Short, powerful essays on what we can do now to cope with Trump’s election, and how, moving forward, we can protect our values, our politics, and our country. Contributors: Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)…
We’re heartbroken. We’re excited. We’re energized. We’re scared. We’re confident that books can help—and this one in particular.
What We Do Now features essays on activism from twenty-seven leading progressives, including Gloria Steinem, Elizabeth Warren, George Saunders, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, Cornell William Brooks, Dave Eggers, and Paul Krugman. It’s out on January 17th, just three days before Trump’s inauguration.
Pre-order it today. And get ready.
This is how it begins. Last week, Frank Navarro, a Holocaust scholar and a World Studies, Civics/Economics, and Special Education teacher at Mountain View High School (in Mountain View, California, that supposedly deep blue bastion of progressive liberalism, of world-changing…
A teacher made a historically accurate comparison of Donald Trump and Hitler—and then was forced to go on administrative leave.

Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis opens Spirit of Eden, the band’s penultimate record from 1988, with the line, “Oh yeah, world’s turned upside down.” The lyric, sung in Hollis’s unmistakably sonorous voice (like a viola being bowed), confirms the band’s conscious…
Some notes (and a playlist!) toward listening to music in Trump’s America
Yesterday I read a tweet from the New York Times, referring to possible Chief of Staff and definite racist Steve Bannon as a “conservative provocateur.” I mean, come on. Surely we can come up with a better word for someone…

seriously, visit a bookstore or library. those are good places to be in times like these.
So: I’m in the dark, in mid-air. Like everyone else in America, tonight. The plane’s path is stitching together all those big central states. All those Trump states; the land we call “flyover country,” even though it’s most of the country. When I look down, I see nothing; no cities means no light. I can’t tell you how it feels, or looks, what the mythology of the land is, what the assumptions there are. I can’t give you a portrait, the way I might if I’d breathed the air, drank the water. It’s just a void, a black blank slate, for miles. It will stay that way until tomorrow, until those states, and all the others, write the history of the world.

The American Booksellers Association and Civic Economics have issued an update to their “Amazon and Empty Storefronts” report from February, and it shows a problem getting worse, not better. As David Grogan at Bookselling This Week points out, the original report contradicted…

In 1933, Aryan dudes and dudettes all across Germany were burning books in what they called an Aktion wider den undeutschen Geist (“Campaign Against the Un-German Spirit”). Fires went up in most major cities, including, on May 19th of that year, a big one at Friedrichsplatz Park in Kassel,…
