Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

FBI Investigating Perished “Anti-Natalist” Suspect in Palms Springs Fertility Clinic Bombing

HeadlineMay 19, 2025

In California, FBI officials have identified the suspect in the bombing of a Palm Springs fertility clinic Saturday as 25-year-old local resident Guy Edward Bartkus.

Akil Davis: “The subject had nihilistic ideations, and this was a targeted attack against the IVF facility. Make no mistake: We are treating this, as I said yesterday, as an intentional act of terrorism.”

Investigators believe the suspect — who may have belonged to a fringe online community that promotes anti-“natalism”, or the creation of new life — died in the attack. Four others were injured.
