The March to Fascism

April 1: An election day in Wisconsin and Florida.

Give yourself 10 minutes to either read or listen to Thinking About from Timothy Snyder.  Skeptic?  Okay.  Shelve it for the necessary 10 minutes.

Here is my March 29 post, published on Day 68 of the first 100 days.  I am reposting this because nearly 90 potential readers, 90% of them Yahoo and AOL addresses. did not receive the post “deferred due to unexpected volume or complaints”.  I have no idea what this was all about, or whether it will be repeated when I send this.  This is a first for me, there was no objectionable content, no complaints from anyone, and almost all returns were from the two groups of addresses above.  If anyone has any insights I’d appreciate hearing from you.  As I say, in all the years I’ve done this, this is the first time this has happened.

NOTE: I make an effort to be well informed, difficult with such a massive onslaught of  “Executive Orders” dismantling the democracy I’ve lived in my entire life.

Substack seems to be locus of many of my personally most reliable and credible and well-informed sources.  The ones I’ve come to rely on, as well as Timothy Snyder above, are these: Letters from an American, Prof Heather Cox Richardson; Civil Discourse, Joyce Vance; The Weekly Sift, Doug Morau (not substack); Lucid, Ruth Ben-Ghiat; Big Picture, George Takei.  Most are accessible free, but I strongly encourage paid subscription to those used regularly.  They are a service.  There are many more.  I’m purposely not including links.  They are all easily accessed.

The next months are crucial in what the future holds.  Don’t sit this out.  Stay well informed and involved.

from Flo: After I figured out how to do it, I listened to all of it! No April Fools here yet!
