First book of 2026: By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land by Rebecca Nagle
Very interesting and informative, though also really enraging. Well written and provides a good overview of how different levels of government and corporations have leveraged power to further control & coerce, and to stifle the freedom & sovereignty of Native nations.
I learned about this book from someone else on here, so passing along the recommendation!
This book is a must-read. It helped me face some of my own cowardice, while also profoundly reframing the importance of action, even when small.
One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
“Housing, in this view, is too precious and important to be left to the whims of the market: it is a cornerstone of both human dignity and societal well-being.”
Finished There Is No Place For Us by Brian Gladstone and I’m left furious & mobilized. It is a beautiful telling of the stories of a number of people with insecure housing. For #ontario folks, there’s an unwelcome presence of a T.O. developer involved in the removal of affordable housing in Atlanta. A highly recommended read.
