(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.

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.

I guess I will read this soon. Right now I just want to escape in some frivolous fiction until I am ready to fight on.

Leftcoastzen Everyone should read this ! Thanks for the reminder to get it out and read it again! 2mo

DeeLew @Leftcoastzen it is all so discouraging right now. I‘m definitely ready to fight evil by reading books! 2mo

kspenmoll I read after Trump‘s first Presidency- a good time to reread! 2mo

Kristy_K @kspenmoll Same! Time for a reread for sure. 2mo

JenniferEgnor That was such a power punch of a book. I‘m going to read it again. 2mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile I've never heard of Bookly. That looks fun! 4mo

PurpleyPumpkin @WildAlaskaBibliophile I like it! You can try it for free for a small number of books. StoryGraph looks like it might have a bit more functionality but I‘m invested in Bookly at this point. 🙃 4mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile @PurpleyPumpkin 👍👍 4mo

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. 5mo

Leftcoastzen Love this post , ready to reread this book 5mo

dabbe Agree 💯! Dare I say #harrisandbuttigieg!!! We're getting involved in the swing state of Arizona, too! 💙💙💙 5mo

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!!! 💙💙💙 5mo

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. 5mo

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. 5mo

Cuilin @dabbe I believe your governor is a Democrat and gets to pick a replacement for Kelly if needed? 🤞 5mo

dabbe @Cuilin Yes, but then comes an election, and that's when things can get crazy in this state. 🤪 5mo

Cuilin @dabbe got it. NH is a weird little purple surrounded by blue. 5mo

dabbe @Cuilin I have high hopes for both of our states! #gobigblue 5mo
