MAGA Lets Their Racism Show Towards Bad Bunny: Puerto Rico is part of the United States idiots
Let me start with the obvious: Puerto Rico is part of the United States. If you keep forgetting that, maybe read a map. But that fact seems to blow open minds like a shock collar when the MAGA brigade—provoked by Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl headline—whips out the same ugly refrains: “He’s not American.” “Latin takeover.”

Fear and Long Guns on Michigan Avenue
Chicago has always thrived on theater. Jazz clubs, improv stages, opera houses, the permanent farce of city politics—this is a town that knows spectacle. But nothing quite prepared the Magnificent Mile for the latest federal roadshow: dozens of Border Patrol agents in tactical helmets, body armor, and long guns parading up Michigan Avenue like they’d

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.

Abilene LGBT Threat: When “Lock and Load” Becomes the Pride Parade Invitation
They say a threat is just a first draft of violence. Sometimes scribbled on social media, sometimes delivered with clicks and tags—but the message is the same: you are watched, you are vulnerable. In Abilene, Texas, one man apparently decided to turn that sentence into performance art, threatening LGBTQ+ parade participants only days before the

Citizenship: Now Just Another Executive Order
Imagine a world where being born on U.S. soil no longer guarantees U.S. citizenship. That world is now on the table, offered in polite legal briefs and grant requests to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration, having signed an executive order restricting birthright citizenship, is now imploring the highest court to rescue it, after lower

Disney’s Kimmel Imbroglio: Shareholders Su for Truth While Politics Invade the Boardroom
There are many ways for an entertainment empire to humiliate itself. Some settle for the small stuff: a blockbuster flop, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a streaming password crackdown that feels like a mugging. But every so often, a corporation aims higher—producing an operatic self-own so baroque it deserves its own tragic score. Thus we arrive

Government Shutdown or Trump’s Hostage Crisis? Why a Blank Check Is Signing Off on Fascism
Shutdowns are the cheapest trick in Washington’s self-destructive playbook. When the lights dim and federal workers line up for IOUs instead of paychecks, when parks shutter and inspectors vanish, it’s not governance—it’s hostage theater. And here we are again, staring down another government shutdown, a ritual that has grown so common it has its own

Tariff Tsunami: Trump’s Import Spike Crushes Farms, Homes & Health
It is not hyperbole to say that on one cheerful afternoon in late September, President Trump rolled out a tariff package that feels like a slow-motion economic apocalypse. Effective October 1, the administration slapped a 100 percent tariff on pharmaceutical drugs, 50 percent on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, 30 percent on upholstered furniture, and

South Park Season 27 Skewers Trump, Satan, Carr & Noem — It’s Political Satire on Steroids
South Park is back. And this season, it’s swinging harder than ever — not content to linger in the margins, the show has waded into naked deepfakes, Satanic pregnancies, face-melting governors, ICE raids that include dogs, CPC principal rebirths, and a nonstop blitz of Trump-era parody across every frame. If you’re keeping score, here’s your
