Timothy Snyder has taught me so much about what freedom means. I never went to college. But if given the chance, I would take only one class and that would be his class. His books have opened my eyes and mind to the country I live and having an understanding of other countries

Democracy died, when we gave money power then gave all the money to the 1%,once again spawning a ruling owner class…. Turns out then they can work us like slaves, and don’t give us time to participate in family, community or even democratic process.. Ironic isn’t it in a way
