There’s a familiar reaction that usually follows government violence in America.This time, it didn’t.

In this piece, I talk about what was missing after the killing of Renée Good — and why noticing that absence matters more than any hot take.

This is a short clip from my podcast.

I recorded this after realizing that what we’re seeing right now — from government violence to expansionist rhetoric — isn’t just noise or distraction. It’s intent.

I didn’t post a video immediately because anger isn’t strategy.This clip explains why.

The full podcast episode will be available Monday.

Lately, I’ve been attracting a new audience — including trolls repeating very familiar talking points.That’s usually a sign that reach is growing and lines are being drawn.This channel believes in democracy, sovereignty, and the basic idea that invasion is wrong. I don’t debate that here. I state it plainly.Thanks for being part of this community — and for standing on principle.Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

Five years after January 6, the wound remains open. Not because we don’t know what happened — but because the truth is still being withheld. This piece examines the attack, the failures that followed, and why public pressure is the only path left to accountability.

Most people remember 1984 for Big Brother and surveillance.But there’s another lesson in Orwell’s book that feels disturbingly relevant right now — how power organizes itself around permanent conflict and shifting enemies when resistance fades.

This piece isn’t about prediction or panic.It’s about recognizing patterns — and what happens when we ignore them.

Once you see it, it’s hard to unsee it.

This video looks backward to understand what’s happening now.

Iran was once a center of learning, culture, and religious coexistence before its democracy was overthrown and its future redirected by outside powers. The consequences of that decision shaped decades of conflict and resentment.

Venezuela is in the news today, but the pattern feels familiar.

This isn’t an argument about personalities or parties.It’s about history, power, and whether we ever remember how we got here.

A viral panic about a Post Office rule change turned out not to be much of a story at all.

But the reaction to it says a lot about where we are right now. Journalism is failing. Social media is filling the gap. And fear spreads faster than facts.

If we’re going to be the new Fourth Estate, we have to do better than outrage. We have to choose curiosity, verification, and accountability.

Because the sky doesn’t have to be falling for democracy to be in danger.

After posting my video on ACA subsidies and Medicare for All, I heard from a lot of you. Some supportive. Some critical. One very angry.

This follow up is a clarification. Medicare for All is not just an expansion of today’s Medicare, and taking health care off employer balance sheets is not a gift to corporations. It’s about freeing workers, strengthening small businesses, and making monopolies less powerful.
