@timothysnyder.bsky.socialWell, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.
@timothysnyder.bsky.social"Weakness is dangerous, and Trump is dangerously weak. And, as weaklings do, he blames others for his own failures, and thereby makes everything worse."

@timothysnyder.bsky.socialRamaswamy made his money through a scam. That's not success; it’s corruption. This election is the big chance in our lifetime to do something about the people who think politics is just there to enable ever bigger personal grifts.
@timothysnyder.bsky.socialVery refreshing to hear an elected official speaking articulately. I reckon we will be hearing a lot more from Senator Ossoff in the next few years.
@timothysnyder.bsky.socialTrump begging Putin for a symbolic (and illegal) gift of diesel fuel shows only that he wants others to feel as grateful to Putin as he does.

@timothysnyder.bsky.socialI am proud to have had a small part in one of Boris Marte’s many good ideas and the wiser for having listened to him explain how he came to the idea of a self-critical but vital form of memorial politics. Grieving along with his friends and colleagues.

@timothysnyder.bsky.socialWe have a historical opportunity to overcome all this hatred and self-hatred this and defeat Teump and Hegset soundly; and then to turn things around. A chance not to be missed! (3/3)
@timothysnyder.bsky.socialFor people still wondering what fascism is, Hegseth’s proposal to livestream an execution and Trump’s “love me” ad are useful introductions. (2/3)
