Author Roxane Gay bought a gun in 2020 and took it to the range. She expected the place to be “full of White bros”; instead she saw a lot of Black people, predominantly Black women.

We report what’s happening, name who’s responsible, and refuse to pretend “both sides” framing applies when one side is stripping people of their rights. Our coverage is direct and morally engaged. We don’t perform neutrality on questions like whether people deserve due process or whether children belong in cages. Fascism is not a policy disagreement.
