Image: Page 34 from Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny: 20 lessons from the 20th century” graphic edition with illustration by Nora Krug. Illustration: cartoon of a log cabin with smoke coming from the chimney and a woman’s face peering out the curtained front window. There is a pine tree out front and a forest behind in the distance. The field in front of the cabin has 5 dirt lines with armed men popping out from the ground at those lines at various stages. The first just shows a cowboy hat visible above the dirt. The next has a head emerged with a helmet and chin strap. The next has a sun hat-wearing man holding a rifle on a shoulder strap emerging up to his elbow. The fourth is a man with a rifle strapped to his back both arms fully emerged and one leg lifted up to climb out. He has a narrow white beard and a civil war era style military cap. The last is a fully emerged running man with narrow brown beard wearing camo holding his rifle at the ready. Text: [Lesson] 6. Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with the guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the unofficial police and military intermingle, the end has come.

His legacy of shame continues and his deceit is revealed in these historic photographs. What a vile impact he has had as chief Justice during this age of disgusting magatism.
Screenshot of article from Jewish Insider: As questions mount about the detention and attempted deportation of a Turkish Tufts University student last week, the Anti-Defamation League, in something of a shift, is publicly raising concerns about due process violations in the Trump administration’s campaign to deport foreign students who engaged in antisemitic and pro-Hamas activity on American college campuses. After offering early praise for the ICE detention of Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil last month, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt is now urging the federal government to exercise caution. Greenblatt is asking the Trump administration for greater transparency as it pursues further deportations, arguing that standing up for Jewish students does not require trampling on the rights of others. “Jewish students need to be protected. They should be valued as much as anyone else,” Greenblatt told Jewish Insider in an interview on Wednesday. “But on the other hand, protecting them shouldn’t require us to shred the norms that we use to protect other people. I don’t think it’s either or. I think it can be both and.”
