If I had a Tesla I’d get a bumper sticker reassuring other drivers that I hate Nazis. In my city, there are a lot of Tesla cars (and a few of the ridiculous cyber garbage trucks) and I can’t help wondering what the drivers think about Muskrat 🤔

After reading that chapter, I couldn’t trust it on the other chapters about which I had less prior knowledge.

Tbh, I was disappointed by this book. While I politically align with Zinn, the chapter I read first was bad. I read the chapter on the American Civil War first, which I know a little about. It was misleading in certain respects, if not outright wrong. And the book doesn’t have proper footnotes!

No doubt 😔 I just happen to know a little about the 19th century United States, and less about other eras/locations.

Oh, I'm no expert, I'm afraid! I just know a little from doing research for my novel.

Now, the oligarchs have Fox News and all the 'new' right wing media to keep low information voters disgruntled about the wrong things, like DEI programs.//

In the 19th century the white American aristocracy relied on newspapers for their propaganda. (If you read 19th century newspapers, you'll see there's zero attempt to be fair and impartial. It just wasn't a thing.)

I’ve read two of her novels before and they were both FANTASTIC!

The last book I bought was Promised Lands by Elizabeth Crook, for my Kobo.

Still no sign of a 💩 He’s got about 7 more hours until it’s been 24 hours since the dose of laxative. If nothing by then, we have to go back to the vet 😔

I recently listened to the audio of The Glass Hotel and enjoyed it. I had no idea the three books were connected.

What do you think of it? I’ve seen it all over and I have a hold on it at the library, but I’m about number 4279 in line 🤣

I recently listened to The Glass Hotel, which is also not my usual kind of thing, but I really enjoyed it!

Does it matter which order you read them in?

I wonder if part of it is just to look strong and macho, but with little risk to themselves.

I’m a Brit, living in Canada. I agree. Most people here say “the US” and sometimes “the States”. But certainly when I lived in the UK, people called it ‘America’. (That was pre-1997, though. Don’t know about now.)
