Resistance Cities Under Siege: Targeting Suggests “Feature, Not Bug” Fascism
What do Portland, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago, and Memphis have in common? Not just good food, iconic skylines, or an endless supply of artists who never get paid on time. No, their shared distinction is more sinister: each is a bullseye on the Trump administration’s dartboard of dissent. If you’ve noticed that raids, patrols,

Russ Vought, Shutdown Maestro: How the Ideologue Became Executioner
If ever a man wore his ambition like armor, it is Russell “Russ” Vought. In the span of a government shutdown’s heartbeat, the OMB director transformed from policy wonk to de facto czar of executive re-engineering. The BBC’s profile of him on October 3, 2025, paints Vought not just as the architect behind Project 2025,

The Shutdown Kings: This Was The GOP’s Project 2025 Plan All Along
It is a curious thing to watch a political party hold every lever of government power—White House, Senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court—then turn to the public with the wide eyes of a hostage negotiator and insist that it is someone else’s fault they cannot govern. It is like inheriting the keys to the

When “Equal Protection” Means Protecting Only Some: Race, Law, and the Constitution’s Costume Changes
The Headline They Won’t Print “Colleges Can’t Consider Race in Admissions, But ICE Can When They Stop You on the Street” That is the American paradox in its purest form. The same Supreme Court majority that clutched pearls over Harvard and UNC using race as one factor in evaluating applicants has no issue with Border

Project 2025 Becomes Government Shutdown Gospel
It took exactly two days. Forty-eight hours into a shutdown that had already darkened laboratories, silenced grant pipelines, and furloughed three-quarters of a million civil servants, the White House finally dropped its pretense. What was once billed as a think-tank fantasy, a right-wing wish list too radical for the campaign trail, was suddenly elevated to

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

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. His declaration is simple and seismic: being “pro-life” cannot exempt cruelty toward immigrants. To sanction inhumane migration policy, he says, is to undercut life itself.

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
