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”

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

Shutdown Showdown: When the Federal Lights Flicker, Standing Ground Might Be the Only Power Move Left
Washington, D.C. — the unfortunate date when “the lights go out” became literal again. After the Senate failed to pass a stopgap spending bill, the White House ordered agencies to activate shutdown protocols at exactly 12:01 a.m. on October 1.

The Funding Threat: Trump’s NYC Mayoral Blackmail
The stage was set when Eric Adams abruptly bowed out of the NYC mayoral race. The city’s Democratic machinery tiptoed toward a new favorite: Zohran Mamdani. Then Trump hit “post” on Truth Social, going full lurid: Mamdani “needs the money from me … to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises” and, crucially, “won’t be

Federal Government Shut Down is Trump’s Trojan Horse
It begins at midnight, not with fireworks or ceremony but with lights flickering off in office after office, cubicle after cubicle, across the federal government. The hum of fluorescent tubes dies. The emails bounce back. The phones ring without answer. The federal government, the largest employer in the United States, goes into induced coma—not because

MAGA is a Domestic Terrorist Idealogy: Fires, Bullets, and Quiet Denials
A Sunday service turned into a nightmare. In Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, a man drove a pickup into a Mormon chapel, sprung open fire with a rifle mid-worship, doused the building with gasoline, and watched as flame and lead collided. The local police rushed in. Within minutes he was dead. The dead and wounded, survivors

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

Truck, Guns & Fire at Church: The Grand Blanc Massacre, the Vet Suspect, and America’s House-of-Worship Nightmare
The morning sun in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, had barely cleared the steeples when violence crashed into the sanctuary. What was meant to be a day of worship became an inferno of terror: a truck barreled into a church foyer, gunfire roared, gasoline ignited flames, and an Iraq-war veteran now lies dead among the debris.

Degrees of Separation: Michelle’s Princeton-Harvard Reality vs. Melania’s Slovenian Fairy Tale
America has always been a nation obsessed with résumés, transcripts, and whether or not you really sat through Econ 101 without crying into a vending machine Pop-Tart. But somehow, in our supposedly merit-based society, the woman who actually clawed her way through Princeton University and Harvard Law School—graduating with honors while juggling race, class, and
