So the police will let people with bigger weapons get away with crimes. Mass shooters, snipers, bombers, PBs, ICE…I thought they were more strategic & courageous. (I know it’s hard.)

From #OnTyranny :Lesson 2 #DefendInstitutions
Rule #2. #DefendInstitutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves.
@timothysnyder.bsky.social
This is what we expect from our institutions and its supporters.

A reminder to #DefendInstitutions
We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges. We have an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something to be thankful for.
Trump again uses an executive order to eviscerate an independent agency the Institute of Museum and Library Services www.imls.gov part of his concerted effort to control information and inhibit research, democratic inquiry, fact-based knowledge. #BelieveInTruth #DefendInstitutions #Genealogy
