I was disheartened to see the senior leaders of the Democratic Party give away their votes for nothing on the continuing resolution today. I feel there are limited opportunities for effective resistance in Congress right now, and this was one that slipped by. Laws are being disregarded daily, and I feel powerless to do anything about it. I’m hoping to read books about events that shape today’s Democratic Party, resistance politics, what you can do when those in power are ignoring laws, oligarchy, federal workers, etc. Do you have any recommendations?

I don’t have any suggestions about the Democratic Party but here are some great books about the other things you requested:
*A history of America in ten strikes* by Erik Loomis
*Red deal* by Red Nation
*Black against empire* by Bloom and Martin
Not specifically about resistance politics or the Democratic party, but I think several works on political theory are highly relevant to our time
*The Origins of Totalitarianism* and *The Human Condition* by Hannah Arendt
*Escape from Freedom* by Erich Fromm
They are hard reads but worthy
They voted for Noem, for all of trump’s nominees, for greens censure…didn’t stop trump under Biden….they aren’t interested in resisting
