t r u t h o u t | If you're getting ready to exchange gifts this holiday season, then you probably know how hard it can be to find the right present for the right person. That's even more true if that person is someone who identifies as progressive or radical and who wants to stay well-informed about our world.
Fortunately, Truthout offers a variety of Progressive Picks that make great gifts for everyone - and yourself - no matter where you fall on the progressive spectrum. After all, you can't get much more different than a startling history of drone warfare, a guide to using language and "framing" to win arguments and elections, and a book of short and pointed rants by a highly political, ever-so-slightly foul-mouthed comedian.
You can order any of the latest Progressive Picks by clicking the title and making the minimum donation to Truthout:
Terminator Planet: The First History of Drone Warfare, 2001-2050
By Nick Turse and Tom Engelhardt
https://members.truth-out.org/bgift102-gift/choose-type-donation
From the opening missile salvo in the skies over Afghanistan in 2001 to a secret strike in the Philippines early in 2012, or a future in which drones dogfight off the coast of Africa, "Terminator Planet" takes you to the front lines of combat, Washington war rooms, and beyond. Drawing on several years of research - including official documents, open-source intelligence and interviews with military officers - two of the foremost analysts specializing in drone war offer a sobering, factual account of robot warfare combined with critical analyses found nowhere else.
The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic
By George Lakoff and Elisabeth Wehling
https://members.truth-out.org/bgift103-gift/choose-type-donation
Despite the subtitle, this indispensable book is really an explanation of what progressives need to do to win over more Americans and is not limited to Democratic Party affiliation. Lakoff and Wehling understand, through studies of the human brain, that appealing to voters on the basis of reason has its limitations. Republicans generally understand that the invocation of values and emotions succeed in a way that supercedes rational arguments and wonky policy.
Lee Camp's Moment of Clarity: The Rantings of a Stark Raving Sane Man
By Lee Camp
https://members.truth-out.org/bgift104-gift/choose-type-donation
If you have never seen comedian Lee Camp blast out one of his moments of clarity, go to YouTube and just put in his name. He becomes addictive. In Greg Palast's words: "He has found the hole in America's brain where reason has been replaced by Walmart. Lee's rants channel the gunk oozing out." Cross Lenny Bruce with Lewis Black, toss in a dash of George Carlin, and you get Lee Camp!
All of these Progressive Picks come highly recommended for Truthout readers and your friends and family.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team
