To Parkrose Permaculture: Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful segment. You’ve articulated a frustration I’ve felt deeply but struggled to name—that “denominationalism” on the left that prioritizes purity over power. Your breakdown of Timothy Snyder’s thoughts on solidarity was a breath of fresh air.
We’ve Gotten Really Good at This Look, I need to talk to you about something that’s been gnawing at me since Charlie Kirk got shot. Not the shooting itself – though obviously that was horrible – but what happened after. How we all responded. How good we’ve gotten at this. Within hours, we had the…
We Are Living Through a Constitutional Crisis Trump just started a war. Am I losing sleep? Why yes I am. Let’s dive in. Our president just bombed Iran. Not some limited strike, not some symbolic response. He dropped bunker-buster bombs on three nuclear facilities without congressional approval and without any of the constitutional processes that…
The Real Economic Villains: What Bill Burr and Kyle Kulinski Got Right I was scrolling through YouTube last night when I stumbled across an episode of Secular Talk where Kyle Kulinski breaks down a recent Bill Burr podcast rant. What struck me wasn’t just how funny Burr’s take was, but how clearly he cut through…
The realtor’s camera pans across rows of vacant, overpriced rentals in a manicured development, “For Rent” signs swinging like pendulums counting down to collapse. “It’s official, everyone—we’re now seeing the biggest exodus out of Florida since 2008!” he declares with forced cheer. The U.S. Census data he cites reveals the brutal truth: Miami-Dade lost 67,000…

This is a response to Fox New’s and News Nation’s video about Green Berets training Mexican military. In this case, “Ignorant Peasants” are American consumers. (We can hardly call ourselves citizens, since we’re not doing the work of learning about civics. So… we’re consumers, not really citizens.)
This is a response to Sabine Hossenfelder’s video about giving up on climate goals.
If you’re thinking about writing to your Republican legislators about the current crisis, let me save you some time: Don’t bother with arguments about DEI, government waste, or partisan politics. They’ve heard it all before, and those arguments won’t move them. What they urgently need to understand – and what might actually get their attention…
As you gather your W-2s and tax documents this January, you might be thinking about your 2024 tax return. But there’s a bigger story looming: This is the last year of normal tax returns for what’s left of the middle class. Starting in 2026, when you file taxes for 2025, your bill is going to…
