Summary
Dozens of Hollywood celebrities released a nearly 10-minute "On Tyranny" video on July 4, urging Americans to oppose President Donald Trump’s administration ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Timothy Snyder, author of the 2017 book the video draws from, calls the midterms a "turning point" and says the country could move in a better direction or "turn very ill indeed."
Mark Ruffalo, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ted Danson and others recite warnings such as "Do not obey in advance" and "Beware of the one-party state," framing the campaign around threats to liberty.
Snyder also used the release to attack the administration’s official 250th anniversary celebrations, writing that current leaders embody dangers the founders warned against, including arbitrary rule, corruption and collusion with foreign powers.
