Sarah Kendzior's Hiding in Plain Sight can be depressing, insightful, shocking, and enlightening on the same page. There's a lot going on in what she's written here. Her warnings leading into the beginning of the Trump administration were eerily prescient. Moreso in retrospect.

Her frame of reference makes her uniquely and exceptionally qualified to tell these stories and give lots of context to things that have happened since Trump has taken office, things that helped put him there, and how much of it has been moving steadily in the same direction for quite some time.

It's likely not going to lighten your mood, but this is a really well-written book which should be required reading.
