In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.   \r\n\r\nSarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.”   \r\n\r\nCareless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade―told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e   \r\n\r\nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \r\nSarah Wynn-Williams worked as a diplomat for New Zealand, including in Washington, DC.

It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants--and to find the hidden key to her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLooking beyond the flashpoints of the border or the activism of the DREAMers, Cornejo Villavicencio explores the lives of the undocumented--and the mysteries of her own life. She finds the singular, effervescent characters across the nation often reduced in the media to political pawns or nameless laborers. The stories she tells are not deferential or naively inspirational but show the love, magic, heartbreak, insanity, and vulgarity that infuse the day-to-day lives of her subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn New York, we meet the undocumented workers who were recruited into the federally funded Ground Zero cleanup after 9\/11.

In Flint, Michigan, we learn of demands for state ID in order to receive life-saving clean water. In Connecticut, Cornejo Villavicencio, childless by choice, finds family in two teenage girls whose father is in sanctuary. And through it all we see the author grappling with the biggest questions of love, duty, family, and survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her incandescent, relentlessly probing voice, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio combines sensitive reporting and powerful personal narratives to bring to light remarkable stories of resilience, madness, and death.

That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human--not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege.

In the churches where he worshipped, pastors siphoned their flocks' wealth while preaching a doctrine of prosperity. Meanwhile, as economic struggles grew in the community, Hesse's fellow believers lambasted organized labor and shunned the social safety net, becoming an army for God against the evils of progressivism.

At the center is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy--and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once built.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 7.4 x 4.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53335060447597,"sku":"9781967190102","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/9iTx7l9bbC9781967190102.webp?v=1778889888"},{"product_id":"how-to-test-negative-for-stupid-and-why-washington-never-will-paperback","title":"How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJohn Kennedy\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of the most distinctive and funny politicians, Senator John Kennedy (the one from Louisiana)--hailed by \u003cem\u003ePolitico\u003c\/em\u003e as \"America's most quotable Senator\"--offers his perceptive (and hilarious) takes on the ridiculousness of political life in this scathingly witty takedown of Washington and its elite denizens.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Test Negative for Stupid\u003c\/em\u003e offers the Senator's tongue-in-cheek guidebook through Washington, punctuated by his thoughts on various issues and humorous stories about life from Louisiana politics and inside the Senate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the mind--and mouth--of \"America's Most Quotable Senator\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Always be yourself . . . unless you suck.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I say this gently: This is why the aliens won't talk to us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If you trust government, you obviously failed history class.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I'm not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., won't clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I have the right to remain silent but not the ability.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know.

Yes, much of the work that once supported the middle class had gone away, but that didn't begin to cover the forces turning Urbana into a poorer and angrier place. Absenteeism soared in the schools and in the workplace as a mental health crisis gripped the small city. Some of her old friends now embraced conspiracies.

He soon expelled Uganda's Indian minority in hopes of fostering a nation for Black Ugandans. The plan backfired. Amin was followed by Yoweri Museveni, who has now ruled for nearly four decades.

The Asian expulsion made Amin a monster in the eyes of the West. In contrast, Museveni was hailed as standard bearer of the \"war on terror\" in Africa and was protected from accountability for far greater crimes. In exchange for adopting the package of neoliberal reforms known as the Washington Consensus, he became Africa's poster child. Amin, who aimed to create a nation of Black millionaires, never became one himself.
