More autobiographical and inspiring than actually any practical advice other than political organization (which, now that I think about it, what else could I have expected?). Not what I was expecting going in but inspirational nevertheless.

Wow what a wild ride of an amazing journalist who always tried to uphold the truth, even when fascism was on the horizon. It was hard reading her struggle but it gave me so much meaning and strength. Also, screw Facebook and its engine of propaganda and disinformation!

Mainly a memoir of Maria Ressa and the history of Rappler in the Philippines, and how they struggled to survive under President Duterte's violent, autocratic rule. There are many disturbing parallels to Trump and his retribution plans for his second term.
