The Indefinite Shutdown: A Political Strategy Disguised as Stalemate
Thereās a certain eerie dĆ©jĆ vu that comes with watching the government grind to a halt again, but this time, the tone feels different.

The Epstein Files Have Become Vaporware
So, this might sound like a doomer post. Might sound like a defeatist post. But so what. Because, reallyāat some point, we gotta face the reality of it. The Epstein files.

Mutualism and Cooperativism: The Better Way Beyond Capitalism and Communism

The Fragile Loyalty of Zohran Mamdaniās Base
Zohran Mamdani has captured attention and imagination. Among his supporters, he represents hope, progress, and a vision of politics untainted by compromise.

The Simplest Plan Isnāt a Plan at All: The Hypothetical Third Term and the Erosion of Boundaries

It feels almost too absurd toContinue reading “The Simplest Plan Isnāt a Plan at All: The Hypothetical Third Term and the Erosion of Boundaries”
This Isnāt āPartial,ā This Is Paralysis
I was watching CerosTV recently, and he said something that really stuck with me. As of October 24th, 2025 ā now October 25th ā this shutdown isnāt going away anytime soon. And heās right. Because the truth is, they havenāt agreed on anything. Not a framework, not a direction, not even a foundation. Theyāre notContinue reading “This Isnāt āPartial,ā This Is Paralysis”
