Bigger Than Me is your democracy climate center — tracking the forecast for freedom and authoritarianism, one policy and event at a time. We break down the news, showing you not just what happened but how: Was the process democratic or authoritarian? A healthy debate or a power grab?
Guided by Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, we connect today’s events to the bigger patterns shaping our country.
Each post equips you with trusted sources, plain-language explainers, and ready-to-use tools — emails, call scripts, social posts — so you can respond, organize, and push back when it matters most.
No government lingo, no jargon, no panic. Just clear, fact-based explanations of what happened and why it matters.
You’ll get ready-to-use tools to act immediately, including:
Every post connects the event to the 20 Lessons from On Tyranny, showing you how this moment fits into the authoritarian playbook — and why it’s worth noticing.
This space is meant to be a relief from the spin. Here, you’ll find structure, sourced content, and the confidence to take meaningful action, even when things feel overwhelming.
Join us, be part of something Bigger Than Me—because when we act together, nothing is impossible. Let’s make it happen! (Plus a weekly currated list of posts in your inbox)
