I said it back when this whole saga first flared up, when Zohran Mamdani was still riding the momentum of his mayoral campaign and delighting his base with the kind of righteous, uncompromising language that wins primaries but rarely survives contact with the actual machinery of governance, that he would eventually find a way toContinue reading “The Prophecy Fulfilled: How Mamdani’s Netanyahu Dance Played Out Exactly as Predicted”

Believing the Accuser Should Not Depend on Which Team They’re Accusing
I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I want to lay it out carefully, because I think it is one of the more uncomfortable truths in American politics, the truth that we, as a country, have developed a habit of treating accusations against politicians as credible or not credible based almostContinue reading “Believing the Accuser Should Not Depend on Which Team They’re Accusing”
Accountability Should Not Be Selective: Why I Believe James Comey Should Face Consequences
There are moments in politics when your principles are tested not by your enemies, but by the people you are more inclined to agree with. This is one of those moments for me. I identify as progressive. I have been openly critical of Donald Trump and much of what he represents politically. I disagree withContinue reading “Accountability Should Not Be Selective: Why I Believe James Comey Should Face Consequences”
A Dangerous Precedent: Why Deploying ICE Agents to U.S. Airports Will Endanger Everyone
The announcement that the U.S. government plans to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents into airports across the country under the guise of helping with security is not just another controversial political stunt. It represents a profound misstep with far‑reaching consequences for the safety, security, and civil liberties of Americans, lawful residents, foreign visitors,Continue reading “A Dangerous Precedent: Why Deploying ICE Agents to U.S. Airports Will Endanger Everyone”
Chaos in New York: How Trump’s Escalation Is Making Everyone Less Safe
It is March 8, 2026 as I write this, and the past twenty-four hours alone show how volatile things have become. On March 7, New York City saw multiple demonstrations connected to the widening conflict with Iran. One protest was explicitly anti-Muslim and reportedly organized by Jake Lang, taking place near Gracie Mansion. Authorities wereContinue reading “Chaos in New York: How Trump’s Escalation Is Making Everyone Less Safe”
Trump’s Iran Escalation Is Now Hitting the UAE — And the Region May Never Be the Same
It is hard to overstate how quickly this situation has metastasized. What began as a joint strike by the United States and Israel on Iran has now rippled outward into the broader Middle East. Iran is retaliating — not just symbolically, not just rhetorically — but strategically. And one of the clearest examples of theContinue reading “Trump’s Iran Escalation Is Now Hitting the UAE — And the Region May Never Be the Same”
Trump Made America Less Safe — And Now We’re Living With the Consequences
It is now March 4, 2026. A few days have passed since the United States and Israel attacked Iran. A few days since reports surfaced that Iran’s leadership may have been decapitated. A few days since the world tilted further toward chaos. And now we are living in the immediate aftermath. The rhetoric has shiftedContinue reading “Trump Made America Less Safe — And Now We’re Living With the Consequences”
The Totem Pole Nobody Talks About
There’s a post circulating on social media that got me thinking, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. The idea is simple on the surface but goes pretty deep when you sit with it. The post was drawing a comparison between how quickly Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein were prosecuted andContinue reading “The Totem Pole Nobody Talks About”
Even If the Economy Is Good, That Doesn’t Cancel Out the Epstein Question
There’s a line I keep seeing over and over again whenever the Epstein files come up. Someone will say, “Why are we focusing on that? Look at the economy. Look at the markets. Look at gas prices. Look at jobs. Donald Trump is doing good things.” And here’s the thing. Even if he were. ItContinue reading “Even If the Economy Is Good, That Doesn’t Cancel Out the Epstein Question”
The Weaponization of “Antisemitism” and Islamophobia: A Hero’s Story Twisted by Hate
The recent tragedy in Australia, a shooting targeting Jewish individuals during Hanukkah celebrations, has sparked both horror and admiration. A Syrian-Australian Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, became an unexpected hero when he risked his life to stop one of the shooters. Al Ahmed, who had been enjoying a quiet evening with a friend at BondiContinue reading “The Weaponization of “Antisemitism” and Islamophobia: A Hero’s Story Twisted by Hate”
