“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” benjamin franklin In 1982, a man in Alabama named Willie Simmons stole nine dollars. It was a street-corner scuffle: a man knocked down, his wallet grabbed, a few crumpled bills taken. There was no weapon, no blood, no […]

Anti-fascism did not begin as a movement of masked youth or street protests. It began as the most basic moral instinct of humankind: to resist domination, cruelty, and the worship of power. Long before anyone called it “Antifa,” it was the underground network smuggling Jews out of Germany, the Spanish Republicans fighting Franco’s troops, the […]
There is nothing accidental about the way Trump talks about American cities. He does not stumble into exaggeration; he crafts it. He calls Portland a “war zone” on a Monday and by Sunday the narrative is seeding itself across cable shows and social posts. He points a finger, the cameras magnify the finger, and then […]
The latest trick of America’s ruling blowhards is branding the most obvious human decency as terrorism. Say you’re anti-fascist and suddenly you’re a threat to national security. Antifa! they shriek, as if the word itself has fangs. Let’s be clear. Antifa means anti-fascist. If you aren’t anti-fascist, then what exactly are you? Pro-fascist? Neutral on […]
I grieved when I saw the footage. I did not like Charlie Kirk. I despised his politics, his methods, and the damage he caused. But watching him gunned down on a college campus filled me with horror. No one deserves that. Not him, not anyone. To see a man murdered for exercising his right to […]
It is easy to imagine a secret police force as something beyond the law: clandestine, illegal, operating in shadows. The horror of ICE is subtler and more insidious: it acts within the law, and that legality is the shield that allows its abuses to continue. ICE does not need to break the law; it is […]
There’s no need to soften it: Donald Trump is a cuckold. Politically. Morally. Spiritually. His relationship to Vladimir Putin is not one of equal statesmen, not even of wary adversaries. It is the posture of a broken man, bent low, with his pride shoved into the dirt, waiting for the approval of a tyrant. And […]
Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, recently shared a video that featured pastors advocating two remarkable “solutions” to America’s supposed moral decline: repeal women’s right to vote and re-criminalize homosexuality. He reposted this video without criticism, pairing it with the approving slogan: “All of Christ for All of Life.” For anyone tempted to dismiss […]
Isn’t it just so refreshing to finally have a president who tells it like it is? No more of that sneaky backroom politics, no more moral ambiguity or carefully worded statements. No, with Donald Trump, what you see is exactly what you get. Forget all those politicians who hide their malice behind complex policy or […]
Donald Trump’s latest “retruth” wasn’t just a social media post—it was a history lesson written in the language of hate. The image he amplified showed an inverted pink triangle, the very symbol the Nazis used to brand gay men and some transgender women in concentration camps. Slashing over that triangle is a bright red prohibition […]
