20 Lessons from Tim Snyder on Standing Down Tyranny and "Shock and Awe"
As Donald Trump starts signing 100 executive orders assaulting freedom and democracy, here's a Yale professor's brilliant list or standing down bully cultures.
On this morning, when a convicted fraudster, sexual abuser, conspirator to withhold information to commit election fraud—and a man accused of trying to overthrow the government of the United States and steal classified secrets (including nuclear) from the U.S. government—will take the reigns of the most powerful nation on earth, this article by Yale professor Tim Snyder is the best thing you could possible read. He lists 20 actions, physical and attitudinal, that you can take to counter the SHOCK AND AWE MANIPULATION—which is designed to make you hopeless and, more than anything else, inactive.
They’re not entirely shooting blanks, but they have far, far less power than they pretend they do — and we have far, far more power than we believe we do.
He’s made the list. Check it twice. Then post it where you can see it every day.
And get ready to kick ass in 2026.
