Looking forward to diving into this Xmas day gift by one of my heroes of the fight against populist authoritarianism. Who knows, perhaps I can coax her into an appearance on ANU’s Democracy Sausage in the new year - what say you @anneapplebaum.bsky.social ? #DemocracySausagewithMarkKenny - ThreadSky

My hero, too, and the main reason I subscribe to the Atlantic. Still miss working at ANU with access to excellent publications. The council library here is not up to it, unfortunately.

Nice! I read Strongmen. Excellent. I have Autocracy Inc. just haven’t started it yet. Working thru On Freedom by Timothy Snyder. So far 👍
Man, that guy knows his stuff.

She's an exceptional commentator. Is she married to the Polish prime minister?

Happy festive season to you, MK!

I hate reading books like that because they take forever to finish. I have to keep putting them down every time they make my blood pressure spike, which is every five pages or so.

Giving this to my 20 year old tomorrow morning, 3rd yr at Queens. It’s time for this generation to face events head on.

Heard your last DS. Lots of us feel abandoned by the political system; it lies, cheats, goes back on itself. Modern media allows its space to fill up with Trump/Dutton without much/little qualification. Yes I care about my own life, but also the lives of others, in Gaza for eg, I can walk/chew gum.

Very good book. Also recommend "Twilight of Democracy"
