It's time to fight back. In November 2016, Donald Trump lost the national popular voteby a lot!yet managed to stumble into the White House. Trump's presidency is not just an indictment of our political systemit's an affront to our core values as a nation. How could such an ignorant autocratic buffoon claim to represent such a diverse, open, and free society? A majority of Americans have been shocked, dismayed, and disgustedfor good reasonby Trump's actions since he took office. But we aren't taking it lying down. Across the United States, the Resistance is growing, as many thousands of patriotic Americans lead the charge against the corrupt and traitorous Trump regimeand the Republican Party that is enabling him. Markos Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos, and Michael Huttner, founder of ProgressNow, have built two of the nation's largest advocacy organizations. Now, in The Resistance Handbook: 45 Ways to Fight Trump, they offer a much-needed guide to fighting Trump and building a better, more just, and more equitable America. This book is for all Americans who consider themselves part of the Resistancepeople like us who wake up every day and think, What more can I do to stop Trump? The book offers 45 ways to stop the 45th president of the United States in his tracks, including ways to: Protect our culture from the degrading effects of Trump's presidency, which rewarded bullying, sexism, racism, and xenophobia. Protect our communities from Trump's personal attacks, which he and his Republican friends target at women, people of color, youth, immigrants, Jewish people, Muslims, and others. Fight for our values and the issues that define usin the face of a four-year assault on racial justice, income equality, the environment, women's rights, education, and worker's rights. Build the infrastructure this movement needs (and sorely lacks), including the capacity to register and get out the vote for the 97 million Americans who didn't cast a ballot in 2016; to find, train and promote tomorrow's leaders; and to develop the media organizations that will report the facts and promote our values and candidates.









"Louis had a keen, intuitive understanding of the metaphysics of a knife in the back." The door-darkening and nomadic Louis sweeps into town to take Ida, his on-gain off-again, away on holiday. When the long-suffering and law-abiding Ida discovers that Louis only wants her along to help him rob a bank, she comes up with a plan of her own. She will have the money and set up Louis for the fall. But soon it is Ida who the police decide is the criminal mastermind and, after Louis's supposedly long dead brother shows up with an axe in him, she becomes a murder suspect as well. By turns bleak, fast-paced and laced with dark humour, The Aching Lust for Crime is an ingeniously plotted crime novel of exiles from the land of social and consumer success who are seduced by the lure of crime to make their dreams come true. If they will only begin to co-operate they might have a chance. The Aching Lust for Crime is reminiscent of Jim Thompson's novels with their marginalized characters, but there are also elements of the absurd, impossible coincidences, dark humour, and social satire.
