When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

The fact that nobody in the US is facing consequences for Epstein is a reason why Epstein existed. There are two Americas.
