Reggie Yeah, I saw that video where they talk about food assistance was created as part of the new deal and because the southern senators were racist, they would only vote for it if people of color were excluded. So for 30 years it was whites only. Wild the stuff we‘ve been fed into thinking. 4d

Queen Sally is becoming one of my favorite characters. I love the storytelling, the simplicity of the characters and the themes throughout the book.

I didn't think I'd finish, but here we are. I hated this book the first 4 chapters and then boom I'm invested. The story is told through multiple characters, and FYI they're shitty people, as they unravel a tale of lies, deceit and multiple murders...I only finished because it was hard to put down

I couldn't put it down. The story explains how past traumas of state violence continue to shape and effect the lives of the Palestinians today. It also brings to attention that the "victors" get to be the ones to record the narrative and highlights what is omitted while calling into question how reliable the "Official " narrative is

I got this from my book subscription & in all honestly I was pissed to realize this was a pet peeve book, when they dress up a soft core porn romance as something else...but it was pretty well written with a decent storyline that I wanted to find out. So you can imagine my annoyance that it ended on a cliffhanger, because I won't get book 2 to find out how it ends...but what do I know, I'm just some bitch

AmyG Is murder wrong? Yes. But….I‘ll say it again. He was a victim of his own rhetoric. 2mo
itsjustme40something There's a difference between withholding empathy and celebrating violence. But, the right is so desperately making him a martyr , and trying to ignite violence without a single arrest or question answered that it feels a little too prepped & manufactured. Wouldn't be surprised if he was the decided in sacrificial lamb for their agenda and nobody is ever caught 2mo
Chrissyreadit I agree that it seems possible he was silenced to create a distraction or quiet calls for epstein files or who knows why… at the end of the day i will neither celebrate nor mourn him- and use my energy towards people who care about human beings. Your post was spot on. 2mo

This book was insane, I actually dropped it as I physically reacted to a scene of horror. (Which never happens)
The characters are extremely unlikable and its a bit over the top, but damn if it didn't get me caught up in a story and entertained by where it went.

I will not call this "Aligator anything", no this is Donald's Dachau...the 1st concentration camp established by the Nazi's. They were so proud of their 1st concentration camp that they would have sold merch if they could have too.
If you're feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and like you have no control over any of this...remember calling it what it is , a concentration camp is resistance. Joy is resistance, knowledge is resistance. Resist

I know what her books are & are not. While not peak literary achievement, her characters are relatable and her storytelling is so familiar its comfort for me.
After a breathtakingly shitty few days I needed to let my self disappear into Weiners easy story and the world of the Griffin Sisters
