  • Trump’s Palantir-Powered Surveillance Is Turning America Into a Digital Prison

    Call it what it is: a panopticon presidency. President Trump’s plan to fuse government power with private surveillance tech to build a centralized, national citizen database is the final step in transforming America from a constitutional republic into a digital dictatorship armed with algorithms and powered by unaccountable, all-seeing artificial intelligence. This isn’t about national security. It’s about control. […]

  • They’re Coming for Your Birthright: Citizenship as Spectacle, Transaction, or Privilege

    A $5 million gold card. A reality show for migrants. A birthright under assault. Let us be very clear: the Trump Administration does not want citizenship to be a right. They want it to be a reward for the loyal, the rich, or the compliant. To this end, President Trump’s bid to unilaterally end birthright citizenship for […]

  • Trump Is Making America Constitutionally Literate—By Violating the Constitution

    Few modern political figures have done more to prompt spontaneous national discussions about the Bill of Rights and constitutional limits on government power than Donald Trump—if only because he tramples on them so frequently. Indeed, President Trump has become a walking civics lesson. Consider some of the constitutional principles that Trump can be credited with […]

  • Trump’s Christian Nationalist Twenty-First Century Inquisition

    Trump’s Christian Nationalist Twenty-First Century Inquisition

    The Inquisition was aimed at enforcing religious orthodoxy in order to preserve Christian dominance and “protect” the faithful. It was a tool for maintaining religious and political control, using interrogation, torture, and banishment. Several centuries later, in the United States, a country mostly run by White Christians, Trump, claiming “christian persecution,” has launched a twenty-first century version of […]

  • How a President Becomes a Dictator

    How a President Becomes a Dictator

    130 executive orders in under 100 days. Sweeping powers claimed in the name of “security” and “efficiency.” One president acting as lawmaker, enforcer, and judge. No debate. No oversight. No limits. This is how the Constitution dies—not with a coup, but with a pen. The Unitary Executive Theory is no longer a theory—it’s the architecture […]

  • SIPRI’s Ongoing Decay from Peace to Mainstream Military Security

    SIPRI is the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, established in 1966. Read about it here and see how it has twisted its aims to not include the words ‘peace research.’ Because here is what it should do according to § 2 of its statutes: “…to conduct scientific research on questions of conflict and cooperation of […]

    Refugee. Dissident. Enemy of the State. Would ICE Have Crucified Jesus?

    Homegrowns are next. The homegrowns. You gotta build about five more places [like the CECOT prison]. It’s not big enough. — President Trump on his desire to send American citizens to a megaprison in El Salvador, beyond the reach of U.S. courts and the Constitution It has begun, just as we predicted, justified in the […]

  • Trump Posts Press Release with Fabrications

    On April 15th, President Trump posted as “News” on his White House website, “These Sick Criminals Are Who Democrats and the Legacy Media Are Defending”, and opened: Brutal killers and rapists — all taken off our streets in just the past week thanks to the tireless work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If Democrats […]

  • What It Means to Weaponize the Government

    What It Means to Weaponize the Government

    President Trump’s declaration of war as a justification for using wartime powers to sidestep constitutional protections is indeed a war, but it is a war waged by the president against dissent, against due process, and against the very foundations of our constitutional republic. This is what it means to weaponize the government. When the government […]

  • Nicaragua Ranks Highest in Gender Equity in the Americas and #6 Globally, According to the World Economic Forum, So Why Are They Under Sanctions?

    Nicaragua Ranks Highest in Gender Equity in the Americas and #6 Globally, According to the World Economic Forum, So Why Are They Under Sanctions?

    Managua, Nicaragua — If you asked 100 people in the U.S. or the U.K. to name the country leading gender equity in the Americas, it’s unlikely anyone would correctly answer Nicaragua. This lack of awareness reflects the success of a decades-long imperialist campaign to discredit and undermine Nicaragua’s remarkable achievements since the 1979 revolution. The […]
