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.

„Man spürt die Gewalt in der Luft“
taz.de 4.4.2025 19:57 Uhr
Die Zahl der #Waffen pro Kopf ist in den #USA höher als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt. Sie liegt bei mehr als einer Waffe pro Person. Man spürt die #Gewalt in der Luft. Deshalb habe ich nicht nur Angst um meine Kinder, sondern auch vor einem #Bürgerkrieg. ...

During the q&a he makes clear that he did not go to Toronto because of Trump.
I was just reading #TimothySnyder 's "On Tyranny" and he starts with a quote by Leszek Kolakowski.
I will use it tomorrow at my talk during our local #standupforscience event in Nancy.

Civil Rights and Historical Honesty
A historian's reaction a recent executive order
Timothy #Snyder Apr 01, 2025
The president has issued an executive order entitled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” Like most of these executive orders, it seems illegal on its face: the president can only execute the laws; he cannot just himself decide how our museums and parks will work or look. ...

11. Investigate
12. Make eye contact and small talk. Stay in touch with your surroundings and break down social barriers and understand whom you should and should not trust
13. Practice corporeal politics. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them
14. Establish a private life. Tyrants seek the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have hooks
15. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations
16. Learn from peers in other countries. Make sure you and your family have passports.
17. Listen for dangerous words like emergency, exception, terrorism, and extremism. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary
18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. When the terror attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power
19. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come
20. Be as courageous as you can

Happy Birthday, William!
And thanks for the Snyder/Lithgow link. An important manifesto by an important thinker, read simply and honestly by a fine actor.
Even more thanks for posting the photograph of your "Mouton Bickham" / Louis Philippe rose. Please allow me to pay tribute to your friendly former neighbour, by hashtag.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. ...
1. Do not obey in advance.
2. Defend institutions.
3. Beware the one-party state.
...
10. Believe in truth.

John Lithgow’s reading gave me goosebumps. As Canadians, these lessons are just as applicable. The next time you see a conservative political ad, apply these lessons. Its important!
