  MSNBC's legal expert breaks down the ways disinformation has become a tool to drive voters to extremes, disempower our legal structures, and consolidate power in the hands of the few. 
   
   
   
  American society is more polarized than ever before. We are strategically being pushed apart by disinformation—the deliberate spreading of lies disguised as truth—and it comes at us from all sides: opportunists on the far right, Russian misinformed social media influencers, among others. It's endangering our democracy and causing havoc in our electoral system, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and in our Capitol. Advances in technology including rapid developments in artificial intelligence threaten to make the problems even worse by amplifying false claims and manufacturing credibility. In Attack from Within, legal scholar and analyst Barbara McQuade, shows us how to identify the ways disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society and how we can fight against it. 
   
   
   
  Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Scott W. Atlas's A Plague Upon Our House 
  The COVID-19 pandemic created panic all around the world, but was it what we were made to believe, or was there a political agenda hidden behind all the restrictions? 
  In A Plague Upon Our House, Dr. Scott W. Atlas details his couple months as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Politics had taken over science long before Atlas got there, and while he tried to bring back logic and critical thinking into decision-making, he had little impact. He discusses his views of the science behind the lockdowns and mask mandates - the science medical professionals on his team refused to believe. He sheds light on the politics behind every strategy implemented, and the utter chaos that ensued due to the contradictions in the media.

  Guaranteed to give the reader a deeper understanding of America’s most powerful judicial body, John Yoo, professor of law at UC Berkeley, and Robert Delahunty, professor of law at the University of St. Thomas detail in sprightly, slightly irreverent manner how the black robed judges who make up the U.S. Supreme Court have swung like a pendulum from saviors of the Republic to super-legislators who usurp the roll of Congress and dictate law from the bench, back to defenders of the Constitution again—or at least for the moment.

  Anarchism and Society - How...

  Anarchism, as a political philosophy, is fundamentally concerned with the question of authority and its rightful place in society. The central tenet of anarchism is the belief that no individual or institution should have absolute power over others. This idea rejects hierarchical structures and the idea of the state as a necessary or legitimate institution. Anarchism calls for a society where individuals govern themselves through voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, without the need for a coercive state apparatus. 
  Historically, anarchism has evolved from a series of intellectual traditions and movements that have sought to challenge the dominant power structures in society. It draws heavily on the ideas of early political thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who famously declared, "Property is theft!" and Mikhail Bakunin, who argued for the abolition of the state and the establishment of a society based on collective freedom and self-management. These thinkers were critical of the state, capitalism, and other forms of social hierarchy that limit human freedom. 
  Anarchism is often misunderstood or misrepresented as a chaotic or violent ideology. However, at its core, anarchism advocates for a peaceful and just society where individuals are free to govern themselves without external control. Anarchists argue that true freedom can only be achieved when people are no longer subject to the oppressive structures of the state, capitalism, or other forms of authoritarian control. They advocate for the dismantling of oppressive institutions and the creation of a more equitable and cooperative society.

  The Curse of Demagogues -...

  The Curse of Demagogues: Lessons Learned from the Presidency of Donald J. Trump is a collection of 32 essays by 22 writers that make the case that the pathway back to a healthy American democracy is for citizens to understand demagogues and defend against them. 
  More than any other book in print, The Curse of Demagogues makes the story of Donald Trump's rise to the White House coherent and understandable. Trump, a demagogue, gained ascendancy in a laissez-faire political culture wherein neither the Republican Party nor the other gatekeepers of democracy, including the news media, effectively counteracted him. Once in the highest office in the land, Trump devolved into authoritarianism in order to retain power, as demagogues are well-known to do. 
  The book has three overarching aims. First, it constitutes a short history of Trump's years in the White House (and his first two campaigns for president) as told from the perspective of scholars, journalists, and legal experts who specifically warned the public about his dangers as a demagogue in real time. Second, the collection is a detailed primer on demagogues and the multifarious ways they poison the vital organs of constitutional democracy. Third, the book is an urgent call to restore gatekeepers to their essential role as defenders of democracy against demagogues. 
  To revivify our once great democracy, we must defend it against demagogues by strengthening gatekeeping systems within political parties, the media, and the US Congress (powers of impeachment, conviction, and disqualification from future office), and through vigorous civics, ethics, and media literacy education for grades K-12.  
  As Eli Merritt, editor and contributor, writes in the book's introduction: 
  "The enemy of democracy is not a Democrat or Republican. It is a demagogue."
