I just finished this. Despite it being written for younger readers, I found the premise compelling given our current political climate. It’s our individuality that makes for a healthy democracy, as opposed to acquiescing to a misguided and narrow minded collective. This is based on real events.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is worth your time, seriously. AOC puts the chaos into perspective while encouraging us that the fight is on.

The broligarchs have a vision for the new Trump term. It’s darker than you think. ο»ΏThe real reason Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos are supporting Trump.
