I agree with this critique although I will add that my critique (additionally) is that these stories do not discuss STATE VIOLENCE, like, you know, the goons kidnapping folks on the street and leaving children in the car.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
