Everybody else: Read On Freedom too.

The rise of autocracy needs to be recognized and resisted EVERYWHERE, in as imaginative ways as possible — together — in ways both little and big.

Tim Synder's On Freedom is essential reading to understand what is unfolding in the US and globally at this moment, with autocracy in ascendence. So is his Yale colleague, Jason Stanley's Erasing History, and Anne Applebaum's Autocracy Inc. It is an all hands on deck - aware and aware - moment.
