“If a person can grow through unthinkable trauma and loss, perhaps a nation may, too.”
Jamie Raskin, Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy

Tim Weiner
“Georgia. Human rights groups launched investigations into Russia’s reports of pitiless atrocities. It was fake news, but it took time to prove its falsity, and while the fact-checkers tried to disprove one story, the Kremlin put out two more. Russia proved that it could use television and the internet as weapons, launching barrages of disinformation and demonization—aiming, as one analyst put it, to “dismiss the critic, distort the facts, distract from the main issue, and dismay the audience.”
Tim Weiner, The Folly and the Glory: America, Russia, and Political Warfare 1945�2020

“Memory requires active engagement with the complexities of the past. It is not an unthinking or passive process, like breathing or (for most people) sleeping. I have found that good memory, like good history, requires disciplined and focused attention, an honest effort to overcome one's perceptual and cognitive biases, and sustained effort.”
Jamie Raskin, Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy

Tony Blair
“The Kaleidoscope has been shaken. The Pieces are in flux. Soon, They will SETTLE again. Before They do, let us RE-ORDER this world around us!!!”
Tony Blair

Steven Levitsky
“One of the great ironies of how democracies die is that the very defense of democracy is often used as a pretext for its subversion. Would-be autocrats often use economic crises, natural disasters, and especially security threats—wars, armed insurgencies, or terrorist attacks—to justify antidemocratic measures.”
Steven Levitsky, How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future
