All Epstein All the Time. Content Warning.
Dear MAGA faithful: I’ve got your next assignment. You like conspiracies? Great. You like pretending the deep state is real? Fantastic. You want to drain the swamp? Super. Then drop everything—Hunter’s laptop, the woke M&Ms, Kamala’s laugh—and focus. It’s Epstein time. All Epstein. All the time.

Trump vs. His Reflection – “The Ghost of Sex Trafficking Past”. Content Warning.
(Scene opens: The gold-plated bathroom of Mar-a-Lago. TRUMP stands at the mirror in a silk robe, adjusting his hair like it’s still 1993. He mutters to himself while scrolling on his phone.)

The Brilliant Plan to Collapse the Economy One Deportation at a Time
The Department of Homeland Security might want to consider a rebrand: maybe something like the Department of National Self-Sabotage. Because what else do you call a government actively purging the very labor force that props up the American economy while pretending it’s all part of some master plan to Make America Great Again™?

Why Independence Day Feels More Funeral Dirge Than Celebration This Year
There’s a heaviness in the air this Fourth of July, and it’s not just the wildfire smoke, supply chain shortages, or the inflation-devoured hot dogs. It’s the somber realization that we’re not celebrating freedom anymore—we’re clinging to the idea of it like a memory fading in real time.

Trump vs. His Reflection: Greatness in the Eye of the Beholder
Scene: Mar-a-Lago bathroom, late at night. Trump is shirtless, in red silk boxers and gold slippers, hair wild, gesturing emphatically at the mirror. His reflection looks more composed—older, vaguely Freudian, and wearing a concerned expression while holding a notepad.*

Turn Out the Lights When You Leave
I stayed longer than I should have. For years, I told myself this country was in a rough patch — that democracies wobble, that we’d find our footing again. I watched the rise of disinformation, the gerrymandering, the purges, the rise of armed “poll watchers,” the normalization of lies. I saw ICE raid homes at 2 a.m., I saw journalists arrested, I saw peaceful protests treated like insurgencies. And still, I stayed.

What the F#%k is wrong with people?. Content Warning.
Let’s skip the pleasantries. What the f%#k is wrong with people? I’m not talking about policy disagreements or ideological divides. I’m talking about the daily flood of soul-curdling nonsense that makes you want to walk into the sea. I’m talking about the kind of willful ignorance, cruelty-as-a-branding-strategy, and internet-addled brain rot that now passes for public discourse.

Radio Free California: Resistance Handbook Chapter 3
[Opening Theme Music: static, shortwave tuning, faint siren wail in the background.] ANNOUNCER (calm, serious, resolute): This is Radio Free California. Day 19 of the creeping coup. Broadcasting from the occupied zone.

When the Badge Becomes a Bludgeon
“When a long train of abuses and usurpations…” Thomas Jefferson wrote, warning that tyranny doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps. It disguises itself in uniforms. It insists it’s just following policy.

JD Vance: From Hillbilly Elegy to Beltway Bootlicker. Content Warning.
JD Vance: still pretending to be the voice of Ohio while carrying water for San Francisco billionaires and throwing racial slurs like a frat boy in 1952. Once the self-styled son of Middletown’s rusted-out factories, now just another Yale-washed sycophant who traded his dignity for a seat at the grown-up table — only to find out the table was run by fascists and the menu was cruelty.
