Pre-COVID Social Distancer: I should note that this version makes for a PHENOMENAL high school graduation “welcome to the real world” gift. (With or without some $$ inside it, depending how much you actually like the teenager in question.)

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

For anyone who wants to read more, I highly recommend the graphic novel version of On Tyranny. The text remains the same, you aren’t losing any of the message, but the visuals add a certain little something that somehow makes it even better

Cool! Did not know this exists. Thank you! 👏🏽

Here’s an example from it

Hell with that, my kindergartener’s gonna be getting the comic version for Christmas. Thanks fir the tip!

I often give this as a gift to young people. (My 87 year-old mother bought one for every member of the family the year it came out.) If I had unlimited funds, I’d buy copies by the thousands and hand them out to strangers on the street.

I will def be checking out this book! But … is the Nazi cross tree a real thing? Seems like a joke?

It's probably not literal, but there is a literal example of nazis using trees to make a swastika: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_...

Forest swastika - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Any time, any place; punch a nazi in the face!

I think it's a symbolic example.
