When the WH twists the arms of media NOT to interview an author with a new book out, it shows they fear the message. No wonder. I 1st met @rweingarten.bsky.social in 1987, when I was press secretary to the NYS Senate Dems. She was a force then. She still is. BUY the book, folks. The truth matters.

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itโ€™s important, itโ€™s urgentโ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.
