Recomendation: 'Dictatorship, it's easier than you think'

Sarah Kendzior is a bright light, an activism-minded anthropologist with a keen eye for the contiunuum between the social and the political. Did her PhD research in Russia, studying the underpinnings of Putin's regime as its new rules were being established, then returned "home" and turned the same analytical eye on what Bush and his allies were building in the Midwest. I recommend her "View from Flyover Country" essays, in addition to the above. A much more clear-eyed look at the American heartland than our Vice President offered in his topically similar work. I don't know her co-author as well, though as the book cover notes they host an entertaining little podcast together, Gaslit Nation.



Spicy, but always informative.

I was reading over the United Empire Loyalists website the other day and now I watch this video. I think she has a point
 
I've had this book on my kindle and finally got into reading it. Great book by the late Frans de Waal. No surprise that animals share many of the same emotions that we humans do.

In "Mama's Last Hug," New York Times best-selling author and primatologist Frans de Waal takes readers on an emotional journey into the lives of animals, revealing the profound capacities for love, joy, and empathy that they share with humans. Building on the insights from his previous work, "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?", de Waal centers the narrative on Mama, a beloved chimpanzee matriarch, and her poignant farewell with biologist Jan van Hooff. Their heartwarming last embrace, captured on film and shared with millions, serves as a powerful testament to the emotional connections that bridge species. Through Mama's story and other compelling examples, de Waal challenges preconceived notions of human uniqueness by illustrating the continuity of emotions across species. "Mama's Last Hug" invites us to rethink our relationship with the animal kingdom, highlighting our shared emotional heritage and reshaping our understanding of the living world.
