“… two important lessons. One is that resistance is patriotic. Everything that we do to oppose American authoritarianism we do not just in the name of defending freedom, but in the name of preserving America as such.” #AwarenessMatters #DemocracyMatters 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
One of the best poems ever. It comes to mind every time I see someone’s name splashed across a public building.
2/2 - other lesson: resistance is constructive. “…every act of resistance creates the possibility that the country can survive, … every act of kindness, solidarity are also actions [where] learning from resistance becomes the politics of freedom.” #DemocracyMatters open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
