Everyone says that this new crop of American Nazis is really mean, but I, a white journalist, went out to talk to them for this profile, and they were actually really nice. I mean, sure, when I first met George Nathan Bedford Forrest Wallace on his compound, I was a little thrown off by his swastika hat, Confederate-flag T-shirt, and his pants, which had a crossed-out trans flag on each leg.

I was a little nervous when I saw that they were knitting a very large blanket that read GO BACK TO AFRICA, but they also served me a scrumptious lemon cake with raspberry filling. They even gave me the recipe.

The year 2018 was — just like most years — a year of both joy and sorrow. For me, however, the year will always be primarily associated with being the year my dearest friend of over thirty years — Bengt Nilsson — passed away. No words can truly describe what one feels when a person […]
