  • Small Town Politics Imbued with Arrested Development, Retrograde Thinking and a Whole Lotta MAGA

    Small Town Politics Imbued with Arrested Development, Retrograde Thinking and a Whole Lotta MAGA

    Listen here to our talk, airing on my radio show, Finding Fringe: Voices from the Edge. It is a microsm of AmeriKKKa’s large and small communities. Heidi Lambert was voted into Waldport, Oregon’s volunteer mayoral position but was fired, then had to file a state ethics complaint, and now those fifth graders are running a […]

  • Architecture of the National Security State

    Architecture of the National Security State

    Introduction What we are witnessing in the United States today is not a series of isolated policy excesses or unfortunate “overreaches,” but the maturation of a coherent architecture of repression — a national security state that fuses intelligence, policing, militarization, and ideological discipline into a single system of control. This system is not reactive; it […]

  • Policing of Palestine Movement in Canada

    A new report has been published by the Anti-Racism Program of the CJPME Foundation (ARPCF), documenting how Canadian authorities have responded to pro-Palestinian activism with disproportionate policing, surveillance, and legal targeting. Titled “Policing Palestine Solidarity: A crisis of Civil Liberties in Canada (2021-2025),” the 71-page report finds that in the wake of Gaza solidarity mobilizations, state institutions […]

  • Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 is Operation TIPS on steroids. After 9/11, President George W. Bush proposed a program recruiting ordinary workers — truck drivers, postal workers, utility workers, cable installers — to report “suspicious behavior” to authorities. Critics quickly warned that TIPS resembled a domestic informant network, a kind of “neighbors spying […]

  • The Spectacle of a Police State: This Is Martial Law Without a Formal Declaration of War

    In Trump’s America, the bar for martial law is no longer constitutional—it’s personal. What is unfolding right now in California—with hundreds of Marines deployed domestically; thousands of National Guard troops federalized; and military weapons, tactics and equipment on full display—is intended to intimidate, distract and discourage us from pulling back the curtain on the reality of […]

  • Public Funding of “Antisemitism Industrial Complex” Must End

    Historians aren’t going to believe this happened. All Canadians are paying a special envoy to lobby the police to exempt genocidaires from Canadian law. On Thursday Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism Deborah Lyons posted: Yesterday I spoke to the RCMP and confirmed that there is no investigation into Israeli Canadians. […]

  • 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 […]

  • A Gift America Can’t Return

    The American police state has become America’s new crime boss. Thirty years after then-President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law, its legacy of mass incarceration, police militarization, and over-criminalization continues to haunt us. It has become the gift that America can’t seem to return. We are now suffering […]

  • Is the Constitution Becoming Optional?

    Is the Constitution Becoming Optional?

    Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a ‘Bill of Temporary Privileges.’ And if you read the news, even badly, you know that the list gets shorter and shorter. —George Carlin Disguising its power grabs in the self-righteous fervor of national security, […]

  • This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

    This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

    That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale This is how it begins. This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security. Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of […]
