I joined twitter 6/1/17, because of my belief in the importance of @TimothyDSnyder#OnTyranny as a reader/admirer of most of his books. Nothing about current twitter makes it worth staying on. eg use of N-word up 500% since new ownership. I’ll be off in48hrs Wish others stop too.
Russian forces "show... that they are willing to leave behind them a wasteland on a massive scale, as they did in Grozny in Chechnya, or – together with Syrian forces – in the ancient city of Aleppo. Neither humanity nor heritage stopped them."

1/14 My six books about #Ukraine. I am called upon to answer questions about Ukraine every day. My books, which represent a quarter century of research and thought, often do a better job than I can while speaking live or in short pieces.
"They're thinking about winning the game. But, if you treat it as a game, at some point the other side is going to walk away and you're not going to have a country left."
Watch @TimothyDSnyder walk us through the most likely scenario for a contested election in 2024:
For about six years I've been asking Donald Trump for an interview. It never happened until the former president came on the line today. Tomorrow on @MorningEdition we'll hear what he said, up to the moment that he hung up on me. @NPR
BREAKING: Trump “abruptly hangs up” during a phone interview with NPR after he is pressed on how his Big Lie “inspired” the Capitol attack, gets called out on the “multiple judges” who ruled against his Big Lie, and is asked to provide “evidence” of his Big Lie. RT TO THANK NPR!
Imagine a country where whoever gets the most votes- wins. No Electoral College. Gore beat W by a half million votes (no Iraq war). Hillary beat tRump by 3 million votes (no Big Lie, major loss of faith in our elections & democracy itself in jeopardy).
