Very intense summary of what's going on from @timothysnyder.bsky.social I will quote from toward the end, though, on what to do:
"Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them."

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
