Paperback

"In this impassioned warning and inspirational call to arms, Ressa identifies and illuminates her core values of empathy, honesty, and faith in humanity to illustrate how a strong commitment to such foundational beliefs can provide the key to democracy's survival. . . . Searing and electrifying." -- Booklist (starred review)

From the recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize comes a powerful memoir that chronicles her career fighting fascism, filled with insights and advice for standing against authoritarian bullies and confronting disinformation and lies. It includes an introduction by Amal Clooney.

Maria Ressa is one of the most renowned international journalists of our time. For decades, she challenged corruption and malfeasance in her native country, the Philippines, on its rocky path from an authoritarian state to a democracy. As a reporter from CNN, she transformed news coverage in her region, which led her in 2012 to create a new and innovative online news organization, Rappler. Harnessing the emerging power of social media, Rappler crowdsourced breaking news, found pivotal sources and tips, harnessed collective action for climate change, and helped increase voter knowledge and participation in elections.

But by their fifth year of existence, Rappler had gone from being lauded for its ideas to being targeted by the new Philippine government, and made Ressa an enemy of her country's most powerful man: President Duterte. Still, she did not let up, tracking government seeded disinformation networks which spread lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate. Hounded by the state and its allies using the legal system to silence her, accused of numerous crimes, and charged with cyberlibel for which she was found guilty, Ressa faces years in prison and thousands in fines.

There is another adversary Ressa is battling. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is also the story of how the creep toward authoritarianism, in the Phillipines and around the world, has been aided and abetted by the social media companies. Ressa exposes how they have allowed their platforms to spread a virus of lies that infect each of us, pitting us against one another, igniting, even creating, our fears, anger, and hate, and how this has accelerated the rise of authoritarians and dictators around the world. She maps a network of disinformation--a heinous web of cause and effect--that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars to America's Capitol Hill; Britain's Brexit to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare; Facebook and Silicon Valley to our own clicks and votes.

Democracy is fragile. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is an urgent cry for Western readers to recognize and understand the dangers to our freedoms before it is too late. It is a book for anyone who might take democracy for granted, written by someone who never would. And in telling her dramatic and turbulent and courageous story, Ressa forces readers to ask themselves the same question she and her colleagues ask every day: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?

Great, except for the edible one
Flavor Name: Chicken & Original, Size: X-Small
My elderly dog and my puppy both love these bones. They are 9lbs and 4.5lbs respectively and this is a good size for them. They also like the next size up and it is manageable for them as well. The only gripe I have is the edible one, it comes apart in larger chunks (that are still very hard) and my dogs swallowed a few before I noticed how large the pieces were. I decided to throw that one away. Its been over a week and no negative side effects so maybe just me being overly cautious. For the price (gold box) just the other two bones were worth it. They last pretty much forever for my dogs, and I would say they are moderate chewers. 4 stars due to the issue with the edible bone.

My little dog loves these.
Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small, Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small
These are the perfect size, texture, and density for my 9 lb chihuahua (rescued, of course! :)) He has a tiny mouth with tiny teeth and very little bite force so he needs a chewybone with a lot of give. I've been impressed with how clean these help keep his teeth (it's the saliva flow during the chewing that breaks down any lingering debris and the action of the nubs against the teeth and gums helps to rub off tartar and plaque, if you care to know the *why* behind it.) These are ideal for dogs like mine, and since small dogs tend to have a lot of dental problems due to overcrowded mouths, I couldn't be more grateful that these exist. These would probably also be good for the many rescued puppy mill dogs, who are often small breeds, who have dental issues due to malnutrition and exacerbated by overbreeding, especially in females whose bodies often rob the jaw bones of calcium for the sake of the fetuses they carry, when the pregnant dogs aren't given an appropriately enriched gestational diet. That leads to the little bleppy tongues sticking out all over that we often see in the canine survivors of back yard breeding operations, puppy mills, and the like. There are a lot of these dogs being rescued and adopted in the U.S. right now and these would likely be ideal for them. (In case any adopters of these little survivors are reading this. :)) These are for gentle chewers only, and there are a lot of dogs who fall into that category. They aren't , however, for dogs with an average bite or higher, which is where some of the complaints you hear about these are coming from. Know your dog's chewing needs and buy the size that fits their mouth, tooth type, and bite strength. My dog barely puts a dent in these after a year or more of chewing (watch for any degradation of the plastic and replace as needed, of course.) For little dogs like mine, these are just fantastic and I hope Nylabone keeps making these type of chew toys to keep our dogs healthy. :)

My Dog's Favorite Nylabone
Flavor Name: Bacon & Beef, Size: X-Small
I've been testing out Nylabones the last couple months for my chihuahua puppy. He's a heavy chewer and too easily tears apart many of them, then others are too hard and I take them away because I fear for his teeth. This set is his favorite so far. He doesn't care about the peanut butter ones, loves the beef one, and is absolutely obsessed with the bacon one. He walks around with it in his mouth whenever he goes anywhere. Unfortunately, my senior chihuahua also loves the bacon one and there is now an ongoing feud over it, so guess I'm buying another pack. I like that these are just a little chewy without being too soft, but I still recommend keeping an eye on them as even my puppy has managed to start to get little pieces off. But it's more as frayed strings than chunk like I've had happen with some of the softer ones.
