What Exactly Do We Mean By “War” (And Aren’t We Already IN One)?
Is Vladimir Putin’s nuclear sabre rattling meant to keep us out of a war or is it meant to keep us from realizing we’re already in one? I don’t think it’s even close: we’re already in a war – a world war, in fact, we just haven’t stopped to see it for what it is…

The only thing…

White Supremacy Is The Thing Conservatives Really Want To Conserve
I take conservatives at their word. Well, at their name: conservatives want to conserve. Fair enough. The obvious question is “what”. WHAT do conservatives want to conserve? Just to narrow it down – we know it can’t be the future, it doesn’t exist yet. There’s nothing to conserve. That limits conservable things to the present…

That “Treason Moment”
America is slowly awakening to the fact that we are awash in treason. If we go by the word’s standard definition – a traitor being someone “attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance” – then pretty much every Republican who isn’t Liz Cheney or Adam…
