Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

I read *On Tyranny* by @timothysnyder.bsky.social on a flight last night. Sobering and insightful. If you’re feeling helpless right now buy one or check it out from your local library. Because doing nothing right now is not an option.

My aunt died at 37 from cervical cancer. I’m glad science has shifted the likelihood of this happening to others.
