  America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how the government and corporate America misuse our personal data and shows how we can reclaim our privacy. 
   
  Most Americans are worried about how companies like Facebook invade their privacy and harvest their data, but many people don't fully understand the details of how their information is being adapted and misused. In this thought-provoking and accessible book, New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals exactly how the government and corporations are tracking our every online move and using our data to buy elections, employ social control, and score and monetize our lives. 
   
  Hartmann uses extensive, vivid examples to highlight the consequences of Big Data on all aspects of our lives. Along with tracing the history of surveillance, he shows how we got to where we are today, how China-with its new Social Credit System-serves as a warning, and how we can and must avoid a similarly dystopian future. 
   
  By delving into the Constitutional right to privacy, Hartmann reminds us of our civil right and shows how we can restore it.

  In the Mind of Stalin

  On 1 October 1939, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and soon to be the UK’s wartime leader, described Russia as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’. The same can certainly be said of Stalin. How can this paradox of a man, who on the one hand had once exhibited great tenderness and kindness to his daughter Svetlana, and on the other sent millions – including members of his own family - to their deaths, be explained? 
   
  It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. 
   
  However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable. 
   
  Svetlana confessed that she ‘would never undertake to “explain” what motivated all my father’s actions, simply because I do not possess the psychological genius of [Russian novelist] Dostoevsky, who knew how to “penetrate” into another man’s soul and “examine it from within”’.

  ""Ainsley Arment has emerged as one of the most prominent voices in [this] grass-roots community."" — New York Times 
  As parents, we dream of creating a magical childhood for our kids, yet it can be so easy to slip into autopilot. Ainsley Arment-- a mother of five, founder of the thriving community Wild + Free, and bestselling author-- is no stranger to the barrage of decisions, opportunities, and daily tasks that each day brings. But what Ainsley has discovered is that the magic of life isn’t found in the hustle and bustle of constant activity but in the intentional ordinary decisions of our days. And when we assume that a family has to look or act a certain way, we miss the opportunity to build a meaningful and fulfilling life together.  
  Drawn from her family's stories and those shared by the Wild + Free community, The Wild + Free Family explores how to create a family culture that breaks the mold by seeking to connect with our children, unleash their gifts, pursue a shared vision together, and redeem generational brokenness, among so much more. Inside these pages are Ainsley’s words of encouragement, honesty, and wisdom, guiding all parents to create a home where families can forge their own path to love stronger, live more fully, and grow closer to each other.

  Carolingians and the Moors The:...

  While the Moors have always been associated with Spain due to their lengthy stay on the Iberian Peninsula, the most famous battle they were involved in was actually fought in modern France. While the Franks were consolidating a kingdom there, Muslim forces were pushing out of North Africa and into the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century, and by the dawn of the 730s, the Umayyad dynasty had expanded its territory from the Atlantic to the Pyrenees, a series of seasonally snow-capped mountains in Europe that forms a border between the nations of Spain and France. This would lead to Charles Martel’s most famous military victory came at the Battle of Tours, also called the Battle of Poitiers, on October 10, 732. At this battle, a united Frankish force decisively defeated the invading Umayyad Caliphate, making it one of the most important in all the Middle Ages for stemming the advancement of the Islamic forces in Europe. 
  	Charles Martel was the forefather of the Carolingian dynasty, which carved out a major empire in Europe from 750-887, ushered in an important period in the Early Middle Ages. The Carolingians were in their time seen as the successors of ancient Rome in the West, and while they sought to reestablish the glory of antiquity, they’re remembered today for effectively founding the states that would become France and Germany. 	The Carolingians are also credited with creating the first Renaissance, the Carolingian Renaissance, centuries before the Italian Renaissance. Many of the great Latin classics survive today because of copies made during this period. In addition, the revisions made to written script at this time made texts easier to read, so much so that most of those changes remain in the modern system of writing.

  Subtle Abuse - Indirect Forms of...

  Subtle abuse is a form of psychological harm that often goes unnoticed, yet its effects can be just as damaging as more overt forms of mistreatment. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves visible marks, or direct verbal abuse, which is easier to identify, subtle abuse operates in the shadows, disguised as normal behavior, misunderstandings, or even acts of care. This makes it particularly dangerous because victims may not recognize it until significant emotional and psychological damage has already occurred. 
  At its core, subtle abuse is about control, manipulation, and emotional harm inflicted in ways that are difficult to detect. It can take many forms, including gaslighting, passive-aggressive behavior, emotional withholding, and undermining someone’s confidence in indirect ways. A common characteristic of subtle abuse is its plausibility—it often leaves victims doubting their own experiences and questioning whether they are simply overreacting. Because the harm is delivered in small, often deniable doses, victims may struggle to explain their distress to others, further isolating them in their experience. 
  One of the most insidious aspects of subtle abuse is its ability to erode a person’s sense of self over time. The victim may start to feel insecure, anxious, or even incapable, not realizing that their mental state has been shaped by constant, indirect put-downs or the gradual withholding of emotional support. For example, a partner who consistently dismisses concerns with phrases like “You’re too sensitive” or “I was just joking” may be engaging in subtle emotional abuse by invalidating the other person’s feelings. Similarly, a boss who subtly undermines an employee’s work without overt criticism may be manipulating them into self-doubt and compliance.
