After rereading Timothy Snyder's book, On Tyranny, I was again reminded about the importance of language in resisting totalitarianism. Tyrannical governments will use language to debase, dehumanize, and lead their followers away from objective truth that does not fit their agenda. Language matters.

Tyranny, authoritarianism, fascism, and totalitarianism must be resisted, and the underlying mechanisms that allow such systems to take root in a free nation must be destroyed if such a nation is to be truly free.

Ukraine did not start the war. Russia invaded a sovereign neighbor state. 2 and 2 still make 4, and the emperor has no clothes.

If we are to survive as a nation, it is important that we understand how to build alliances with those that share common goals and values. We don't have to agree on everything, but we must all gather to fight back against the forces of fascism before it's too late.

Project 2025 poses a clear and present danger to American democratic institutions. It is imperative that it be disrupted, delayed, and resisted by any means available.

Malicious compliance is an excellent means of active resistance. Friends and allies in government jobs- do what you can with that in mind.

In the upcoming days, it's going to be important to share skill sets, build your support networks, and take care of each other. Don't forget to take care of yourselves as well. Stay strong, folks.

"Political or military commentators, like astrologers, can survive almost any mistake, because their more devoted followers do not look to them for an appraisal of the facts but for the stimulation of nationalistic loyalties." -George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism
