Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

“Democracy is not a noun – democracy is a verb,” says historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social. If you think democracy is something outside of you, it’s already lost, says Snyder. “The crucial thing is to do something.” And remember—we’re all in this together. #Velshi
‘Democracy is a verb’: Timothy Snyder on why the fight begins with you
Historian Timothy Snyder reminds us that the fight for democracy has always begun with ordinary Americans—through civil disobedience, economic pressure, and creative acts of resistance. “Democracy is not a noun; democracy is a verb,” he says. If you think democracy is something outside of yourself, it’s already been defeated. Snyder stresses that resistance isn’t one-size-fits-all. It ranges from small, everyday actions to bigger, riskier actions. “The crucial thing is to do something,” he says. “We also have to recognize that it’s not on any one of us to solve the whole thing. Each of us does a little bit—and together, that changes the whole landscape.”

Years ago, he could’ve controlled it…but dementia + immunity will see him bragging about how he took America for all we ever had. 🤬
