Welcome to Litsy!

Definitely shines the light on how we got here.The Reagan years were awful in my opinion, he definitely started the race to the bottom, trickle down economics, didn‘t. Less about people, more about corporations.The rise of Rush Limbaugh,one sided views of the political scene created the tunnel vision leads to the current cult . An uptick in extreme right activity ,the murder of radio host Alan Berg . Buchanans America 1st ,white & exclusionary👇

An eye-opening and horrifying, but absolutely necessary, read. This provides a good overview of the history of indigenous people in the United States from their perspective. It also connects a lot of dots as to how United States military policy is still influenced by the genocide inflicted on Native peoples.

I‘ve been wanting to read Robert Caro‘s books about Lyndon Johnson for forever —hoping to get a start on the first one before this year is up.

An easy, breezy Summery Rom Com. But there were a couple things ILOVED about it- 1. the FMC is a body guard, demonstrates that she is able to do the job. 2. She repeatedly models that with appropriate training in prevention and de-escalation most situations can be handled safely for every one. A topic i‘m pationate about because I‘ve witnessed both amazing police and corrupt police. #overcomingevilempires #readingispolitical #antifabookclub

It‘s almost midnight. Going to clear my head with a a little Langston Hughes poetry before bed.

This is the beginning of Robert Reich‘s post today about what it means to be a patriot. I find his work to be informative, encouraging and hopeful. Happy to forward the whole thing to anyone who is interested.

An example of how easy it is to participate in the #antifabookclub This cozy mystery has a main character who writes mysteries- set just before WW2 and the main characters sub plots often involve anti nazi anti fascism! #readingispolitical #overcomingevilempires

Thanks to @Karisa for introducing me to this poem. I‘ve read it over and over again this morning and also listened to James Earl Jones read it, plus this 🔥 video: https://youtu.be/AXz1wypzPS8?si=ouyKvgswv07T6CKB
Read it, listen to it, share it. And be in awe that this was written in 1935! Yet here we are. #readingispolitical #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub
