They are called the DREAMers: young people who were brought or sent to the United States as children and who have lived for years in America without legal status. Growing up, they often worked hard in school, planned for college, only to learn they were, in the eyes of the United States government and many citizens, "illegal aliens". Determined to take fate into their own hands, a group of these young undocumented immigrants risked their safety to "come out" about their status - sparking a transformative movement, engineering a seismic shift in public opinion on immigration, and inspiring other social movements across the country. Their quest for permanent legal protection under the so-called "Dream Act" stalled. But in 2012 the Obama administration issued a landmark new immigration policy: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which has since protected more than half a million young immigrants from deportation even as efforts to install more expansive protections remain elusive. The Making of a Dream begins at the turn of the millennium, with the first of a series of "Dream Act" proposals; follows the efforts of policy makers, activists, and undocumented immigrants themselves; and concludes with the 2016 presidential election and the first months of the Trump presidency. The immigrants' coming of age stories intersect with the watershed political and economic events of the last two decades: 9/11, the recession, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Obama presidency, and the rebirth of the anti-immigrant right. In telling their story, Laura Wides-Muñoz forces us to rethink our definition of what it means to be American. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Now many are on a mission to prove he shouldn't be president. The Trump administration and the press are at war - and as in any war, the first casualty has been truth. Bestselling author Howard Kurtz, host of Fox News's Media Buzz and former Washington Post columnist, offers a stunning exposé of how supposedly objective journalists, alarmed by Trump's success, have moved into the opposing camp. Kurtz's exclusive, in-depth, behind-the-scenes interviews with reporters, anchors, and insiders within the Trump White House reveal the unprecedented hostility between the media and the president they cover. In Media Madness, you'll learn: Never before has there been such an eye-opening, shocking look at what the White House and the media think about each other. It's not pretty. But it also makes for the most important political book of the year. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Two Harvard professors explain the dangerous world we face today. Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them. In How Democracies Die, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt draw insightful lessons from across history - from the rule of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile to the quiet undermining of Turkey's constitutional system by President Recip Erdogan - to shine a light on regime breakdown across the 20th and 21st centuries. Notably they point to the dangers of an authoritarian leader faced with a major crisis. Based on years of research, they present a deep understanding of how and why democracies die; an alarming analysis of how democracy is being subverted today in the US and beyond; and a guide for maintaining and repairing a threatened democracy, for governments, political parties and individuals. History doesn't repeat itself. But we can protect our democracy by learning its lessons before it's too late. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Nicht erlernbar, kein Studium erforderlich, auf allen (Interessens-)Gebieten anzutreffen, Wissen unnötig. Zeichnet sich besonders durch Ahnungslosigkeit aus, spricht ohne Sinn und Verstand unqualifiziertes Zeug, handelt ohne sich der Konsequenzen bewusst zu sein, es geht um mehr Schein als Sein. Trotz Kompetenzmangel sind höchste Positionen erreichbar mit Wollen und So-tun-als-ob, eben durch perfekte Inszenierung des eigenen Selbst. Dilettanten bekleiden höchste Ämter und Würden, stehen über "normal" arbeitenden Personen, erhalten beachtliche Einkommen und scheuen sich nicht, das gesellschaftliche Niveau um jeden Preis abzusenken, koste es, was es wolle. Das dabei hart erkämpfte und errungene Werte und Kulturgüter sang- und klanglos aufgegeben werden, wird (bisher) ohne Aufschrei hingenommen. Sich nicht länger verschaukeln und für dumm verkaufen zu lassen, weder von Anlageberatern, Politikern, Medien, ist das Plädoyer von Thomas Rietzschel. "Denn es gibt noch etwas außer dem eigenen Vorteil, etwas, das es um seiner selbst willen zu bewahren gilt." Der Autor veranschaulicht in acht Kapiteln aktuellere Ereignisse, nennt Ross und Reiter, um Entstehung, Verbreitungsgrad, Mechanismen in Industrie, Wirtschaft und Politik darzulegen. Auswirkungen auf Bildung und Wissen, die Rolle der Medien sowie gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen mit Beispielen werden ungeschönt, auf hohem Niveau beschrieben. Ein erbaulicher Beitrag, der hoffen lässt, einer weiteren Volksverdummung entgegen wirken zu können. Ein kurzweiliges Wirtschaftsbuch zum Hören, das aufklärend und genauso spannend ist wie ein Krimi. ©2012 Paul Zsolnay Verlag, Wien (P)2012 Verlag GESAFA Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

Our nation, our government, our economy, our constitution, our lives, and our future is in great jeopardy and on the verge of collapse and destruction. Past generations have failed to stop the infiltration in our new nation, and their slow and planned alteration of what was originally our inalienable rights have now been replaced with denials, censorship, banning, editing, infringement, and outright removal. Our nation has never had an opportunity to actually find out if a constitutional government works. As one born a citizen, it is my right and my duty to stand up against the corruption that has crept in and taken over every aspect of our lives, and to speak out in opposition to the false and corrupting principles and propose new government to ensure our liberty, protection, and prosperity to ourselves and our posterity based upon true principles that preserve constitutional and human rights to all, not just the 1%. This then becomes a new world order, but not the new world order of our enemy, whose plans and actions are leading us to our enslavement and our destruction. The depopulation agenda is evil. We have more than enough room for many multi-billions of people and the ability to produce the basic necessities required to care for all of us. There is no need to kill off and control the population for the intended purpose for the 1% to acquire more and more money. So, I hope I can generate support for this concept, and I hope I plug up all the weaknesses that currently threaten us. And I hope I am not too late in my presentation for a better world order based upon true constitutional principles that ensures rights to all of mankind. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

"From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, authoritarian leaders have smashed restraints on their power. Media freedom and judicial independence have eroded. The right to vote remains, but the right to have one's vote counted fairly may not. Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decline of democracy seemed a concern for other peoples in other lands.... That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump. The crisis is upon Americans, here and now." Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably. As he and his family enrich themselves, the presidency itself falls into the hands of the generals and financiers who surround him. While much of the country has been focused on Russia, David Frum has been collecting the lies, obfuscations, and flagrant disregard for the traditional limits placed on the office of the presidency. In Trumpocracy, he documents how Trump and his administration are steadily damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy. During his own White House tenure as George W. Bush's speechwriter, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency is limited not by law but by tradition, propriety, and public outcry, all now weakened. Whether the Trump presidency lasts two, four, or eight more years, he has changed the nature of the office for the worse, and likely for decades. In this powerful and eye-opening book, Frum makes clear that the hard work of recovery starts at home. Trumpocracy outlines how Trump could push America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our nation and our everyday lives, and what we can do to prevent it.

No working journalist knows Donald Trump better than David Cay Johnston, who first met the 45th president in 1988 and has tracked him ever since. Johnston chronicled much of Trump's conduct in two books: Temples of Chance and the best-selling The Making of Donald Trump. He was also an uncredited source of documents and insight for major campaign reports by The Washington Post, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and network television. When Trump announced his campaign in June 2015, Johnston was the first national journalist to write about a potential Trump presidency. Now Johnston examines the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, including a close look at what the mainstream press stopped covering years ago: the workings of the federal government agencies and how that touches the lives of all Americans, from our wallets to our health care to our safety. He also provides unique insight about how our lives are affected by many actions that the new administration quietly approves without drawing the attention of the Washington press corps. Featuring Johnston's renowned skill in bringing government policy to life, this crucial book clearly explains how our daily lives will be affected by the actions of the Trump Administration. This book is essential listening for all Americans. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O'Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work - equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky - has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets. In American Pravda, the listener is invited to go undercover with these intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask dishonest officials, and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure story on one level, this audiobook also serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed. This audiobook not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media; it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. O'Keefe's enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O'Keefe every one of these attacks is a sign of success. American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding O'Keefe's activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you hear in the so-called mainstream press.

Campbell, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Sister Aisha Al-Adawiya, Judith LeBlanc Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Summary: With essays by: Rowan Blanchard - Senator Tammy Duckworth - America Ferrera - Roxane Gay - Ilana Glazer - Ashley Judd - Valarie Kaur - Cindi Leive - David Remnick - Jill Soloway - Yara Shahidi - Jia Tolentino - Congresswoman Maxine Waters - Elaine Welteroth - Jose Antonio Vargas - and more In celebration of the one-year anniversary of Women's March, this audiobook offers an unprecedented, front-row seat to one of the most galvanizing movements in American history, with exclusive interviews with Women's March organizers and essays by feminist activists. On January 21, 2017, the day after Donald J. Trump's inauguration, more than three million marchers of all ages and walks of life took to the streets as part of the largest protest in American history. In red states and blue states, in small towns and major urban centers, from Boise to Boston, Bangkok to Buenos Aires, people from 82 countries - on all seven continents - rose up in solidarity to voice a common message: Hear our voice. It became the largest global protest in modern history. Compiled by Women's March organizers, in partnership with Condé Nast and Glamour magazine Editor in Chief Cindi Leive, Together We Rise - published for the one-year anniversary of the event - is the complete chronicle of this remarkable uprising. For the first time, Women's March organizers - including Bob Bland, Cassady Fendlay, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Janaye Ingram, Tamika Mallory, Paola Mendoza, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour - tell their personal stories and reflect on their collective journey in an oral history written by Jamia Wilson, writer, activist and director of The Feminist Press. They provide an inside look at how the idea for the event originated, how it was organized, how it became a global movement that surpassed their wildest expectations, and how they are sustaining and building on the widespread outrage, passion, and determination that sparked it. Together We Rise interweaves their stories with "Voices from the March" - recollections from real women who were there, across the world, and 22 short, thought-provoking essays by esteemed writers, celebrities and artists. An inspirational call to action that reminds us that together, ordinary people can make a difference, Together We Rise is an unprecedented look at a day that made history - and the beginning of a resistance movement to reclaim our future. Women's March will share its proceeds from Together We Rise with three grassroots, women-led organizations: The Gathering for Justice, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, and Indigenous Women Rise. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. The full list of narrators includes Robin Miles, January LaVoy, Therese Plummer, James Fouhey, Ashley Judd, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Aisha Al-Adawiya, Melanie L. Campbell, and Judith LeBlanc.

To survive the next four years, we the people need to know whose hands are on the levers of power. And we need to know how to challenge their abuses. John Nichols, veteran political correspondent at the Nation, has been covering many of these deplorables for decades. Sticking to the hard facts and unafraid to dig deep into the histories and ideologies of the people who make up Trump's inner circle, Nichols delivers a clear-eyed and complete guide to this wrecking-crew administration.

James Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Summary: In an era of high technology and instant communication, the role of geography in the formation of strategy and politics in international relations can be undervalued. But the mountains of Afghanistan and the scorching sand storms of Iraq have provided stark reminders that geographical realities continue to have a profound impact on the success of military campaigns. Here, political scientist Jakub J. Grygiel brings to light the importance of incorporating geography into grand strategy. He argues that states can increase and maintain their position of power by pursuing a geostrategy that focuses on control of resources and lines of communication. Grygiel examines case studies of Venice, the Ottoman Empire, and China in the global 15th century - all great powers that faced a dramatic change in geopolitics when new routes and continents were discovered. The location of resources, the layout of trade networks, and the stability of state boundaries played a large role in the success or failure of these three powers. Grygiel asserts that, though many other aspects of foreign policy have changed throughout history, strategic response to geographical features remains one of the most salient factors in establishing and maintaining power in the international arena.

Donald Trump's presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we'd be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang--in a revolution or military coup--but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die-and how ours can be saved.

Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titre: Créer un mouvement communautaire mondial à partir d'un hashtag (Vlan 28) Auteur: Grégory Pouy Narrateur: Grégory Pouy, Youmna ChamCham Format: Unabridged Durée: 21 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 01-15-18 Éditeur: Vlan Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Résumé: Youmna ChamCham est la co-fondatrice de "Live Love", un mouvement communautaire qui s'est établi dans 25 villes et qui a entrainé des milliers voire des millions de personnes à partir d'un simple hashtag. Je suis ravi de débuter l'année sur une touche positive et dans ce en quoi je crois le plus profondément, c'est à dire l'engagement social. Youmna a définitivement un profil atypique puisque du Liban, où elle a passé presque toute son enfance dans une émission TV, elle est arrivée à Los Angeles faire ses études et de là décider de redorer le blason de son pays en lançant le hashtag #livelovebeirut. L'idée pour elle était de se dire qu'il fallait être fier de son pays mais aussi que c'était essentiel de montrer d'autres aspects beaucoup plus positifs de ce que pouvait être le Liban. Au Liban comme dans de nombreux pays, à force d'avoir des mauvaises nouvelles, à force d'être dans un pays en guerre, il n'y avait beaucoup moins d'espoir, ce hashtag est arrivé comme une bouffée d'air frais pour la jeunesse locale. Quelques années plus tard, cela a permis de développer de manière significative le tourisme dans le pays, à redonner de la fierté à la jeunesse, mais c'est également devenu la campagne nationale. Et puis, ils ont créé un partenariat avec l'ONU, et surtout ils ont été le moteur de beaucoup d'actions pour le bien de la planète. Alors comment à partir d'un simple hashtag lancé par une étudiante depuis L.A., peut-on réussir à créer un mouvement communautaire mondial ? Il ne faut pas débuter avec un business plan mais avec ses tripes. Le premier conseil de Youmna est de ne surtout pas commencer avec un "business plan" mais bien d'écouter ses tripes et voir ce qui a envie de sortir et de s'exprimer. Chez elle, c'était l'amour de son pays, la volonté de créer un bulle d'air à travers une image de vie qui reflète la jeunesse, l'espoir et de trouver des solutions avec la société civile. Les "millenials" ont cette volonté de trouver des solutions et cette génération ne compte plus vraiment sur l'état pour le faire mais plutôt sur elle-même pour faire avancer les choses. Revenir dans la vraie vie est également essentiel. Ainsi, associé au hashtag, ils ont rapidement créé un bracelet. Ils ont évidemment commencé à publier des photos en le mettant en scène mais ils ont également distribué le bracelet aux gens cool de Beyrouth. Ils ont très rapidement été propulsé dans les festivals, dans les fêtes et tout le monde voulaient posséder le bracelet. La conséquence a été de propulser le hashtag jusqu'à générer 1 million de "likes" en l'espace de 6 mois. Passer du "story-telling" au "story-doing".
