Disgraceful⤵️ “Can we expect to see some more jihadist students rounded up soon & deported?”...Loomer asking Homan, referring to terrifying incidents of masked ICE agents disappearing college students off the streets... “Just sit back and watch,” he said.
for @MSNBC I wrote about the history of white vigilantism & the growing MAGA hunger to aid ICE terror by becoming informants/snitches, including a look at a shady app that promises to pay you if you help deport your neighbor msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
The Trump administration just admitted they mistakenly deported an immigrant who was here legally to a notorious El Salvador prison and that they won't bring him home, regardless of what a court rules. If that's true, immigration laws are meaningless. Trump and his lackeys can…

Chris is dead on here. Vance mainlines XRW talking points, to the point of normalizing mass murderers like Breivik, Bowers and Crusius

It never fails to amaze me how concepts like the Great Replacement and Cultural Marxism have migrated from the manifestos of mass shooters to Meet the Press and the Oval Office.

For @MSNBC I tried to scream abt how it’s already happening here & how, barring drastic action, we are on the worst trajectory, w/ insights from @andreapitzer on the history of concentration camps msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
~Personal news~ I’ll be leaving Business Insider at the end of the month. Grateful for the team there and everyone who has supported my work these past four years. Excited/terrified to give full-time freelance life a try — hoping to write more, pitch outlets I’ve always admired…

Well that should do it
Scoop @PuckNews: The Gridiron Dinner, the annual off-record, white tie gathering of D.C. media/political elite, did *not* toast the president at its annual dinner tonight for the first time in its 140-year history. Instead, they toasted the First Amendment.
After 9 years at HuffPost, today is my last day. I’ve grown so much & I’m grateful for the journey. This has been a dream job. Now on to new dreams. I’ll still be writing/hosting/moderating, just doing it as a freelancer for now. Pitch + commission me at [email protected].
After being laid off by HuffPost, I’m now looking for freelance and full time reporter positions! I have experience in breaking news, general assignment, disability, lifestyle, culture reporting and more. Please reach out with any NY based opportunities! [email protected]
Briefly back to say: yesterday, I was laid off after 10 years at HuffPost. I’m obviously gutted. But once I take a breath, I’ll be open to jobs & freelance work, both in journalism and outside of it, given the state of our industry. [email protected]; Signal: marinafang.72

I wrote about Jack Posobiec, the intellectual emptiness of the pro-Trump right, and their bizarre—and disingenuous—attempts to co-opt white nationalist thought. My latest for @thebafflermag: thebaffler.com/latest/unhuman…
