The Dust in the Sunlight: Why I Stopped Waiting and Hit Publish
Thank you for being here—for reading to the bottom, for believing longform isn’t dead, for understanding that the dust in the sunlight is not failure but evidence. Evidence that we’ve been moving, living, changing the air. These books are my evidence. I hope one of them becomes yours.

Pete Buttigieg and the Litmus Test That Ate 2028
This was supposed to be Buttigieg’s strength: grace under pressure, a knack for threading impossible needles. Instead, he’s left with the political equivalent of a half-buttoned shirt in a job interview—too casual for the formal crowd, too formal for the casual one. The Gaza litmus test has no safe answers. But what Pete Buttigieg discovered…

Twenty-Two Years and Counting: Trump’s Guide to Admiring Power for Power’s Sake
Trump’s admiration for Aliyev isn’t an isolated gaffe or a harmless bit of flattery. It’s a window into a worldview where longevity in power is proof of merit, where central control is synonymous with good governance, and where dissent is a branding problem, not a democratic right. The lesson here isn’t that Trump wants to…

The Hunting Wives and Why I Loved It: A Satirical Love Letter
The Hunting Wives doesn’t just watch you—it pulls you into its velvet vortex and dares you to escape. It’s not refined; it’s refined chaos. We’re diving into this unpredictable, morally acute carnival not out of taste, but obsession. Because when a show can be queer, kinky, satirical, and absurdly bingeable all at once—you don’t love…

When Your AI Won’t Pledge Allegiance
Someday, there might be a museum exhibit about this: The Chatbot That Knew Too Much. And if the MAGA museum curators get their hands on it, the placard will read: “An early example of AI misinformation, quickly corrected by patriotic engineers.” The rest of us will know it for what it was: the only thing…

When Shots Echo in Hallowed Halls: CDC Under Fire, Misinformation to Blame
Here’s the hard truth: when misinformation becomes gospel, shooting at disease-fighting institutions becomes protest. When public health is delegitimized by those in power, the weapons stop being metaphorical. At the end of this horror, officers died, scientists feared for their lives, and toddlers cried behind locked doors. And while logos and bullet casings can be…

Trump Taps Heritage Foundation Economist to Run Bureau of Labor Statistics — Because What Is Math Without Ideology?
It’s easy to shrug off an appointment like this as inside-baseball politics. But the numbers the BLS produces influence interest rates, Social Security cost-of-living adjustments, wage negotiations, and how every American feels about the state of the economy. Put the wrong storyteller in charge of those numbers, and you can warp not just policy, but…

BREAKING: Trump Takes Over DC Police in “Law & Order” Miracle — Deploys National Guard for Public Theater
WASHINGTON —History books have a habit of glossing over the quieter coups. The ones without tanks rolling through the streets, without generals at microphones, without gunfire. The coups that happen under the cover of “public safety,” with a smile, a signature, and a TV camera. This week, Donald Trump proved that you can drape a

Breadlines With Ballistics: On Aid, Optics, and the Math of Looking Away
There’s a certain kind of silence that only exists in a crowd waiting for food. It’s not quiet—nothing about hunger is quiet—but it has an agreed-upon hush, a choreography of patience. Bodies stand still because moving burns calories you don’t have. Eyes scan for motion because motion means a truck, a crate, a whisper that

Purge Season at the FBI: Now Streaming in the Authoritarian Originals Category
It’s hard to keep up with the entertainment landscape these days. One week it’s “Shark Week,” the next it’s “Barbenheimer,” and now — premiering exclusively on the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ morally grey channel — we have The Purge: Loyalty Oath Edition. This season stars Kash Patel, the FBI’s current Director and apparent graduate of
