  From artist, activist, and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova, a guerilla guide to radical protest and joyful political resistance. 
  The face of modern protest is wearing a brightly colored ski mask.  
  Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protestor, brazen feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with. Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving guerilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She’s been horse-whipped by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21, 2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest song in a Moscow church.  
  She was sent to a Russian prison for 18 months and emerged as an international symbol of radical resistance, as calls to “Free Pussy Riot” resounded around the world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite overwhelming and ugly political corruption.  
  Read & Riot is structured around Nadya’s ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical “call your senator” guidelines, Read & Riot gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting—even joyful.

  Consistency - The Steady...

  In a world that is constantly evolving, where change seems to be the only constant, the concept of consistency emerges as a vital cornerstone for personal growth, professional success, and enduring relationships. Consistency is not simply about adhering to routines or following habits; it represents a deliberate commitment to living with integrity, purpose, and unwavering resolve. This chapter examines the true meaning of consistency and explains how maintaining a steady approach can fundamentally transform every area of our lives. 
  At its essence, consistency is the alignment of our actions, words, and beliefs over time. It is the practice of showing up each day, regardless of the challenges we face, and performing in a manner that is true to our deepest convictions. Such steady adherence creates a solid foundation of trust and reliability, qualities that are indispensable both in personal interactions and in the professional sphere. Those who master consistency often find that their lives become more predictable, their relationships stronger, and their sense of self more grounded. 
  Yet, the path to consistency is rarely without obstacles. Life is filled with distractions, setbacks, and unforeseen changes that can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Embracing consistency means accepting that challenges are an inherent part of any journey. It is about learning to see setbacks not as failures, but as opportunities to learn and grow. By focusing on incremental progress and taking deliberate, small steps each day, we develop the resilience needed to persevere and achieve long-term success.

  Rediscovering Republicanism -...

  When well-designed institutions function properly, people thrive. Few institutions have been more ingeniously designed than the U.S. federal government via the Constitution in 1787. This auspicious beginning more than two centuries ago helps explain why the U.S. remains a magnet for opportunity seekers, students, entrepreneurs, dissidents, and persecuted believers.Yet for decades now, America’s federal government has been underperforming. Social Security and Medicare face looming insolvency. The federal government’s “war on poverty” has failed to “end poverty” and arguably made it worse. In 2012, the United States Postal Service lost more money than the nation spent on the State Department, and Amtrak has lost money every year since being created in 1971. How can an enduring institution, so thoughtfully crafted, now produce such poor results?The federal government has grown so much because it serves a new and different vision, American Progressivism. American Progressives believed that democratically elected, public-minded federal politicians and employees could use federal programs to solve the nation’s greatest problems in a way no other American institution could. This idea justified the federal government’s massive expansion: today, the federal government runs over 1,500 programs and employs over 5% of the U.S. workforce.Yet federal results do not match Progressive expectations. Three key problems – “windfall politics”, “the government surcharge”, and “complexity failure” – overlooked by American Progressives explain the federal government’s consistent failures. American Progressive’s rosy-eyed view of human nature and political institutions have not been borne out by the evidence.In an era of substantial political fermentation and debate, rediscovering and re-applying American Republicanism represents the best path forward for the United States. The federal government should retain many necessary responsibilities but turn over those where it has failed.

  Community as Rebellion - A...

  Weaving personal narrative with political analysis, Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia.  Much like other women scholars of color, Lorgia García Peña has struggled against the colonizing, racializing, classist, and unequal structures that perpetuate systemic violence within universities. Through personal experiences and analytical reflections, the author invites listeners—in particular Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian women—to engage in liberatory practices of boycott, abolition, and radical community-building to combat the academic world's tokenizing and exploitative structures. 
   
   
   
  García Peña argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls "teaching in freedom": a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge, silenced histories, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous, Black, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception, but also create alternative ways to be, create, live, and succeed through our work.

  Narrated by Matthew Schmitz of Altrusian Grace Media, this English prose version of the Ramayana is told in a story form capturing the true and authentic spirit of the original Sanskrit and which makes it easy and enjoyable to listen to. The Ramayana is one of the greatest epics of ancient literature, a monumental work that has transcended the boundaries of time and culture to become a story cherished across generations and geographies. Composed by the sage Valmiki, it is not just a tale of heroism and divine adventure, but a profound reflection on the complexities of dharma, the power of devotion, and the triumph of good over evil. Set in a world imbued with gods, demons, and the forces of nature, the Ramayana follows the journey of Lord Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, who embodies the virtues of righteousness, honor, and compassion. His exile into the forest, the abduction of his devoted wife, Sita, by the demon king Ravana, and the epic battle that ensues form the narrative’s core. Yet, within its grand scope, it is also a story of friendship, loyalty, and the resilience of the human spirit. At its heart, the Ramayana presents universal themes that resonate with readers across eras—the struggle between light and darkness, the moral dilemmas faced in the pursuit of justice, and the ultimate victory of truth. Rama’s unwavering adherence to dharma, Sita’s unparalleled faith, Hanuman’s boundless devotion, and Ravana’s tragic ambition are all rich in lessons that continue to guide and inspire. This ancient epic is more than just a chronicle of divine exploits; it is a mirror reflecting the ideals and failings of humanity. The Ramayana offers insights into values that have shaped human civilization and provides a compass for navigating the complexities of life. Its verses are steeped in poetic beauty and layered with allegorical meanings, inviting listeners not only to witness an extraordinary saga but also reflect on their own journey.
