Dozens of actors and writers, including Mark Ruffalo, Sarah Jessica Parker and Eric Holder, joined historian Timothy Snyder for a July 4 video reading his bestselling book "On Tyranny." Snyder's own release essay makes clear the video was aimed squarely at the White House's official 250th anniversary events, not offered as a neutral civic message.

Good find today. My neighborhood has a few #LittleFreeLibrary boxes with free books, give or take. Never had taken one until today.
Found a copy of #TimothySnyder 's #OnTyranny. Such a good, yet scary, small book! I have read library copies twice now.

tl;dr: This #video adds to what #TimothySnyder wrote in the addendum to #OnTyranny.
It's not that I disbelieved Timothy Snyder; it's that I listened to the #audiobook of On Tyranny when the rest of my bookclub read the physical book.
That audiobook had an entire bonus section with an additional twenty points centering #Ukraine. Timothy Snyder shared that he'd written these down the previous evening. I was not prepared to communicate about the additional material because it was seriously as long or longer than the original book. I'm sure there's an expanded version out there by now, but as an audiobook listener, I'll let y'all go find it.
Aside: When a random new-to-me channel shows up in my #YouTube feed, I check when it joined. If it's too recent, I pass, regardless of the content. This channel started in 2017.
Today, I was served the random video linked above that ties into Snyder's Ukraine content.
This video affirms everything Snyder said, and adds context like the difference between the #Russian and #Ukrainian #words associated with #power. Like the words for #money and #treasury. Being reminded that #Russia has #Mongol roots added the piece I was missing.

RE: https://ruhr.social/@glsbank/115775573219385356
Drei Fragen: 1. Handelt die @glsbank präventiv & vorauseilend oder erst nach konkreter Aufforderung durch Behörden oder Geschäftspartner?
In der Stellungnahme klingt es nach ersterem.

Have you read 'On Tyranny' by Timothy Snyder?
It's short.
Powerful.Absolutely worth the small effort. You'll probably learn something. And probably be motivated to stand up and stand out.

A propos ***nothing at all***, yesterday I left copies of ON TYRANNY: TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Timothy Snyder in three of our local Little Free Libraries.
Reminder: "Read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is."

From the 20 lessons for resisting #Authoritarianism from the Timothy Snyder book #OnTyranny, written in 2016.
1. Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

The first lesson in #OnTyranny by #TimothySnyder is “Do Not Obey in Advance.” It's been quoted widely, but apparently not often enough, considering how many individuals + organizations in the US have done precisely that.
