#DailyTimothySnyder #OnFreedom "The notion that what was good about the state was that it arrested other people was a trap laid for white Americans, a preparation for social stasis and anger. "Tyrannies make anxiety seem normal." Pages 198-9

Racist policies destroy the entire body politic. I urge everyone to read this book.

I've been derelict in my keyboard warrioring activities for a protracted period of time. Was traveling for some of it, but bottom line is the mad king putting us into yet another war plus the atrocities associated with ICE and all the rest, just took the wind out of my sails. Working my way back.

01May2026 STRIKE and check out your local orgs for where to go to demonstrate why you did.

Mass Protest General Strike 01May2026 all over!!

current reads

Autocracy Inc by Anne Applebaum. must read book.

How Democracies Die, Levitsky and Ziblatt. Senator Wyden used this text to frame his remarks during his historic 12 hour speech on the Senate floor and I knew I had to read the book.

At NoKings 28Mar2026, I met Elliott, whose sign was a collection of names on his jacket. A few of the people killed since krasnov took over. He told ME about Timothy Snyder! we had a great conversation. He's going to read On Freedom, and I'm going to read the The Road To Unfreedom.

Elliott displays the names of some of krasnov's victims as we march on 28Mar2026 in Durham NC.

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. If you haven't read it yet, please do so now.
