Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

“Multiple library board members read the two books, praised them for their content, and said neither met requirements to relocate them into the adult section.”

Because every time there is a requirement to actually read the books, book banners lose

Honeycrisp apples, bananas, tangelos, kiwis, grapes, berries, and frozen passion fruit! Also cucumbers and carrots. Must have my fruits and veggies every day!

People need access to libraries. If more people were able to read and pay attention to history, we might not be in this current situation. Support your local libraries.

Cute level: 🤯

Nice to see a true representative of the people! Safe travels.
