WA Teen Safecracker Convicted in School Shooting Plot
People keep calling this a “foiled plot,” which makes it sound abstract and distant, like something out of a movie script that never made it to production. What actually happened in Kennewick, Washington, was much simpler and much closer to disaster.

ProPublica Names Alleged Killers of Alex Pretti
On February 1, 2026, ProPublica did what the federal government refused to do: it told the public who actually pulled the triggers in Minneapolis. The masked immigration agents who 'allegedly' shot and killed Alex Pretti were Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. If you think publishing the names of armed government agents who fired roughly ten rounds into a man lying on the ground is 'doxxing,' you can bite my perineum.

Freelance income is volatile, and a recent drastic change means my work no longer pays a living wage on its own.

Patreon support directly bridges that gap and keeps this reporting sustainable.
