The book is structured into two halves, the first half diagnosing problems and the second half proposing solutions. Danny urges listeners to make a positive difference through engagement and active citizenry.

Am 7. Dezember 2022 rückten mehr als 3 000 Polizisten zur wohl größten Anti-Terror-Razzia in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik aus. Sie verhafteten die Rädelsführer einer Gruppe aus dem Reichsbürgermilieu, die einen gewaltsamen Umsturz der Regierung geplant hatte. Wer aber sind diese Reichsbürger, die die Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht als legitimen Staat anerkennen, von einer BRD GmbH fabulieren und sich immer noch im Deutschen Reich wähnen?

In the 1970s, Washington’s center of power began to shift away from elected officials in big marble buildings to a handful of savvy, handsomely paid operators who didn’t answer to any fixed constituency. The cigar-chomping son of an influential congressman, an illustrious political fixer with a weakness for modern art, a Watergate-era dirty trickster, the city’s favorite cocktail party host—these were the sort of men who now ran Washington.

American Identity in Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist in the wake of the 2016 presidential election; the fight against the onerous rules that are being used to keep vulnerable and targeted populations from participating in all facets of American life -from obtaining jobs and housing to going to the polls—and how we can solve a problem that impacts millions of American adults. Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways.

After a series of escapades both online and off that brought him in and out of 4chan forums, the halls of power, heroin addiction, and federal prison, Barrett Brown is a free man. He was arrested for his part in an attempt to catalog, interpret, and disseminate top-secret documents exposed in a security lapse by the intelligence contractor Stratfor in 2011. An influential journalist who is also active in the hacktivist collective Anonymous, Brown recounts exploits from a life shaped by an often self-destructive drive to speak truth to power.

Demokratie in Gefahr – und was wir dagegen tun können. Es sind beunruhigende Zeiten: Vor wenigen Jahren waren Rechtsextremisten im Parteienspektrum noch weitgehend isoliert. Heute denken Teile der Union offen über eine Koalition mit ihnen nach. Und während antidemokratische Positionen in der Breite der Gesellschaft stetig an Zustimmung gewinnen, verzeichnet die AfD in den Wahlumfragen für 2024 Spitzenwerte. Höchste Zeit, sich mit der realen Gefahr einer autoritären Machtübernahme auseinanderzusetzen.

It has been the source of some of the most explosive scandals in American politics over the last century, quietly shaping U.S. foreign policy while producing lucrative paydays for some of the biggest names in Washington.

Selling America shines a harsh light on the shadowy intersection of U.S. government diplomacy and private dealmaking.

In 2004, the journalist Bill Bishop, armed with original and startling demographic data, made national news in a series of articles showing how Americans have been sorting themselves over the past three decades into alarmingly homogeneous communities—not by region or by red state or blue state, but by city and even neighborhood. In The Big Sort, Bishop deepens his analysis in a brilliantly reported book that makes its case from the ground up, starting with stories about how we live today.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark document in the history of human rights, and Eleanor Roosevelt played a significant role in its development.

It was drafted by representatives from different legal and cultural backgrounds, including Eleanor Roosevelt, who chaired the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

In American Patriots, historian Ralph Young chronicles the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States. Some of these protesters are celebrated heroes of American history, while others are ordinary people, frequently overlooked, whose stories show that change is often accomplished through grassroots activism. Yet not all dissent is equal. In 2021, thousands of rioters stormed the US Capitol, and Americans on both sides of the aisle watched the destruction with horror. American Patriots contrasts this attack with the history of American protest.

The world’s largest democracy is facing the greatest challenge since the end of British colonial rule in 1947. The Incarcerations tells the remarkable and chilling story of the unravelling of Indian democracy through the Bhima Koregaon case, in which 16 people (the BK-16) – scholars, lawyers, democratic rights activists, artists and poets – have been imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, for waging war against the Indian state as Maoist terrorists.

Warum wir zynische Geldmacher, egomane Politiker und deren Lügen bekämpfen müssen. Die Welt steckt in der Endphase eines Kulturkampfs: Gier gegen Gerechtigkeit, Zerstörung gegen Nachhaltigkeit, Zynismus gegen Empathie. Nichts zeigt dies deutlicher als die Reaktionen auf die Klimakatastrophe: Hier jene, die versuchen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern, dort jene, die alles tun, um aus dem Verbrennen fossiler Stoffe Profit zu ziehen.

When both levees and governments failed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, an organization calling itself the Common Ground Collective formed to become the largest anarchist inspired organization in modern US history.

Chaim Gans's A Political Theory for the Jewish People examines the two dominant interpretations of Zionism, contrasts them with post-Zionist alternatives, and develops a third model.

Warum Protest viel mehr kann, als wir denken – und jeder Einzelne entscheidet. Der Mensch kann brutal egoistisch sein, selbstgerecht und rücksichtslos. Dennoch: Wenn erst einmal eine kleine kritische Masse für ein größeres Ziel in Bewegung kommt, kann sie unaufhaltsam werden in ihrer Wirkmacht und revolutionäre Veränderungen schaffen. Kaum eine Errungenschaft unserer Demokratien wäre ohne kollektiven Mut denkbar gewesen. Viele der heute drängenden Kämpfe ‒ allen voran den um unsere Lebensgrundlagen ‒ haben die meisten jedoch nicht einmal begonnen.
