Such a super cute and fun set of prompts!
Sadly, I can no longer find who created or shared it to give them credit.

Part memoir and part analysis as to the trends toward authoritarianism & Nationalism across the globe by a former member of Obama‘s staff .He doesn‘t shy away from how US policy may also be to blame. Thoughtful analysis . Published when Navalny was still alive but had been poisoned, the one he survived. I weep for the future.

Written as a collection of 5 interrelated essays, Taylor touches upon diverse disciplines including sociology, philosophy, economics, ecology, and political science. At its heart, she attempts to demonstrate how insecurity and our responses to it (hoarding resources, policing, shaming others rather than showing care…) are causing collective harm, and encourages us to come together, recognize our joint vulnerability, and support each other.

4.5⭐️ It was a very fascinating read, which was very in-depth about how American evangelicals are becoming more and more extreme and not in a good way. What‘s really important is that the author travels to the various places around the US that are highlighted. Highly recommended. #2024 #nonfiction #bookreview #christianity #evangelicals

And with that, that‘s a wrap! Stay tuned for our next book! #impeachment #jeffreyengel #politics #uspolitics #politicalscience #history #ushistory #president #executivebranch #truecrime #houseofrepresentatives #senate

Did I mention that I love irony? It‘s ironic to me that recording and listening to private conversations created the downfall of Richard Nixon. Here was a president who listened in on his political rivals, denied it for years, then several recorded private conversations admitting what he did was used against him forcing him to resign. #politics #impeachment #jeffreyengel #richardnixon #spying #recording #history #uspolitics #ushistory

After Clinton was acquitted, he was asked if he can forgive and forget. His response… #billclinton #impeachment #peterbaker #ushistory #uspolitics #history #politics #unitedstates #unitedstatesofamerica #acquittal #forgiveness

Fascinating and terrifying.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
