Where can I see this. I read this in 2019 & thought it was stunning. Just finished her Hollow Fires.

Ali, I love your optimism.

Unfortunately, what I witnessed in the 2024 election were too many young men voting for Trump because Wynne Casinos gave fake odds Trump would lose so they made that bet and voted for him to win big money.

They aren't going to save us if there's a buck to be made.

You rock, Ali.

I looked into it, and just secured it at my library. Sounds like a must read. Thank you. Excited to start following you. It’s been my mission recently to start obtaining books at risk of censure or banning.

I don't watch MSNBC anymore, but I'm pleasantly surprised you still have a show.

When are you returning home to Toronto? I'd much rather watch you than Rosie Barton

Hey Ali it's past time for you to come home to Canada, and to be very public about why you're doing so. No amount of money should see you or any Canadian with a conscience remaining in the US.

Great segment today. I’ve added”Internment” to my tbr list. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

The people banning books don’t want real change, they just want to regress to how things were when they were the only ones with rights.

Thanks to your banned book club, I've started collecting banned Graphic Novels.
I'm up to 6 so far and have two more on my list to purchase from the local indie bookstore. 🙏🏽
