Take a listen to this important message from Timothy Snyder, author and historian who wrote the book ‘On Tyranny’ which I would highly recommend EVERY AMERICAN should read. Timothy Snyder 🎥 TikTok -

@TimothyDSnyder We HAVE to remember how Putin consolidated HIS rule: staged terrorist explosions in civilian buildings (1999: Volgodonsk, Buynaksk) and blamed those on the Chechens. This triggered the Chechen war and helped him attain presidency. Trump may look unclever, but he knows the game.

@TimothyDSnyder From the outside looking in it's very obvious that martial law is on the 'to do list'. Calm is paramount. "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake" - Napoleon Bonaparte

@TimothyDSnyder Sheriffs are elected by the electorate, and they can deputize armed volunteers to observe and enforce the law in the community. If local legal firms can pledge to run pro bono support for deputies, ICE agents will not be able to break the law.

@MalcolmNance @TimothyDSnyder I worry that the Army /Trump birthday parade is just a pretext for something much more sinister-like a complete takeover.

@TimothyDSnyder Just like after 9/11. Everything changed back then and we all accepted it. I hope we don't repeat it like we did back then.

@TimothyDSnyder Oh look look 👀 corrupt @POTUS fatten his bank accts!! @SenAdamSchiff next time ask MAGA @LeaderJohnThune the PoS💩why he’s so silent on blatant corruption by Trump? @dscc @DNC @SenWarren @RepJeffries @Lawrence @GOP

@TimothyDSnyder Meanwhile the world expects nothing less than👇👇👇from #CriminalTrump
