Sunday thought: Confronting tyranny
Seven things we’ve learned





Friends,

It’s getting worse.

Trump’s regime forces late-night comedians off the air. He threatens to take away broadcast licenses of networks whose TV personalities criticize him. Demands that the Attorney General prosecute his enemies. Sues The New York Times for criticizing him. Bombs boats in international waters. Occupies more cities. Accuses the left but not the right of political violence. Targets “liberal” organizations. Targets (and sometimes disappears) people who look Latino. Allows Putin and Netanyahu to do their worst. And so on.

If you are feeling frightened or disoriented, you have every reason.

Yet we have learned several lessons about how to deal with this tyrant, and we must practice them.
