The Frictionless Revolution. Content Warning.
In June 2020, amid global pandemic and social upheaval, Black Lives Matter protests erupted across the Western world following the murder of George Floyd. Within days, social media platforms became saturated with political content, black squares flooded Instagram feeds, hashtags trended worldwide, and millions engaged in what appeared to be unprecedented digital activism. Yet within months, despite this spectacular display of political energy, the fundamental structures of policing, racial inequality, and institutional power remained largely unchanged. This phenomenon reveals what we must term quantum metapolitics, a condition wherein political activity appears omnipresent, saturating every digital interaction and social discourse, yet paradoxically manifests nowhere in particular as meaningful structural transformation.

“Care Is the Flame They Fear”. Content Warning.
The Department of Education announced this reclassification plan in early November 2025, and it is tied to the implementation of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed in July 2025. The Department has said final rules will be released by spring 2026, so the changes are not yet in effect but are expected to take hold then.

Shabana Mahmood: Getting Tough on Migrants?
You may recall another article I wrote where the British Labour government was following Denmark's way of dealing with illegal migrants/immigrants. Mette Frederiksen, the Danish PM, was facing the same problem that Sir Keir Starmer is facing now. That is, right-wing parties were accusing the Danish government, the equivalent of the British Labour Party, of doing little or nothing to stop the flow of foreigners into Denmark. So what did she do? Ms. Frederiksen came down hard on migrants seeking asylum in Denmark. She enacted policies that deterred migrants from coming to Denmark. Deportations and other anti migrant policies got results in real time. This took the wind out of the sails of her political opponents.

Trump: BBC Doctored Speech.
One remembers when Trump lost the election to Joe Biden. Trump stood behind bulletproof screens and told his followers to walk down to the seat of government, and he would come with them. He said we must fight like hell when we get there. What followed was a storming of the seat of the government that looked to all intents and purposes like an insurrection. However, this comes with a caveat. Trump never said in his speech, "We'll fight like hell". It turns out that at the time, the BBC spliced together two excerpts from Trump's speech that made it look like he had said "We'll fight like hell"!

Trade Weaponization - Punishment to Pakistan
In the rugged passes where the mountains of Afghanistan meet the plains of Pakistan, a long-standing trade artery has always flowed: goods, fruits, textiles, vehicles, labour, ambition. But now, this artery has been deliberately constricted, and in doing so the spectre of “trade as a weapon” has re-emerged in full force. For decades, Pakistan has treated its neighbour Afghanistan not solely as an economic partner but also as a zone of leverage. This time, the calculus has taken on sharper edges: the closure of trade routes, suspension of transit agreements, and threats of permanent exclusion.
