How did I overlook Edward Snowden's revelations in light of Chelsea Manning's? Permanent Record is perhaps the most historic account on domestic U.S. surveillance in the Digital Age. Even then, Snowden shares principles that span his life so far as an all-American military kid to an American-in-exile. One of those principles, from his childhood, is the method by which he details several of the NSA's signals intelligence programs.
Disturbing they are (or were?), but I recommend you not search the Web for them until you read Permanent Record in full. As a front-end user, you might benefit from the stream of consciousness of a former back-end admin with top security clearances. Especially if you're not a technologist.

The Free & Equal Elections Foundation hosted the Final Open Presidential Debate 2020 in Cheyenne Wyo. on Oct. 24. Ten presidential candidates were invited, including Donald Trump (Republican), Joe Biden (Democrat), Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian), and Kanye West (Independent).
The other five candidates confirmed. They include Brian Carroll (American Solidarity); Howie Hawkins (Green); Gloria La Riva (Socialism & Liberation); and Brock Pierce (Independence). Don Blankenship (Constitution) confirmed but wasn't present at the time of the debate. I ranked each candidate based on his or her ability to 1) Stay on topic 2) Support arguments with evidence 3) Answer the question at hand and 4) Provide a solution distinguishable from co-debators.

Howie Hawkins accompanied his 2020 presidential campaign with a publication that's not a memoir but, in essence, a white paper. If that doesn't differentiate him from some of his Democratic counterparts, then his political strategy for working-class progressives does.
I like that The Case for an Independent Left Party approaches political parties as an operational structure rather than a political platform. In that regard, neither the Green Party that Hawkins co-founded nor the Democratic Party he critiques serves as the book's focus. I was hungry for more than a few sentences on coalition governance, one of my topics of interest. Nonetheless, The Case for an Independent Left Party offers a class perspective of political organizations for which I had a weak lens.
