by Stanislav #Aseyev

"Individuals associated with the federal government have, in defiance of a court order and without a trial or any form of due process, deported hundreds of people from the territory of the United States to #ElSalvador, where they will be held indefinitely in a concentration camp."

Thinking about... · Unfreedom at the Washington PostBy Timothy Snyder

A final thought about what #Starmer did last Thursday, a week ago today.

Timothy #Snyder, the great historian of totalitarianism and expert on #Ukraine, said that the most important rule to follow when dealing with totalitarians is "Do not obey in advance."

Starmer conceded the second state visit before it could be demanded of him: he obeyed in advance.

What Democracy Brings

And What the Cuts to the National Endowment for Democracy Take Away

Timothy #Snyder Mar 05, 2025

A guest essay by John K. #glenn

If we stop making the case for #democracy, we fail them. Unfortunately, this is what we are now failing to do. The United States is ceasing to support democracies.

The War #Trump Chooses

Timothy #Snyder Mar 01, 2025

»Der Historiker Timothy #Snyder, der an der Universität Yale unterrichtet, hält dagegen, #Trump demütige #Selenskyj und hofiere Putin: "Wenn man denkt, indem man seinen Gast quer durch den Raum anschreit, zeige man Stärke, liegt man falsch", so Snyder bei PBS. "Wenn man denkt, man sollte Ländern einen Gefallen tun, die einen in Wahrheit zerstören wollen, liegt man falsch. «

Hospitality: DT yelled at Z.
Decency: DT yelled at Z.
Democracy DT's statements didn't reflect what the majority of US citizens know to be true about Putler's war
Strategy: favouring Russia over Canada or Europe makes no sense economically
Independence: repeating Russian lies shows dependence on Russia.

The "Fraud" #Fraud

How #DOGE destroys

Timothy #Snyder Feb 26, 2025

How does Elon #Musk use the word "fraud" to dismantle the US federal government?

The term is not as an attempt to describe the world, but to change it. It is a political tool, used by a politician to justify a political action: regime change to #oligarchy

Thinking about... · The "Fraud" FraudBy Timothy Snyder

No one will ever forget the moment when everything changed. The moment when war knocked on the door of every #Ukrainian.

Today marks three years since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The Reality of #Ukraine

A larger meaning of the largest contemporary war

Timothy #Snyder Feb 24, 2025

The divide in politics today is between unreality and reality. Those who seek to rule the world blur human experience and smudge memory, making cooperation and friendship laughable and unthinkable. Rather than possessors of truths, we are to serve as lonely nodes in a power network.

Ja + Nein, schwarz + weiß bringen uns nicht weiter, abseits der klaren Demokratie-Verletzung [ich bin deutlich für ein #noAfD-Verbot + kenne #Popper|s Toleranzparadoxon!].

Zitat von Wendell Phillips nach #Snyder:

"... eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. ... the manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten."

DE:
Ewige Wachsamkeit ist der Preis der Unabhängigkeit. Die Früchte der Unabhängigkeit des Volkes müssen jeden Tag eingesammelt werden, oder sie verderben.

Sooo - kommen wir zu Kap. 3 aus #Snyder🧵 On Tyranny: Beware the one-party state, etwa "Sei auf der Hut vor dem Einparteienstaat".

Extrakt und tl;dr: Wir alle müssen beständig [!] den Mehrparteienstaat und die Demokratie unterstützen, sonst sind sie nicht nachhaltig lebensfähig.

Geht ja gut in Deckung damit, dass wir auf keinen Fall jetzt nach der Wahl aufhören dürfen, für Demokratie auf die Straße zu gehen, weiter ein Verbot der #noAfD zu fordern und falls sicher möglich, uns zu zeigen.
