In this interview (55min in), Snyder warns that the months leading up to November could involve anti-democratic tactics, including efforts resembling coup-style recruitment, and urges Americans to stay alert and organized.

Timothy Snyder also discusses with Katie Couric the fall of Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power and what it could mean for American democracy. They discussed how protest movements and grassroots organizing helped Hungary’s opposition succeed and why civic engagement matters in the U.S. The conversation also examined the rise of Christian nationalism within the Republican Party and concerns about corruption tied to the Trump movement.

University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce.

Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse:

Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Urgent Call!


Today—on Earth Day, of all days—the U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on legislation that would gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA), sacrificing the future of our ecosystems for the short-term profit of a powerful few.
This bill is not abstract—it will cause real, irreversible damage. It threatens the most vulnerable species, destabilizes entire ecosystems, and undermines the natural systems that sustain human life. This is an immediate and profound risk not just to wildlife, but to our environmental and national security.
There is still time to act. Urge the House to reject this dangerous legislation and stand for the protection and recovery of our nation’s biodiversity.
Call your U.S. Representative now and demand a “NO” vote on the ESA Amendments Act of 2025 (H.R. 1897).
U.S. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

Great 4-star review for "Angels Unawares".

" In a climate in which the language of hospitality has been systematically evacuated from immigration discourse — replaced with the lexicon of invasion, of burden, of existential threat — the film's quiet, unflinching insistence on the dignity of the stranger feels less like art criticism and more like a moral act, resonating far beyond the gallery walls or cathedral squares in which Schmalz's bronzes live. Rossier has made a film as elegant as it is necessary. "

The article warns that older investors are especially vulnerable and urges families to recognize cult-like manipulation tactics to help protect loved ones from financial loss.

At 60+, you’re the preferred target with the highest loss of roughly $83,000 per victim, while younger audiences remain the largest adopters.
