The holidays are coming. Which means a lot of plastic crap and the annual ritual of pretending everything is fine while the world burns.

Or—you could give a book. Specifically, two books that don’t lie to you.

📕 50 Articles the Media Wouldn’t Publish

This is exactly what it sounds like.

Fifty pieces that corporate media either ignored, censored, or politely pretended didn’t exist. Because they say the quiet part out loud: about power, collapse, resistance, and why “business as usual” is a death cult. I lay out the case for radical nonviolent revolution with the clarity and urgency that have made him one of the most controversial voices in modern activism. If you’re tired of being gaslit by headlines and hot takes, this one’s for you. 

📗 Grasping the Enormity of the Moment

This one is about power. Real power.Written from prison, I distill decades of organising experience into a blunt question: why do movements keep losing—and how do we start winning? It’s a radical guide to building political power that draws on global struggles from California farm workers to Chilean popular movements to show why traditional parties fail—and why saving democracy may require abandoning them altogether.

These books were produced by volunteers. No corporations. No PR teams. Every copy shared helps spread ideas meant to be used, argued over, and turned into action.

Both books make excellent gifts:– for the relative who’s “political but confused”– for the activist who feels burnt out and stuck– for anyone who knows something is deeply wrong, but hasn’t found language or courage for it yet

Or, honestly, buy them for yourself — as a way to stay grounded and engaged when it feels like possibilities are narrowing.

These books won’t save the world. But they might help you stop lying to yourself about how it actually changes.
