Read and Resist: The Gaslit Nation Book Club

After Trump's return to power in January 2025, Gaslit Nation launched a book club not just to inform, but to fortify. Each selection is a lifeline offering strategy, moral clarity, and community in an age of disinformation and despair.

This isn't just a book club. It's a survival toolkit for our time.

Read with us. Build with us. Let's overcome the chaos together.

Join us on the last Monday of every month at 4 PM ET at the Gaslit Nation Salon for a live discussion of that month's book or film. Recordings are available on Patreon, along with bonus shows, ad-free episodes, and more, at Patreon.com/Gaslit. Discounted annual and gift memberships available.
