On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

pick

(2017) Here's a compact handbook to living with integrity in a collapsing/collapsed democracy. I have a dreadful feeling Snyder's advice will have multiple practical applications very soon. Thank goodness it exists.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

Small acts of resistance: community, love, joy. Read the books they want to ban, speak to the people they want to silence, view what they want to stay hidden. Always question. Know your worth. Support those in need where you can.

I still struggle with words for what is happening. To those struggling with me: I see you.

Wigs on the Green | Nancy Mitford

bailed

I think Nancy Mitford‘s life and family are fascinating, and I wanted to read this book because it upset her family when it was published, especially the Nazi sympathizer members. She refused to let it be reprinted in her lifetime, partly because of the mediocre sales numbers and reviews, but mainly because she wanted to keep the peace within her family. I bailed. She‘s a good writer but the story and characters just didn‘t keep me interested.

Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them | Jason Stanley

Published during the first Trump administration in 2018. Time for the disturbing reread. The basic “US” vs. “Them” was a big part of this latest election.
