Somewhere in America right now, a man is craning his neck over a stranger’s shopping cart. He has spotted something obscene. Not a weapon. Not contraband. A box of Trix. The stranger paid with SNAP. The man does the math immediately, the way outrage always does math: badly, and with total confidence. He has decided […]
Ten. That is the count now, in this administration alone, of human beings shot and killed by agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Not accidents. Not natural causes. Shot. Ten. And the tenth barely made the news cycle before it moved on to something else. His name was Lorenzo Salgado […]
She lived a few miles from where I am writing this: Irondequoit, New York. A (reasonably) quiet suburb of Rochester, the kind of place with lawns and school pickup lines and absolutely nothing that looks like a terror cell.

On Laura Loomer and the Cruelty of Fake Concern Three people were murdered at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Shot while going about their lives. Investigators confirmed what was already obvious: hate rhetoric drove the killers through that door. Laura Loomer wanted you to know she is worried about the safety and well being […]
