tl;dr: This #video adds to what #TimothySnyder wrote in the addendum to #OnTyranny.

youtu.be/ZekpT8DaV_0

It's not that I disbelieved Timothy Snyder; it's that I listened to the #audiobook of On Tyranny when the rest of my bookclub read the physical book.

That audiobook had an entire bonus section with an additional twenty points centering #Ukraine. Timothy Snyder shared that he'd written these down the previous evening. I was not prepared to communicate about the additional material because it was seriously as long or longer than the original book. I'm sure there's an expanded version out there by now, but as an audiobook listener, I'll let y'all go find it.

Aside: When a random new-to-me channel shows up in my #YouTube feed, I check when it joined. If it's too recent, I pass, regardless of the content. This channel started in 2017.

Today, I was served the random video linked above that ties into Snyder's Ukraine content.

This video affirms everything Snyder said, and adds context like the difference between the #Russian and #Ukrainian #words associated with #power. Like the words for #money and #treasury. Being reminded that #Russia has #Mongol roots added the piece I was missing.

The #IRS’s #privacy dept was largely sidelined from the talks, & its #IT dept took over implementing the data sharing. That team had largely been taken over by ofcls from #Trump’s US #DOGE Service, the White House’s “efficiency” office charged with shrinking the federal government.
#Treasury ofcls justified the data-sharing agreement by arguing #immigration enforcement was pursuing individuals who had violated #criminal statutes, though immigration violations are generally #civil, not criminal.

#Federal #law mandates strict protections of the identities of #taxpayers, including sharing data within the #FederalGovernment. Undocumented #immigrants have for years paid #taxes with assurances that doing so would not result in them being targeted by #immigration enforcement.

But in a controversial decision, #Treasury, which oversees the #IRS, in April 2025 agreed to provide #DHS with the names & addresses of individuals the #Trump admin believed to be in the country illegally.

2026-02-11

The Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with #immigration enforcement officials, acc/to 3 people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a #legal #firewall intended to protect taxpayer data.

The erroneous disclosure was only recently discovered, the people said. The #IRS is working with officials from #Treasury, #DOJ & #DHS on the #Trump admin’s response.

...please lets remember that "#ice" is just the newest rebranding of "#immigration #enforcement" with a history that goes back at least as far as the #chinese #exclusionact of 1882 which was run by the uskkk customs under the #treasury department. (note this direct link to #capitalism..hmmm)

in 1891 came the immigration act ran by the "superintendent of immigration", still under the treasury department....which became the #ins (immigration and naturalization service) in 1933...then in 2003 the enforcement parts of customs and ins were repackaged into a new devil under the #dhs (department of homeland security)...(aka the excuse to abduct, torture, and deport all brown people).

in other words...this sh¡ts been going on unchecked for a looooong azz time and has taken many "invisible" lives.

...and yes. #canada has its own similar "ice" history that is just as old and participated in the chinese exclusion act...(aka they are also run by supremacists who h8 immigrants when they are no longer deemed profitable for the state).

Leaders of the #Alberta Prosperity Project, a group of #FarRight #separatists who want the western province to become independent, met #US #State Dept officials in Washington 3 times since April last year, according to people familiar with the talks.

They are seeking another meeting next month with State & #Treasury officials to ask for a $500bn credit facility to help bankroll the province if an independence referendum — yet to be called — is passed.
