This also drifted into my feed and Gracie, too, sends her best black (ish) dog vibes for healing to all.

For no reason in particular, I am reading this interesting little book called “On Tyranny” (thanks to @randallhughes.bsky.social) First lesson: Do Not Obey In Advance.

Cover of book “On Tyranny: twenty lessons from the 20th century. By Timothy Snider.

Title page of first lesson. It reads: do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who seats in this way is teaching power what it can do.
