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.

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.

You wouldn’t think the world’s biggest sex trafficking scandal would have much to do with climate but the word shows up in more than 1500 of the #epsteinfiles.At first we thought meh, we don’t want to exploit a scandal, then we started reading and realized the Epstein universe’s take on climate intersects with a LOT of the stuff we’re investigating all the time. So we’re slowly making our way through. Take this 2014 email recommending a climate denier’s screed in the Wall Street Journal. Seems like a nothing burger at first… but it’s written by massive geoengineering proponent (and Gates Foundation consultant) Lowell Wood, and seconded by Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer at a time when Microsoft was talking a lot about climate while quietly getting into business with oil companies and developing AI that would help both produce and consume more energy.

When the march forwards full blown fascism seems inevitable, just remember that our communities contain multitudes of resources, knowledge, can-do spirit, and compassion and they... are idiots
Today they threatened to arrest all of the neighbors who came out and watched 20 agents struggle to change a flat tire for “impeding a federal investigation.” These are just clowns and they absolutely know it.
