I recommend the Nobel Prize-winning "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa.
I also recommend a 2020 article from The New Yorker ("How to Stop a Power Grab") that features the work of Erica Chenoweth, an expert in civil resistance. The article provides an impressive tutuorial & master class in how to achieve change through very clever, organized nonviolent means. Even more relevant and critical now! https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/11/23/how-to-stop-a-power-grab
Thank you, Leslie. I'm going to check out both of these suggestions. I knew about the Ressa book but I had not heard of the Chenoweth article. I appreciate the recommendations!
This was a great newsletter coming at a time when I feel the same. It does help to know others are going through the same emotional swings, especially someone I admire. Anyone But Her is in my TBR pile. And I'll pick up a recommendation or two from your list. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Trina. We need to stick together if we want any chance of getting through this.
