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…

Trump Declares War on Portland (Again): Because Nothing Says Public Safety Like Martial Law for Coffee Shops
The president has dusted off his 2020 scrapbook and decided Portland, Oregon, looks best under military occupation. Once more, the word “domestic terrorist” has been stretched to cover anyone carrying a megaphone near an ICE building. Once more, federal power has been dressed up as patriotism and pointed at a blue city that never asked…

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…

World at War: While Trump Tweets, Armageddon Does Its Thing
They say history doesn’t repeat—but lately, it’s doing sequels. The globe is reawakening to a chaos so thick it’s becoming the new normal: Russia muscling NATO’s borders, fighters popping into sovereign airspaces, Beijing and Moscow cozied up in strategic waltz over Taiwan, Iran’s missile tattooing the skies, and Israel and Gaza locked in their endless…

DOJ vs. Soros: The Loyalty Test Disguised as Law
It begins, as these things always do, with a memo. Not a law passed by Congress, not a court case argued in daylight, but a crisp, bureaucratic directive—parchment as performance art. On September 25, 2025, a senior official in Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office, Aakash Singh, quietly sent word to at least seven U.S.…

Watergate’s Dismal Sequel: Indicting Comey in Broad Daylight
There was a time when “indicting a former FBI Director” would have been the kind of storyline you read in paperback thrillers at the airport newsstand, usually involving shadowy double agents, a safe house in Prague, and a protagonist who knows too much. Now it’s just Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury has…

United We Scroll: 100 Things We All Secretly Agree On That Democrats Actually Campaign On While Republicans Pretend Don’t Exist
Every morning, cable news assures us that America is a house divided, a republic hanging by a thread, two tribes locked in a forever war where a neighbor’s yard sign is the moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor. Turn on Fox News and you’ll learn Democrats are Satan’s personal interns. Flip over to MSNBC and Republicans…

Democracy with a Matchbook: How America Learned to Love Political Violence, Tribalism, and Excel Spreadsheets
Pod Save America did what it does best: deliver the bad news with a podcast ad break for magnesium powder and underwear that “feels like on-body AC.” The guest of honor was Dr. Liliana Mason, Johns Hopkins political scientist and unwilling Cassandra of our collapsing republic. Her subject? The roots of political violence in America…

When Separation of Powers Becomes Separation Anxiety
The Supreme Court has once again reminded us that the Constitution is less a sacred text and more a choose-your-own-adventure paperback where one ending includes civil liberties and the other ends with Donald Trump auditioning for The Apprentice: Federal Agencies Edition. On September 22, 2025, the Court—in a tidy little 6–3 order—handed President Trump what…

When Politicians Pretend They’re Revolutionaries: The Palestine Recognition Spectacle
They said “symbolic.” They said “diplomatic.” They said “a step toward peace.” But when the Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia stood up in unison and said, “Yes, Palestine is a state,” it looked less like diplomacy and more like a performance. One of those moral theater pieces meant to reassure the…
