Trump Asked Influencers to Snitch on Antifa Like It’s a McCarthy-Era Blacklist
So, Trump spent an hour and a half yesterday asking conservative influencers to snitch on Antifa’s funders like he’s crowdsourcing a McCarthy-era blacklist. One guy brought him a burned flag and Trump acted like he’d just been handed the Ark of the Covenant. The whole spectacle would be funny if it wasn’t so transparently stupid.…
Trump’s Fossil Fuel Agenda Is a Debt Payment to Oil Executives
Trump’s fossil fuel agenda isn’t about energy security or economic prosperity or any of the bullshit he spouts from the Oval Office. It’s about paying back the oil executives who bought him the presidency. They made an investment and they expect returns. Simple as that. I’d say that there ought to be a law against…
Trump’s Aid Cuts Are Killing Children
In May, a two-year-old kid died in a Rohingya internment camp after his family’s food rations stopped coming. His name was Hashim and his father Mohammed Taher held his lifeless body while the other 145,000 people trapped in those prison camps wondered if their kids would be next.

Voter Suppression Law Blocked by 9th Circuit Court
In February, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dealt a blow to Arizona’s voter laws. They ruled against provisions requiring documentary proof of citizenship for presidential elections. The panel’s 2-1 majority didn’t mince words, calling many of these measures “unlawful measures of voter suppression.” Like a Pavement song that seemed straightforward until you really listened…
Trillions Down the Drain and Lives Torn Apart: Trump’s Ukraine-Russia Stance Pisses on America’s Sacrifice
For generations, the United States has been the world’s self-appointed hall monitor. It has spent trillions of dollars. Military bases have been scattered like confetti. The Quincy Institute counts about 750 in 80 countries and territories, all to keep the playground bullies in line. Why? To stand against aggressors who think “might makes right” is…
Trump’s Trans Policy is Dangerous and Dumb
The Trump administration decided that trans people must list their birth gender on passports and other official documents - though a federal judge put the passport part on hold nationwide in June. At first glance, it might seem like just another bureaucratic rule - annoying but not catastrophic. But in reality, it’s absurd, impractical, and dangerous. This policy serves no legitimate purpose other than to make life harder for trans people.
How Trump is Using “America First” For Personal Gain

Their stated goal? Strengthening the so-called “Patriot Economy” by funneling money into American businesses that align with their ideological and political vision. Now, could this be tied to…
