The Grift Bubble
A Political Theory of American Collapse
Timothy #Snyder Nov 16, 2025
How does a country burst? To answer this questions, it helps to see matters as do the president and the vice-president: from inside a grift bubble.

Running together
A Winter Tale
Timothy #Snyder Nov 15, 2025
Wherever I am, I rarely have trouble finding an organized race. There is someone about with a good cause and the willingness to do the work. A few clicks, an entrance fee, and a journey to the site: such are the runner’s minor undertakings. Aside from the running itself, of course!
Na rozhlase visí Svoboda od Snydera.
První díl k poslechu ještě tři týdny.

Roku 1976 bylo Timothymu Snyderovi osm let, země slavila 200 let nezávislosti a děti zvonily na zvon svobody. Touto vzpomínkou a svou cestou na Ukrajinu zahajuje autor své úvahy o svobodě. Ukrajinci nevnímají svobodu negativně jako osvobození, nýbrž pozitivně, jako vyhlídku na normální život. Ukrajina je tak lekcí i pro americké pojetí svobody jako odstraňování bariér.

Freedom is Action -- Finishing the Job
Help save the lives of the courageous

When Ukrainian soldiers are wounded in action, Russian drones target both them and the people who come to rescue them. This is of course against the law, as is every aspect of Russia’s criminal war.

How “War” Becomes #War
Russia’s Invasion of #Ukraine and Ours of Us
Timothy #Snyder Nov 04, 2025
Big lies are meant to start wars — including self-invasions, including wars against ourselves. But they need not work. They have to be seen for what they are. Speaking the small truths about the cities and mocking the big lie about “war” is a start.

The Next #Terrorist Attack
And What Comes After (Updated)
Timothy #Snyder Nov 01, 2025
Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

When we say No Kings, we mean Freedom (video)
My speech in #Cincinnati for the No Kings rally of October 17th
Timothy #Snyder Oct 25, 2025
Cincinnati was where I wanted to be for No Kings, and I was so glad to be there.
...
A king is somebody who wants tyranny and not democracy. That's number one. Number two, a king would mean somebody who wants oligarchy and not opportunity. ...

No Kings — #Freedom

Five reasons to rally! Another one I didn’t mention — it’s fun and it makes you feel better. Thanks to everyone who is already out there. I’ll be at No Kings in Cincinnati.
