well that evolved into <strong>Dirtbag</strong> an essay collection that was supposed to be released last year and currently has a release date of Christmas 2023. meaning in 595 days we can finally read this compendium of knowledge
> Dirtbag is a much-anticipated debut from one of the greatest emerging writers in modern socialism. This memoir is more than Frost’s story; it is also the story of the only movement that has a chance to reshape our world. Both are chock-full of momentary triumphs, stupid decisions, new international friendships and rivalries, struggle, joy, setbacks, and heartbreak.

She kissed a man in the rain at a train stop after he sang her “The Internationale,” and gave herself hangovers that left her begging for death. But all of the late nights, heated debates, and joyous camaraderie was set against the unmistakable sense that somehow, socialism was winning.

The reading series gets dark this week with Chapo daemon David French's personal essay about getting harassed by Anime Nazis, but things get fun again since it's David French.
We also have a chat with writer Alexander Zaitchik about his dispatch from Trumpland, the subject of his new book, "Gilded Rage." From racist yahoos to bitter veterans, we talk about the different worldviews of Trump voters and how many of them could possibly be brought out of the wilderness and into a social democratic tent in the coming years.
