I was just reading #TimothySnyder 's "On Tyranny" and he starts with a quote by Leszek Kolakowski.
I will use it tomorrow at my talk during our local #standupforscience event in Nancy.

11. Investigate
12. Make eye contact and small talk. Stay in touch with your surroundings and break down social barriers and understand whom you should and should not trust
13. Practice corporeal politics. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them
14. Establish a private life. Tyrants seek the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have hooks
15. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations
16. Learn from peers in other countries. Make sure you and your family have passports.
17. Listen for dangerous words like emergency, exception, terrorism, and extremism. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary
18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. When the terror attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power
19. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come
20. Be as courageous as you can

Happy Birthday, William!
And thanks for the Snyder/Lithgow link. An important manifesto by an important thinker, read simply and honestly by a fine actor.
Even more thanks for posting the photograph of your "Mouton Bickham" / Louis Philippe rose. Please allow me to pay tribute to your friendly former neighbour, by hashtag.

#JasonStanley und sein Kollege #TimothySnyder samt Frau #MarciShore wandern aus - und zwar ausgerechnet nach #Kanada !
Sie wissen wohl warum und erwarten nichts Gutes in den nächsten Jahren. #Politologin Shore warnt vor einem #Bürgerkrieg.
John Lithgow’s reading gave me goosebumps. As Canadians, these lessons are just as applicable. The next time you see a conservative political ad, apply these lessons. Its important!

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow
Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing & sharing - Prof. Timothy Snyder
“Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago... They open the twenty chapters of On #Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.
Above is his film. Below is the text, excerpted from the book. Do share this.”
If you haven´t read the book #OnTyranny by (ex-) Yale #History professor #TimothySnyder yet, now is certainly a good time.
"...when political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become even more important..."
Here is a new presentation of the 20 lessons, read by actor #JohnLithgow.
John Lithgow reads from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century"
