3. No fiction this week.

I am reading non-fiction, "Democracy in Chains," by Nancy MacLean.

It pulls together a lot of things that most politically aware DUers know already. It gives a history of the fair right's work to eliminate unions, suppress the vote, get rid of public education and prove that climate change is a myth.

It is not a new book. It was written in 2017.

It is important to know the roots and the history of these billionaires who are trying to subvert our democracy and take over the country.

I will get back to fiction later.

On edit: Everything is rooted in racism. Everything!!
