Just finished listening to this book, and it's such an important read for all the reasons you think. If you're not interested in the whole book, at least read/listen to Chapter 48.

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up nowβ€”if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to complyβ€”you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

This January 6th video. Jesus Christ.

Never let them gaslight you on this. It was a violent, dangerous coup against the rule of law and the Constitution.

It nearly succeeded, and they'll damn sure try it again.
