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

My heart feels a lot right now. I imagine his is broken. I know B. did the right thing, but I am so afraid. I don't think my heart can hold everything that will come if this wicked man gets back in the office again. I will do everything I can to get peoplx to vote. I will vote. I will continue to try and help others like I always have. I will try to hold on to some hope…we are at a critical point right now. This is not the time to sit it⬇️

JenniferEgnor out. We can choose to work to create a more loving, just, and democratic future, or we can choose a fascist, totalitarian nightmare. Choose wisely. This is not a game, this is not hyperbolic. Pay attention. This is it, folx. If we go over this cliff, there is no coming back from it. Choose wisely. Remember this—in the end, fascism comes for everyone…even the fascists. Choose wisely. 4mo

Leftcoastzen Love this post , ready to reread this book 4mo

Cuilin @dabbe I would love Buttigieg too though I think they‘ll pick a governor from a swing state though I heard Mark Kelly is also on the list!!! 💙💙💙 4mo

Cuilin I spent a lot of time on TikTok yesterday, checking out the vibes. I feel really hopeful most that younger generation seem to be ready to vote for Harris. 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin We love M. Kelly and all he's done for our state. We lost our governor (Napolitano) to Obama's administration, and our state has just now just recovered. I would hate to lose a Senate seat because who knows what our purple state would do if he left. 4mo

Cuilin @dabbe I believe your governor is a Democrat and gets to pick a replacement for Kelly if needed? 🤞 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin Yes, but then comes an election, and that's when things can get crazy in this state. 🤪 4mo

Cuilin @dabbe got it. NH is a weird little purple surrounded by blue. 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin I have high hopes for both of our states! #gobigblue 4mo

While in DC last month, I had to visit the Holocaust Museum. This was one of the first exhibits I saw there. I couldn‘t help but think of what‘s happening right now with our books, libraries and teachers.

“History does not repeat, but it does instruct.”

SqueakyChu Fabulous book! I saved my copy, and I don‘t purposely save too many books I‘ve already read. 2y

KateKintail @SqueakyChu I really want to read the graphic novel version of it now! 2y

SqueakyChu @KateKintail I didn‘t know there was a graphic version of it! I‘ll have to try to find it as well. Jose often sees Timothy Snyder commenting on CNN during the evening news (which I avoid on purpose). 2y

A Century of Genocide: Utopias of Race and Nation | Eric D. Weitz

pick

Weitz selects four cases of genocides in the past century and dissect and analyze its politics. He explains how revolutionaries were able to seize power along with their rituals of violence.
It is a remarkable book that also warns about the dangers associated with nationalism and how someone or a group can channel national resentments to gain power and facilitate a brutal regime.
