Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Stark contrast 🤦‍♀️

In June, officials at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) moved a live copy of the Social Security Administration’s Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT) into a cloud environment “without any independent security or oversight mechanisms in place,”

The ideological cancellation of $800 million of scientific research grants because they supposedly focused on DEI was just backed by the Supreme Court. This is horrific on so many levels.

Gavin Newsom: “Wake up America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. These guys are not screwing around. The most corrupt president in history. He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He is a lawless president. Wake up America.”

It’ll never not be insane that a rapist fraudster treasonous convicted felon with 34 felonies was given full totalitarian power of the govt whilst he complains about crime when he’s an actual criminal.

North Carolina gerrymandered its state for the 2024 election-giving Republicans a majority in the House They used it to pass Trump’s Big Ugly Bill In return, he refused to release $100 million in funds pre-approved to help NC victims of Hurricane Helene Because-for Trump-loyalty goes only one way

This is so great! It takes a village to raise up our youth. What an excellent example for communities. ❤️ I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭

Parts Of The Constitution Disappeared From Congress' Website 🔗 www.404media.co/constitution...

The vast majority of U.S. adults are at least somewhat stressed about the cost of groceries, a new poll finds, as prices continue to rise and concerns about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs are widespread.

My new humming bird feeder has brought in the birds! At least 3 have claimed it as theirs 😂

Good morning from the gang of bucks in my front yard. 🦌

Motherfucking wind farms…

I remember when this happened.

Exactly This…

It’s appalling that someone accused of predatory behavior holds power in the White House. Those who cover for him are complicit. The victims of this trafficking ring likely face daily trauma, watching him speak unchallenged on national media. America must do better.

These hacks are letting Donald Trump dismantle the Department of Education so future generations won't be smart enough to know how corrupt they were.

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

Trump has done nothing to make America great. Grocery prices are up. Rent is unbelievably high. Wages are stagnating. And people are losing their healthcare. This is a fucking disaster.

His face when he realised how stupid and racist he sounds...😏😅👇🏾

Trump’s cuts to public broadcasting leave 52 local Colorado stations staring at massive budget holes

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!

This stinks to high heaven.

Eat your greens says mama hen 🥬

This is so cool 😎

Melting silver today! #silver #meltingfurnace #metalsmith

Our unaccountable Supreme Court gave our unaccountable president the power to effectively end the Department of Education. And it did so without any explanation because the case came through its secretive shadow docket. SCOTUS is rubber-stamping Trump’s authoritarian regime.

This!!!!

These girls know how to find rest in nature ❤️ 💐 Reminder to take time to recharge.

JOHNSON: How many air traffic controllers have left the FAA since January 20? And don't tell me you don't know DUFFY: I don't know that JOHNSON: Are you trying to tell us you don't know how many air traffic controllers are in the building? DUFFY: They're in towers

WCK got to Texas to help people BEFORE FEMA 🤦‍♀️ what happened to America first? Mexico had to help find victims and non profits are helping feed people.
