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 urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

I was thinking the exact same thing 😑

I have never felt so much pride in my former home state as I have in 2025. Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov for being a beacon of light and safety for Americans 💙

Is anyone else out there thinking that surely *someone* had to have been working behind the scenes to add Goldberg to that group chat?? How is this administration THAT conveniently incompetent that they accidentally slipped their own war plans to a journalist? Please tell me it was an inside job. 👀

"In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them...

"If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed-if all records told the same tale-then the lie passed into history and became truth"

Reading '1984' for the first time in 2025 is a surreal experience.

Which lines resonated with y'all?

"We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it"

"If you want to know who rules over you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize"

This is actress Bea Arthur, known for her role as Dorothy in the Golden Girls. She was one of the first women to join the Women’s Reserve during WWII. Trump has removed her from the DOD website.

REPOST if you are proud to stand with our iconic Golden Girl against Trump! 💛

Don’t be fooled by this prick.

And of course that's not even the whole story, they all conveniently forgot to mention the part where they repeatedly misgendered and insulted the staff 😑

Image of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a former Supreme Court Justice and founder of the ACLU Women's Rights Project, with a quote attributed to her reading "We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, We, the people."

As co-founder of our Women's Rights Project and a Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legal work left our country forever changed.

Today, on what would've been her 92nd birthday, we the people honor her legacy by voicing our dissent.

After doing some research, I understand the president makes a proclamation every year for Women's History Month so I see where I was confused. However, I still stand by my initial reaction of frustration because what has Trump done to help women? This whole scene feels very wrong coming from him 🤨

YouTube video by The Daily Wire Trump Designates A New ‘Women’s History Month’

I'm sorry but hasn't March been Women's History Month for years now???? Did this man really sign an executive order declaring March 2025 as Women's History Month?
Someone please help me understand what I'm missing here 😑

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty.

Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance.

Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

Funny, how "I will fix things on day one" quickly became "Please, please give me NINE MONTHS to show any signs of progress!!!"

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
