I’ve been somewhat reluctant to discuss the anti-vivisection campaign against Ridglan Farms led by Wayne Hsiung. For those who don’t know, activists engaged in an open rescue on March 15, saving 22 dogs from a beagle-breeding facility in Wisconsin.

At the heart of this project stand deputies who travel with ELNET, a pro-Israel lobby…

The unhoused, and the larger community they aggravate, have only least-worst options. Barth’s well-reported stories stem from three sprawling multiblock or multiacre tent cities, chronicling the types of people who compose them and the communities—troubled communities, but in some ways surprisingly effective ones—that they form. All three are eventually…
