20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow
YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

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. It’s important, it’s urgentβ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

Stop saying β€œif there is a next time.”

There WILL be a next time because of US.

Trump Will Hate This Good News, And I’m Cool With That Onward.

A petition calling for Trump’s impeachment, run by the group Free Speech For People, has now passed 250,000 signatures. To be clear, I fully support the immediate impeachment and removal of both Trump and Vance. As should everyone.

Thank you to @daveminca.bsky.social for the telephone town hall. It’s clear you are passionate about what’s happening, and want to stop it.

You can do more. Call out the Republicans who are afraid of being primaried. Push your way into the areas DOGE are at, and make them arrest you.

Do. More.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,

Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.

The reply email inbox for this β€œwhat did you do last week” email is HR@opm.gov, so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Here’s a podcast I just did that was a lot of fun. We covered some pretty interesting topics, including the alt-right pipeline from videogames to Rogan to white nationalism.

Thousands in Midwestern GOP Districts Attend Sanders' First Stops on Tour to Fight Oligarchy | Common Dreams Senator Bernie Sanders is on a mission to fight oligarchy and empower the people. With a powerful message against Trumpism and billionaire influence, he's rallying Americans to stand up for democracy....

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

β€œMore than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

Beyond parody.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.

People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.

Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Vance and Musk Attack German Consensus on Nazis and Speech Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk have challenged decades-long approaches to political extremism that were designed to prevent another Hitler.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like.

Stand tall against right-wing extremism.
