One of the best books I've read this year! Can't recommend enough. Cuts a wide swath over a hundred years of American humiliation! Will make you quite mad at times. Has a fact about Abraham Lincoln in it that I won't share here that had me cackling with delight.

Obviously, the pandemic (any pandemic) is not in the rearview mirrors. Today, a woman in prison tells me, "We are on quarantine. Guards have N95 masks, not us. They aren't telling us anything."
