"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

I unfortunately believe the worst is yet to come. We are under attack with a limited time to stop the destruction of democracy.
Timely.
Thanks.
Considering Trump’s authoritarian rulings, it is more imperative than ever now to have this book!
So happy to see that it’s a bestseller again.
thank you for writing it.

We should take the big challenge before us more seriously than that.

So sad that I had to read it. Never thought I would need to brush up on fighting a dictator in this country.
Now I'm reading Applebaum's Twilight of Democracy with Patriot by Navalny waiting also. Sigh.
His unstable state of mind disrupts the country, yet this topic remains taboo.
Media: roll back the Goldwater Rule and invite psychiatrists to discuss it.

I used to read books on the 2nd World War and be thankful I was born in the 50 s. I didn't understand why there were always war films on TV. After College, I worked with people who were at Dunkirk. It all seemed like ancient history. It doesn't now.
He's a nazi-supporting piece of shit. Fuck him, and tbh, fuck @timothysnyder.bsky.social for promoting him like this. It's insane and very stupid. Maybe he's not so bright.

Fewer titles, but way less ass-kissing.
FUCK JOHN LITHGOW, FUCK JKR - FUCK ALL FASCISTS, TIMOTHY
Time for humanity to step up and own the power of sentient consciousness and understand the cruelty we have allowed over the centuries by believing in sin.
A system that cannot be questioned or challenged is already totalitarian.
Congratulations and thank you for writing it in the first place. I also am sorry we need it.
