Byman's article in The Atlantic entitled "Left Wing Terrorism is on the Rise" defined terrorism as "attacks or plots by a nonstate actor attempting to achieve a political end and exert a psychological influence on a broad population".[10] With Riley McCabe, Byman analyzed 750 attacks and plots in the United States from 1994 through 2025, finding that 2025 was the first year in which far-left attacks outnumbered far-right attacks.[10][11][12]
