A lil tip for the folks with shoe polish on their lips today :)
Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" "1. Do not obey in advance." "Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
