I am grateful to these folks, and many more not pictured, for fighting the good fight. Working with them has restored my hope and my faith in humanity. I am so proud to stand with them.

Democracy in America (Volumes 1 and 2, Unabridged) | Alexis De Tocqueville

"I do not mean that there is no deficiency of wealthy individuals in the United States; I know of no country, indeed, where the love of money has taken stronger hold on the affections of men, and where the profounder contempt is expressed for the theory of the permanent equality of property."
-Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America"

Chrissyreadit perfect quote for the insanity of enriching billionaires and destroying a portion of the country! 1d

Becoming a Citizen Activist: Stories, Strategies, and Advice for Changing Our World | Nick Licata

Spotify set me up with an "Angry Running List," which taught me that I still enjoy Rage Against the Machine as much or more than I did in my feisty 20s, but now I cry at the lyrics.

It also taught me that, despite my conviction to the contrary, I apparently don't hate ALL Foo Fighters songs.

#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

BarbaraBB I used to love Rage too and still do whenever I hear them. Quite timely 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d

BarbaraBB Also Foo Fighters has been growing on me 💕 2d

PuddleJumper Rage Against still hits that spot for me especially when I'm out walking. Foo Fighters are a bit hit and miss. I have a screamy walk playlist which is a lot of emo, punk, and rock lol 2d

lil1inblue I love Rage far more at 45 than I did at 15. In fact, my Tom Morello crush didn't start until my 30s. 😂 1d

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

I‘m a nonfiction geek, so these are the books that come to mind for when I need an emotional pep talk: Historians of fascism offer their guides to surviving and resisting America‘s recent turn towards authoritarianism. Because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Thanks for the tag, @Chrissyreadit !

Common Sense | Thomas Paine

It‘s been over 25 years since I last read this, and I feel like this is a good document to read on the 4th.

Anyone wish to join me reading this on the 4th? If so, we could post comments throughout our reading, but make it very lowkey.

Butterfinger I think I will join you. 3d

Librarybelle That‘s great, @Butterfinger ! 3d

TheBookHippie Yes I‘ll try to find my copy otherwise I‘ll get one! 3d

Deblovestoread If i can get a copy I will join in. 3d

Librarybelle Yay, @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread ! I‘m sure there is a copy somewhere online, such as on Project Gutenberg. It has to be in the public domain, I would think. My copy is from high school‘s AP Government class! 😂 3d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle my son is working his job at the bookshop tonight 🤣 I too have my school copy somewhere 3d

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie 😂 An easy in to the bookstore, then! And a dangerous one too! 😂 3d

Deblovestoread FYI for those that might be interested if you have Spotify premium there is an audio version. 3d

IriDas Sounds fun. Especially since there are free copies all over the internet. :D 3d

Librarybelle Good to know, @Deblovestoread ! 3d

Librarybelle Yay, @IriDas ! 3d

kspenmoll I would like to join. I think my son has a copy. 1d

The Correspondent: A Novel | Virginia Evans

Thank you so much for the recommendation @BarbaraBB !

What a beautiful novel in letters. Sybil prefers letter writing to any other communication. She writes to friends, family, favorite authors, customer service reps, really anyone.

She‘s in her 70s and her vision is failing. The fear of that and grief over two huge losses in her life become the backbone of the story.

I cried more than once, and I laughed plenty.
Recommending!
