Friends! Do you have a book about public/social policy you're proud of or excited by?
I'm designing a book report section in my upcoming undergrad Public Policy for Social Welfare course--feel free to share recommendations (including self-promo!) for me to add to my list of choices. Thanks!

The dementia-addled president is deeply delusional and his poor mental state is going to lead to American citizens being hurt or killed.
Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

Journalists should never have to fear government retaliation for reporting on government activity, and showing up to work shouldn't result in your family being torn apart.

Mario had the right to work and report in the U.S. at the time he was arrested for livestreaming a protest in June.
He was held for over 100 days in ICE detention, and he did not have the chance to say goodbye to his family in person before being deported.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
