Violating the law and the Constitution, Trump purports to have closed Radio Free/Radio Liberty, a medium which is the source of much of what we known about Russia and the post-communist world. Stanislav Aseyev was arrested in Russian-occupied Ukraine and tortured for his reporting for Radio Liberty.
After my post about Radio Liberty, Professor Snyder asked me to expand on the idea in a short article.

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:

Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?
