law firms
* A US Attorney charing a Dem lawmaker with a crime.
* FBI arresting a liberal judge.
Dr. Jordan Peterson was very outspoken against U.S. support for Ukraine.
He is not a U.S. citizen.
If the Biden administration had revoked his visa, arrested & detained him, and kicked him out of our country for "undermining US foreign policy," conservatives and Republicans would have screamed bloody murder.
But now, when Trump does something very similar, they support it.
Interesting!
@aidnmclaughlin@AlexThomp@jaketapper They're mad Biden never gave them juicy scandals and gossip on the daily. Which is why they're more than happy to talk about a former President, and not the current one who at the very least is exhibiting the same troubling "decline" that these two seemed to be so worked up about
@aidnmclaughlin@AlexThomp@jaketapper To this day, neither Jake Tapper or Alex Thompson have provided any hard evidence that 1, Biden was suffering from cognitive decline, and 2, that there was an effort to cover up this supposed decline. This biggest piece of "evidence" they have, is what Clooney said.
@aidnmclaughlin@AlexThomp@jaketapper They're also able-ist as fuck, and are critical of the fact that there was talk Biden might've needed a wheelchair in a second term. Ummmmm, FDR? Heard of him?
President's don't get "personal time." There's not like a magic suit you wear when you are doing official business and one where you are just Donald from Queens.
If I am murdered by someone shrieking 'Free Palestine' feel free to politicize my death and mock politicians who "condemn" it without naming the movement that spawned it because they're fellow travelers.
This is an ass-covering exercise, not advocacy for Jewish safety.
