Even if we could set aside the rampant disinformation influencing the current regime‘s justification for ripping the guts out of federal government agencies (which is a very big “if” to take into account), it just doesn‘t make sense to do it the way they‘re doing it. As we‘ve already seen, they fired people they really shouldn‘t have fired.

True budgetary and policy analysis takes weeks if not months to accomplish properly. #longtimefed #psrw

LeahBergen I didn‘t get a sausage for voting here in Canada on Monday! 😠😆😆 6d
CarolynM @Aims42 Australia voted in the federal election today. Our polling places are mostly school and church halls. A lot of their communities use it as an opportunity to raise money by holding sausage sizzles and sometimes cake stalls. It‘s become a part of the culture to buy a sausage after casting your vote. 6d
CarolynM @TheBookHippie It‘s a community building thing 🙂 Doesn‘t matter who you vote for, everyone wants to buy a sausage. 6d

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 2025 Bookclub Pick

First half better than the 2nd half. Enjoyed that the author came with facts and made historical comparisons. Did not expect it to predict current day issues despite being published in 2017.

I've been meaning to read this since 2017, but kept putting it off. I had to wait awhile for my library hold to come in. So many people are reading this right now. 🤔

This is a succinct list of 20 lessons we (should) have learned from the last century on how to turn away from fascism and tyranny. I feel a need to keep running this info through my brain, so I have also placed holds on the audio and the graphic novel versions of this book.

This book is short in stature and length. And now is a good time to read it. I finished it on a 3 hour flight with plenty of time to delve back into my other book.

Apparently there are numbers of readers who do not understand the messaging in Fantasy. I am guessing if they did we would see more book bans…. cause a woman who thinks is dangerous.
