Ministry of Truth: Democracy, Reality, and the Republicans' War on the Recent Past | Steve Benen

pick

How do you get someone to believe a lie? You create distractions, change the language, look for vulnerabilities, and you repeat the lie again, again, and again. We are living in a time of horrific events that are being erased right in front of our eyes, regardless of hard evidence (video, photograph, eye witness). Document everything while you still can. Speak the truth, hold them accountable! An important read as we watch democracy fade.

TheBookHippie Yup. Keep speaking up even if your voice shakes!! 15h

AmyG Agree. It‘s frightening. I‘ve been collecting banned books and some history books for my grandson. I never thought I‘d have to. 14h

Origins of Totalitarianism | Hannah Arendt

Just finished viewing this mesmerizing PBS documentary- if you have access to PBS it‘s well-worth viewing! Parallels to our existing executive branch are glaring. #adventuresinphilosophy

Tamra Thanks for posting! Off to find it. 17h

squirrelbrain I just finished this book, in which Arendt is featured. Not sure I understood a lot of it, but still worth a read.

Charming epistolary novel with a spiky central character and a lot of book chat. Thanks for putting it on my radar @BarbaraBB

LeeRHarry Still waiting for my copy to come in the mail. I ordered it from Blqckwells as I really wanted the cover with the robins. 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. 2d

BarbaraBB I am glad you liked it! 2d

TheKidUpstairs If all goes right, my library hold will be in on time to bring this one to the cottage. It sounds like perfect cottage reading! 2d

Ruthiella What is this mystery about Mr. Preston? Also, I also love the Browning sisters! 3d

mcctrish I LOVE that everyone was aggrieved and defrauded by the late arrival hour and poor dress of the wealthy and the duchess. Preston and #notarealclare are the snobbiest, ill tempered social climbers anywhere 3d

peanutnine I'm beginning to really like Lady Harriet, and how she "learned her lesson" from Molly. I love how her familiarity with Molly and the Browning sisters annoys #notarealclare so much 3d

willaful Oh man! I used to have paper dolls of the women in that picture! Dover published them.

I'm suspecting that #NotARealClare set her cap at Mr. Preston but he wanted Cynthia. 🤢 And he seems to have some power over them, so maybe he knows something damaging. Possibly he did something damaging. 😬

Bklover @peanutnine Yes!!!! 3d

Lcsmcat @willaful I had those too, but mine was a coloring book. 3d

willaful @Lcsmcat There was nothing Dover couldn't do with copyright-free media. 😂 2d

willaful I actually tagged the wrong one, it was this.

julieclair Did it make you sad? Angry? Frustrated? I‘m interested in reading this, but I‘m not sure I‘m up for it right now. So I‘m wondering how you felt… 3d

DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳 3d

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair The first 1/4 or so made me so depressed I wanted to vomit from hopelessness. But as I read on, I felt more thoughtful and hopeful. Some of my initial reaction has a bit of a personal bend to it. Hope that helps 😊 3d

TheBookgeekFrau @ncsufoxes Agreed!!! Though part of me thinks they either wouldn't believe, or are laughing even louder all the way to the bank. 5d

KadaGul During grad school, I read and wrote a paper about "Evicted," which explores the housing issues in some struggling neighborhoods in Milwaukee. I really enjoyed the research process and put lots of effort into making the information engaging and interesting. The author pours his heart into the writing, which makes the topic hit home even harder! 3d

TheBookgeekFrau @KadaGul He really does! I've added Evicted to my wish list. 3d

All the President's Men | Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein

Donald Trump has Swiss cheese where his brain ought to be. To flagrantly supercede congress in an open hostile act, likely causing a war he won't live long enough to see. Illegal, unconscionable, and Un American. More below.

thebacklistbook The ramifications of this knee jerk decision will be felt for hundreds of years. A good proportion of my education is in political science and cultural anthropology. I am qualified to say this. We are screwed. The only saving grace now is if cooler heads prevail in Iran. 1w

dabbe “Cooler heads” in Iran? No wonder I‘m beyond terrified. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🎯🩵🎯 7d
