and a bonus, but one of the hardest books you'll read:
THE NAZI DOCTORS: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide by Robert Jay Lifton
doctors are fleeing GOP states because they refuse to kill by MEDICAL NEGLECT. it's beyond abortions or GReAT. it's the next step: medical prisons.
Recently, Twitter unveiled its brand new logo. It’s certainly not the first time this has happened, but the company seems insistent that this is going to be the last change we see for a while. Join us as we take a look at the new logo, discuss why it’s better or worse and analy...
When you "buy" a book on Kindle, you own only the right to read it as long as you have an Amazon account. When your public library lends you an ebook, it isn't lending something it owns in the first place, but is actually sub-leasing.
Read: "The Anti-Ownership Ebook Economy" for some very, very bad news about your -- and your library's -- rights in the digital age. https://www.nyuengelberg.org/outputs/the-anti-ownership-ebook-economy/

I keep hearing conservatives say they want to “own the libs.”

Remember: “A lib is for life, not just for Christmas.” Think hard before getting one for YOUR young conservative.
