"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. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

If Trump were the Pope, the Vatican gift shop would sell MAGA miters and Communion would tiny Big Macs 🍔

Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas verlinkt auf ihren Social Media Accounts jetzt eine Rede von Ronald Reagan, in der dieser das Loblied auf Freihandel singt. What a time to be alive

„Alternative Fakten“ – Die Lieblingslüge der Populisten. Willkommen im postfaktischen Paralleluniversum: Hier werden Lügen als „Meinung“ verkauft, Wissenschaft als „gekauft“ diffamiert – und jede Kritik mit dem Stempel „Systemhörigkeit“ abgewatscht. www.mimikama.org/alternative-...

No, no, no… I‘m not researching my newest series‘ plot! (So far I‘m doing well, but I want to know 🫣). PS: This is not some code for anything. Just me wanting to know what happens next in ADoW

I have to say, I was disappointed with the Ides of March this year.

I guess I need Candy Crush again…. otherwise I just keep doomscrolling

Is it just me, or are we back in kindergarten, but on world stage? One kid just throwing a huge tantrum and everyone suffers.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

In movies, a superhero arrives around now. In the absence of that happening, I am willing to coordinate a global army of middle aged women to sort everything out. We have a lot of rage. And also combat trousers from the 90s.

Eminem summed it up perfectly.

In den eigenen (!) Reihen hofiert die SVP russische Kriegspropagandisten, völkische Ideologen und Menschenrechts-Gegner. Ein «Fuck you Mr. Trump» lässt die intellektuellen Tiefflieger der SVP aber schnappatmen. Volle Solidarität mit @cedricwermuth.bsky.social - und an die SVP: 🖕

Stell dir mal vor, du wirst seit Jahren mit Krieg, Tod und Terror überzogen, und musst dir dann von großmäuligen Milchgesichtern (die ohne ihre soziale Herkunft nichts (!) wären) erklären lassen, dass du das Problem bist.

They don‘t have many followers… yet?

Today I‘m tired of being a Historian. But tomorrow (well, Monday) I‘ll teach again. Helping my students make sense of our current times.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

So so tired… and I‘m not even in Germany or the US. But I‘m a Historian… and I just want to hibernate. But I know I can‘t. I will bear witness

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Isn’t it ironic, don‘t you think? youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?...

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

It is one thing, explaining students why ppl didn‘t protest in 1933. It is a whole other f***ery to explain to them 2025. Sincerely every fiddledyfuck democratic country.
