The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift.

Well explained Loss of Democracy
Revisado: 02-26-25
It was a well told narrative of how democracy and white supremacy and racism have always been and still are a part of this country. It is difficult to wrap my mind around that. The lengths one party will go to to remain in power. It’s stunning. A must read.

At the front of a middle-school classroom in Oklahoma, a boy named Khosrou (whom everyone calls "Daniel") stands, trying to tell a story. His story. But no one believes a word he says. To them he is a dark-skinned, hairy-armed boy with a big butt whose lunch smells funny; who makes things up and talks about poop too much.

Could not get through it—2 out of 7 hrs
Revisado: 09-13-20
I heard his interview on NPR and thought it would be an interesting read. I was not ready for the gory details. After the “bag of cats” story, that was it for me. So depressing I knew I could not finish it. I am so sorry. I know it is a personal story and has relevance and meaning but with everything else going on, I don’t need this in my mind to ponder. I am sorry too that he wound up in a community who does not accept outsiders and am not sure life was a whole lot better except he and his mother are alive instead of beheaded.
Daniel does a great job reading and providing verbal cues and nuance but the story is extremely sad and overwhelming. I believe this is why soldiers returning to “normal” life cannot speak of the atrocities they have seen and experienced—we cannot relate and are horrified. It is a burden to all. I appreciate his willingness to tell his story but I cannot make room for it in my mind and heart just now. Best wishes on his book and hope others are braver and tougher than I am and will finish and appreciate the whole story.
