The obsession with American greatness is obscuring the need for American goodness. The US must lead, and does so best by example. Sweeping Trumpism into the dustbin of history is only the start. https://t.co/tw2WCZCLdP — PolitiTweet.org

Good. Successive UK governments invited the Russian bear in and now act surprised that he's not a vegetarian. — PolitiTweet.org

The Founding Fathers did not come down from Mount Vernon holding the Constitution on stone tablets. The founders were imperfect, and designed a system for imperfect people to improve upon. It's happening again now. My article in @JoinPersuasion. https://t.co/tw2WCZCLdP — PolitiTweet.org

Another great @Renew_Democracy video. The "royal presidency" didn't start with Trump, but he has made its dangers clear and must end with him. — PolitiTweet.org

The NBA cares about money and should just admit it instead of embarrassing hogwash about rights. As for Ted Cruz, nothing a basketball player could do is as disrespectful to America as his support for Trump! — PolitiTweet.org

I'm always sensitive to efforts to turn national symbols into sacred objects, as it lends itself to the motherland propaganda Communist nations used to try to replace religion. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Cruz and Cuban both have points here, but they attack the other's without defending their own. Separately, I know it's a tradition, but I don't get the point of playing the national anthem before a domestic event! https://t.co/f3JK5iAsQj — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I'm an optimist, but if books (and shows) about authoritarianism, fascism, and democracy were hugely popular, it would make a difference. Old & new. Arendt, Popper, Paxton along with @sarahkendzior, @TimothyDSnyder, @anneapplebaum. Debate them in high school, don't wait! — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

👊 There is always a lot of talk about failing to learn from history, but the history must be learned first! The market can help. More books like Anne's sell, the more get published. It's another way to push back. Plus, you have a great book! — PolitiTweet.org

"The checks and balances of Western constitutional democracies never guaranteed stability. Liberal democracies always demanded things from citizens: participation, argument, effort, struggle." We must meet the moment as citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Highest recommendation for @anneapplebaum's new book, The Twilight of Democracy. It's an invaluable snapshot of the knife's edge the free world is balanced on today by someone with deep expertise in the causes and consequences of authoritarianism. https://t.co/j4hUOx1bwV — PolitiTweet.org

Chess is growing, and definitely not 'lost' at all despite so much competition available for our time today. But people forget they don't have to be an expert to teach others, especially youngsters. — PolitiTweet.org

In the spirit of the day, and since many of us have a lot of time in isolation, it's a great time to teach someone to play chess! It would also honor the recent passing of the man who taught me, my uncle, Konstantin Gregorian. #InternationalChessDay — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I won the first ten games against the best players and felt invincible going into the final round against an amateur. And you've heard about pride and falls! But that loss to De las Heras was of course preserved and published so I won't recount it here.. — PolitiTweet.org

He reconstructed them from video, and here is a version of it with my interview. Long ago! Look at all that hair! https://t.co/JihmcTT8ZG — PolitiTweet.org

In his "Iron Curtain Speech" in Fulton, Missouri, in 1946, Churchill warned against the UN becoming "a frothing a words.. merely a cockpit in a Tower of Babel." Putin on the Human Rights Council would seal that fate once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org
