Timothy Snyder wrote: "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. Millions of you, around the world, have put these lessons to good use; it has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I am delighted to have this special chance now to share the lessons again. I was honored when John, a wise advocate for civil discourse and civic engagement, volunteered to read them aloud." https://snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-lessons-read-by-john-lithgow

I've been begging ZeitOnline editor Jochen Wegner to translate and open their stellar coverage of America's fall for Americans. Here is a fine example: A European Declaration of Independence from America. Highly recommended. Vielen Dank, Jochen, mein Freund.
