The Ceasefire That Fired Back: We’re Totally Surprised….it lasted this long
There are moments in history when language becomes so thoroughly mangled that it folds in on itself. This week, that word is ceasefire. Once a term for stopping violence, it now means “repositioning artillery for improved optics.” The latest headlines read like a tragic parody: Israel launched new strikes across Gaza after Prime Minister Benjamin

The Gospel According to Hypocritical Christians: How Trump and MAGA Baptized Greed and Called It Policy
There is a curious arithmetic in American Christianity, a kind of divine math that turns compassion into socialism, wealth into righteousness, and selective literacy into law. It goes something like this: when it comes to who sleeps with whom, suddenly the Bible is binding federal code, the Supreme Court is a Sunday school, and the

America Wants This, Fox Sells That: The Real Majority vs the Minority Megaphone
Most voters back abortion rights, gun safety, paid leave, cheaper insulin, the Child Tax Credit, DACA, clean energy, and voting rights, yet a right-wing media machine keeps drowning them out on purpose. The Party With the Policies, the Party Without the Mic I keep a small superstition on my desk, a notebook where I write

What If Jesus Voted? Immigration, Healthcare, and Feeding the Hungry Would Win
He said welcome the stranger, heal the sick, and give to the poor, which sounds a lot like policy priorities and not a Sunday slogan. I did not grow up with a theology degree. I grew up with casseroles at funerals, a choir that sang off key with conviction, and a rotating cast of adults

Sudden Silence From Hunter Biden Outrage: How the Trumps Turned Public Office into Private Equity
America loves a good family business story—until it involves the government, a few billion in Gulf money, and a golf tournament sponsored by a monarchy. For years, the public has been treated to breathless coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop, that Rosetta Stone of speculation and projection. But while every congressional hearing and cable chyron has

Eat the Rich, Not the Ramen: America’s Favorite Pastime of Blaming Hungry People on SNAP for Being Poor
America has a long, proud tradition of punching down. We could have been the country that invented bullet trains or universal childcare, but instead we perfected the art of yelling “Get a job!” at someone carrying a bag of store-brand cereal and a SNAP card. Forty-two million people are on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,

The Basket Was Too Small: America’s Deplorable MAGA Problem Is a Feature, Not a Bug
There was a time when Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark was treated as a political scandal, a supposed gaffe that confirmed her elitism. The pundits clutched pearls, the right performed outrage, and the press dissected it like a frog in biology class. But looking back, she wasn’t wrong; she was being polite. If anything,

The Dronefather: How Trump Turned the Sky into a Family Business
It starts, as all American dystopias do, with a slogan and a waiver. On June 6, President Trump signed two executive orders declaring it was time to “unleash American drone dominance” and “restore airspace sovereignty.” Which sounds patriotic enough—until you realize it’s the bureaucratic equivalent of saying, “We’re going to fill the sky with surveillance

The Great Denaturalization Reboot: When Patriotism Became a Costume Party For MAGA
It’s happening again. The right has discovered a thrilling new hobby: pretending the Fourteenth Amendment is optional. Apparently, “We the People” now comes with a disclaimer—“unless you’re Muslim, queer, left of Ronald Reagan, or pronounce your name with too many vowels.” Across talk radio, committee hearings, and influencer podcasts with the production value of a

Happy One Year Anniversary: Love in a Car, Love from Afar
Happy one-year anniversary to the man who changed everything. A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined how deeply two souls could fit together until I met you. From those first late-night talks that stretched until sunrise, to our road trips through deserts and coastlines, to the quiet mornings where life feels simple and right—you’ve shown
