On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

We first heard "El Pueblo Unido" years ago when we were gifted this Inti-Illimani Historico anthology by some Chilean friends. My teen rediscovered it through friends two weeks ago and has been playing it daily on piano. It feels appropriate and moving at the moment.

Sace PS: this would be a great song to teach the future tense in Spanish (I have teacher brain 😂) 3d

ImperfectCJ @Sace It very much would be! I should suggest it to my son's Spanish teacher this next year (if she's not already thought of it). 3d

ImperfectCJ This song and variations is what my son has been playing: https://open.spotify.com/track/5yDhnNPhTfwhpIRAMbVIUV?si=ybodiSUXTnOGciRpZZXBFA 3d

Animal Farm and 1984, Centennial Editions | George Orwell

I was looking on Libby for 1984 for #withthebanned, and the waitlist was a mile long. But the Animal Farm/1984 combo was available. Lucky for me, but did no one else realize they could just borrow this instead of waiting? 😂

ChaoticMissAdventures I have the same thing with Once and Future King! Months wait for the full audio, but there is also an option to get each book separately now, no wait! I think people just don't know what to look for. 1w

lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures Fair point. I believe I also searched by author, so if they search by title, it may not come up. At least I lucked out! 1w

Amiable

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

I‘m a nonfiction geek, so these are the books that come to mind for when I need an emotional pep talk: Historians of fascism offer their guides to surviving and resisting America‘s recent turn towards authoritarianism. Because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Thanks for the tag, @Chrissyreadit !

Origins of Totalitarianism | Hannah Arendt

Just finished viewing this mesmerizing PBS documentary- if you have access to PBS it‘s well-worth viewing! Parallels to our existing executive branch are glaring. #adventuresinphilosophy

Tamra Thanks for posting! Off to find it. 2w

squirrelbrain I just finished this book, in which Arendt is featured. Not sure I understood a lot of it, but still worth a read.

Amiable @kspenmoll I‘ll be in New London. Next time I‘ll plan to come up to Hartford! I‘m bringing a friend—this is her first protest and she‘s nervous so I told her we can do New London since it won‘t be as crowded as Hartford. 1mo
