Hollywood Reboots Its Own Resistance: Jane Fonda’s Anti Fascism Committee for the First Amendment Returns
The ghosts of the blacklist just got company. On October 1, 2025, Jane Fonda—the 87-year-old icon, activist, and daughter of Henry Fonda—took the stage again not to accept awards, but to launch a new front in a culture war over dissent. She resurrected the Committee for the First Amendment, originally conceived in 1947 to fight

The Reboot Nobody Ordered: Make America Sick Again
It is 2025, and America has managed to drag an old virus out of retirement like a boy band on a nostalgia tour. Not the fun kind of reboot—no slick streaming revival, no “Measles: The Musical.” This is a disease revival, unwanted, unnecessary, and entirely predictable. The CDC’s latest report confirms 1,544 measles cases so

Shut It Down (to “Save” ACA): Democrats’ Gambit or Political Pyrrhic Victory?
When the federal lights went dark at 12:01 a.m., they went dark not from incompetence but by design. On Day One of the shutdown, Democrats—led by Schumer and Jeffries—did something rare: they leaned into it. They embraced disruption as leverage.

If MAGA thinks the New Pope is Woke, Wait Till They Read About Jesus
Picture this: the White House is stressed, Chicago is festering under federal patrols, Republicans are fighting over funding bills, and in strolls Pope Leo XIV—America’s first pontiff—to disrupt the script.

Fascism Shutdown Theater 2025: America’s 12:01 Curtain Call
The clock struck midnight, and instead of turning into a pumpkin, the U.S. government simply turned off. It wasn’t glamorous—no fireworks, no champagne, just a cold 12:01 a.m. ET at which point 750,000 federal workers were told to “take an unpaid vacation” and the rest of us were instructed to marvel at how “fiscal discipline”

Summoning the Generals: A Military Summit or a Coup Dress Rehearsal?
On September 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, something happened that will never feel routine. President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presided over a convocation of roughly 700–800 of America’s highest military officers—generals, admirals, senior enlisted advisers—flown from around the globe on short notice. Why? To hear a plan: use U.S. cities

The Alexa+ Trap: When Home Tech Becomes Soft Control
At precisely 10 a.m. ET, Panos Panay strode onto the Amazon stage and began the familiar dance: new gadgets, bolder claims, bigger vision. But this time the reveal looked less like a tech refresh and more like a domestic overlay. This wasn’t just about speakers and TVs. It was about claiming more of your life—how

From Hypertext Dreams to Data Nightmares: Tim Berners-Lee’s Reminder That We Broke His Toy
The man who sketched the web on paper napkins at CERN now has to watch it shuffle around in stained sweatpants, working shifts for monopolies that surveil your cousin’s cat pictures and weaponize your grandmother’s political rants. Tim Berners-Lee, knighted not just for giving us hyperlinks but for unleashing the entire World Wide Web on

Bad Bunny’s Big Bounce to the Super Bowl Stage: The Latin Tsunami America Pretended to See Coming
Late one Sunday night, when millions were stretching out their wings and yelling at referees, the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation dropped a bomb: Bad Bunny—Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, the Puerto Rican icon will take the solo spotlight on February 8,
