This year, I have challenged myself to read more. Instead of committing to reading a number of books every month, I set a simple target of trying to read at least 10 pages per day.
It’s not much but with a busy schedule, I wanted a manageable goal.
Here is what I’ve been reading:

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.

If I were elected to a federal office, Enshittification by Cory Doctorow is one of the books I would make my staff read.
If you’ve ever felt that the economy, especially tech, is different and worse than it used to be but you can’t quite nail down why or what to do about it, this book is for you.

Guess they’re gonna have to tear down all those New Deal buildings and artworks.
For those who don’t study history, we’ve had socialism in America before, it was in response to unbridled wealth hoarding, and it directly led to one of the most prosperous periods the country has ever experienced.
