The vocabulary to describe Timothy McVeigh In this guest opinion for the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, Constance Squires looks at what we now call the "alt-right" and how it influenced Timothy McVeigh.

This editorial I wrote for the Oklahoma City Free Press is out now. I appreciate the invitation to try to pull together these swirling thoughts, such as they are. freepressokc.com/the-vocabula...

Happiest of publication days to @rankoutsider.bsky.social. Thrilling and poignant in equal turns, LOW APRIL SUN is a smart, searing take on 1995's Oklahoma City bombing and its aftermath. I'm appearing with Connie several times during March-April. Please come see us in New York, OKC, or Santa Fe.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts
