One more recommendation of the history not taught in the US by one of the US's best essayists.

More suggestions to read about a topic liable to be mentioned today after the historic NYC mayors race and win!

Started to read this novel a few months back.
It is an interesting satire that is so relevant today. Besides being a satire, it is a fun romp of a story.

Just finished this short and powerful novel.
I am gutted.
A must read.

Finished this book last evening.
This is a must read interview. I am quite familiar with Chomsky and his work. Reading what the now late Mujica had to say has sparked an interest in learning more about him.

Until US' atrocities are looked at critically, addressed and called out nothing will change or move forward. The US is doomed to keep repeating her ugliest parts over and over until they deal with their shit.

Sometimes the most astute commentary on current events comes from our comedians.
I read this yesterday.
As I lifelong cat lover , Brittlestar nails it!
Pick up a copy and be prepared to laugh and learn how to cat your way through these dark times.

I pulled these two books off of my shelves to both re-read them and recommend them to be read. As the US sinks further into the abyss, we must continue to educate ourselves.

Anti-fascist books to check out. Photos of my personal collection. All are well worth reading.

What I am reading now.
Pick up a copy. Be prepared to have every concept you possess about free will, choice and freedom get turned upside down.
As David Byrne's dust jacket quote says, keep a highlighter at hand.

Read this in two days. The book is far more complex than the title suggests.
My mind is blown and I now have 5 more books that the author referenced on order!

The Paradox of Tolerance explained.
We have tolerated and given space to ideologies which should never have been tolerated.
The world is paying the price for this now.
