Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Sharp and precise short essay on why Moscow’s myth on NATO expansion as pretext for Ukraine war is just that - a myth. Share with Everyone who still taps into this thought trap (set up by Moscow, again, to interfere with our mind, the authors argue convincingly) 👇🏼

Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

"We may never know why Trump is so perversely loyal to Putin," and "we don't know exactly why Musk went all in for Trump and Russia," Garry Kasparov writes. "But the urgency of their actions I do understand, and it's a dire warning":
