Last night after millions of workers marched around the world, we held a vigil in San Jose with our partners to honor and remember the immigrant workers who have been disappeared because of their precarious status or been attacked for using their right to speak up on behalf of those who cannot.🧵

10 ways Trump has changed Alaska in 100 days
It’s difficult to quantify how Trump has changed Alaska in the first 100 days of his term. But here’s what we know.

America is now deporting children with cancer. This is what white supremacy does to a nation.
There are a ton of great movies and TV shows out right now, many of them super relevant to the, uh… *unique* US political climate. Like Andor, which is showing some teeth in a second season that’s a vivid metaphor for America’s descent into authoritarianism.
Star Wars’ ‘Andor’ Season 2 Depicts the Banality of American Fascism
The franchise’s Disney era has been defined by toothless politics, but “Andor” Season 2 is a vivid metaphor for America’s descent into authoritarianism.

Due process is firmly enshrined in the constitution. It means the government must give you notice & an opportunity to be heard BEFORE divesting you of your liberty or property—every time. There are no qualifiers. There are no terms & conditions. There are no exceptions for “illegals” or “bad guys.”
@wajali.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social I live in Cordova, Alaska, a small fishing town in Prince William Sound. Your interview this week inspired my April 19 protest sign! #NoKings (Wish I was a better artist😊)
Cordova, Alaska “NO KINGS” rally! Lovely weather, yummy cookies, postcard writing, and most of all —community. @50501movement.bsky.social #NoKings #Alaska #HandsOff
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Entering the world post-college is already a challenging transition. This major government upheaval is cruel
Teen Vogue@teenvogue.com · 2y agoAs President Trump seeks to dismantle whole agencies, college seniors have been terminated from internships and others have had job offers rescinded after the administration froze hiring across the federal government.
Recent cuts to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could end programs that are “critical” for commercial fishing safety in Alaska, according to the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association.

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation. It’s an essential step in the process.
So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff
Cordova, Alaska had about 115 people marching in the wind and rain! Afterwards we had a postcard writing session for folks to share their concerns with our congressional delegation. #handsoff

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967. Yes, trillion. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024. We must ensure fair wages for all.
The system is propped up by a political economy that creates a class of disposable person: people on the margins, deprived of power over their own lives.

It’s hard to overstate the rank greed at play here. What we’re witnessing is sociopathic indifference & disregard for humanity & social norms. All they care about is dismantling the regulatory state so they can self-deal with impunity. Anything else that happens (good or bad) is random & collateral.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...
