Don't buy it from Amazon! Good grief! Why are you promoting Amazon?

It sounds surprisingly like the UCP in AB. First it was Kenney, who was then quickly usurped by Smith. Her daily list of breaking things is now legion.

Reading your book now - thank you

Ordered it last week from a local bookstore🙃

I wish more people learned from your lessons and history but I know so many people that say “it won’t happen here”. I hope they are right but in my small way, I prepare for the alternative.

I ordered direct from Harper Collins to support the publisher rather than Amazon!

Many friends are cautious and saying, "let's see where this goes" - but you are at your most powerful right now. Every day you do not act normalizes impunity and makes you and the people you serve weaker.

*SERIOUSLY.* Where it goes??? It's already there.

I for one have been contacting my congresscritters regularly.

Given that they're currently trying to get into the USAID building, it seems these calls actually help get something done.

Oh hell yeah they do.

In addition, every day that passes emboldens them and gives them more of what WAS your power.

Ya I hear that from a friend I grew up with, she's in a red State and she belongs to one of those evangelical cult churches, off the deep end! Sadly Pope Francis was trying to weed out the corruption and project 2025 in the Catholic Church which is trying to control all religion since $= religion

Just adding a non-Amazon option for buying: https://bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-stand-up-to-a-dictator-the-fight-for-our-future-maria-ressa/18321577

Just reading your book now. Highly recommended.
Important for us in Canada too who have upcoming elections.
Although, I would recommend one change, to purchase from an independent bookstore.
