By Hands Now Known by Margaret A. Burnham isn’t just history β€” it’s evidence.
Jim Crow’s violence wasn’t β€œextra-legal.” It was the law.
Burnham exposes how courts, cops, and lawmakers built a system that made racial terror routine β€” and how its legacy still underpins American power

It’s a very complete book. It shows how imperfect and greedy our founding fathers were. How irrational exhuberance drove slave the American economic and countries expansion. An the the corruption by people like Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan. Not to mention the forgiveness of the traitors

#booknumber112025 The American Slave Coast by Ned & Constance Sublette is like pulling back the curtain on one of America’s most calculated atrocities β€” the slave-breeding industry. It’s both meticulous history and a necessary reckoning. Have you read it? What struck you most? #booksky #ushistory

If you’re even a little interested in cyber warfare, state-sponsored hacking, or how digital tools are changing global power dynamics, grab The Hacker and the State by Ben Buchanan. Fascinating, sharp, and deeply relevant. πŸ§ πŸ’»

Just read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. Wild how Wall Street built a $300 million fiber optic line just to shave milliseconds off tradesβ€”meanwhile I’m still waiting 20 minutes for my lunch order.
Capitalism, but make it fast.

#booksky #booknumber62025 Just finished Standing Tall by Jake Sloan β€” the incredible story of Willie Long, a Black welder who challenged systemic racism at Mare Island and took the U.S. government to court… and won. Civil rights history that should be more widely known. #LaborJustice #BlackHistory
