On Fascism by Mathew MacWilliams. Informative, educational, and necessary. We need to know this information in order to, not just survive, but to heal as well.
And for light reading Little Boy Blue by M. J. Alridge. Detective crime novel with some very interesting female characters.

Any obits and articles I can find on bell hooks.

All the Best Jazz Albums lists I can find.

The Jemima Code audio book. It's an excellent source on the history of food by Black Americans and our impact on American food.

Listening to an LGBTQ+ anthology by 20th century BIPOC writers.

A couple articles on American system of tipping and how it's rooted in the treatment of enslaved people.

"Buffy Ste Marie"

Biography Life of a Canadian Native singer who survived all the things of childhood that would make most of us shrink. Then, rose to stardom.

"Face in the Water"

A true documentary concerning the state of things in Mental Institutions from back not so far to present. This is presented by a woman who got depressed and was institutionalized and she speaks of the treatment with shock therapy and medications that can turn unhappy people into zombies while the medical community calls it cure. Very deep book.

Started two others but today I made a point of finishing my last book "Women's Madness" (mysogyny or mental illness ) concerning women from the time of witches to present day around the world of women being held to blame for all the worlds ills including their own. More than we could ever know about the mistreatment of women throughout history. (I do not like that word as it stands true for all we learn his story).

Water's Edge by Gregg Olsen. Fast easy read. Book 2 in a trilogy.
Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum. Just started this one. I am hopeful that at the end I will understand why people are moving towards a more authoritarianism mind set. It truly baffles me.
