For @motherjones.com I wrote about the stubborn idea that Trump is a force for peace, and how the contradictions of MAGA foreign policy are made clear in the new national security strategy, and the invasion of Venezuela. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A reminder: Keith Ellison is pursuing a case with Hennepin Co Attorney Mary Moriarty. @eamonwhalen.bsky.social profiled her as a candidate back in 2022—along with @boltsmag.org (and @taniel.bsky.social). A moment to reflect back on why that election mattered www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus...

. @eamonwhalen.bsky.social on how America First anti-war posturing quickly shifted to pro-war propaganda www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

And, finally, a piece that took years and I couldn't be more proud to see up, from @eamonwhalen.bsky.social on how a mercenary became an infamous Minneapolis mall who brought war tactics from the Middle East to the Midwest www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This isn't the first time Alpha News has tried to change a narrative about state violence. In this piece, @eamonwhalen.bsky.social mentions how Liz Collin (a reporter there) was part of Candece Owen's movie blaming George Floyd for his own death www.motherjones.com/media/2022/1...

On the second point—please read @eamonwhalen.bsky.social on Royce White www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Nick Fuentes spent half a decade hounding Charlie Kirk for being insufficiently reactionary. As @eamonwhalen.bsky.social points out, the play worked: the Groypers have dragged Turning Point further to the right, without much resistance.

For the @thebaffler.com I wrote about how Nick Fuentes and "The Groyper Wars" changed Charlie Kirk thebaffler.com/latest/ready...

How long can the Republican party’s center hold? @eamonwhalen.bsky.social writes on Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes, and the white nationalists fighting their way in from the fringe.

For @fastcompany.com I wrote about how Nick Fuentes has exposed a fracture in MAGA, how he reflects a new generation raised in a wholly different media and political environment, and how condemnations from the right are far too little, far too late. www.fastcompany.com/91447399/nic...

The third episode of Only If You Get Caught is out today, and it's a very special one. We had the great @reveleth.com on talk through the Lance Armstrong saga and the ways it set the table for the anti-trans sports panic. Subscribe now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

A few years ago, we asked @eamonwhalen.bsky.social to look into an odd story: A mall in Minneapolis hired a group led by a former military contractor in Iraq to crack down on a memorial garden. Today, we’re publishing the wild story that Eamon dug up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I wrote about how an Iraq-war era military contractor ended up as a mall cop cracking down on a protest encampment in Minneapolis the summer after the George Floyd protests. This is the story of Nathan Seabrook and long arc of the war on terror. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In April, I went to Los Angeles to talk to Corbin (formerly known as spooky black) about his new album, and what its like to be one of the most influential but lesser known artists of the last decade, for @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

This month's cover story in The Nation takes a closer look at one of the thought leaders emerging in the "how does the left win over men" conversation & some critics. The author, @eamonwhalen.bsky.social, talked about the process and what he learned here: www.insurgentspod.com/p/ep-359-wha...

🚨first bluesky🚨 I wrote the cover story for the new issue of @thenation.com on how the "proudly boring" British policy wonk @richardreeves.bsky.social became America's manhood guru www.thenation.com/article/soci...
