Fills in so much about him

The history helps explain so much of what has happened in this country. He is a dreadful thing. A plague.

Linking past and present, speaking only from notes, he guides the listener into the larger moral universe of On Tyranny.

Truth about history
Revisado: 08-14-24
The notion that world history is written by “the winners” is how we have been conditioned to believe lies or misinformation.
This book & its update opens up the truth about the history of Ukraine to better inform us. We need to know why Putin is at war when he’s nearing the end of his life.
Valuable lessons. Thank you

The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement—threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. A mass of online tipsters—"sedition hunters"—have mobilized, simultaneously providing the FBI with valuable intelligence. In this work of extraordinary reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries, obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized country.

It’s impressive work by all involved in finding the hundreds of violent thugs working to overturn an election. Hang Mike Pence should be chanted as they enter prison. Good work everyone! A grateful nation

America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it?

Excellent!
Revisado: 03-24-24
The authors used history & comparison with other democracies around the world to explain why our current political situation has been allowed to evolve. The deliberate manipulation of thought around our constitution being a “perfect” document left room for Trump to push us to the edge. We need to work with young people to fix our thinking & repair our democracy.

People vs. Donald Trump is a fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former president Donald Trump, written by one of the lawyers who worked on the case and resigned in protest when Manhattan’s district attorney refused to act.

I thank Mr Pomerantz for sharing what he could about the process. Sigh. Will lower my expectations but still hope that rule of law will be applied soon.

The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

A fabulous way to re-read this!

I read the book in 9th grade and had a dim memory of it. This audible production was incredible. Loved every minute of the story.

A masterful book
Revisado: 10-15-21
This is a deep, thorough and thoughtful explanation of the disastrous transformation of the courts. It dives into the hearing on Kavanaugh with interviews and details the devious twerp’s sketchy behavior. I watched every moment of those hearings and was disgusted watching the republicans sell their souls. She brings it all the way up to fall of 2021 and concludes with truly grim predictions for our democratic system of self governing. Amazing work.

Perhaps no one is more qualified to examine the current state of American politics than a political observer who happens to be a psychotherapist. Nick Carmody joins Joe and Alex to discuss how right-wing politicians and influencers have preyed on fears and misperception to heighten paranoia and the pervasive sense of danger on the right. He explains why the two sides in American politics are unable to communicate, and why QAnon is more religion than political ideology. Plus -- is there more to the story than politics and the media? What is really going on here? And what do we do about all this...
