Welcome to American Doom
American Doom was founded in 2023 by independent journalist Justin Glawe. Here’s you’ll find the aggressive, adversarial, fact-based journalism required to maintain a healthy democracy.
Our recent investigations have exposed hundreds of election deniers serving as election officials across the country, coordination between election officials in Georgia and the Justice Department on election interference efforts, and ICE’s failure to report on deaths of immigrants in the agency’s custody.
You can find more of Glawe’s work at The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Zeteo, The Bulwark and Public Notice. Over the last decade, Glawe has covered American unrest and upheaval for scores of publications, including The New York Times, the Washington Post, Esquire, The New Republic, VICE, the Daily Beast and more.
His first book will be published by the University of Georgia Press in June 2026. If I am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened: The Life and Times of a Domestic War Correspondent details Glawe’s journey into American violence and chaos while descending into a dark battle of his own—and the path to recovery for both the nation and himself.
Ask your local bookstore to order Glawe’s book, or pre-order it at the links below. You can read an excerpt from Something Terrible here at American Doom.
