Every "partial ceasefire" that leaves tanks rolling and bombs falling isn't a step toward anything except prolonged suffering and cynicism. It’s just a used-car sale repackaging of diplomatic half-measures as humanitarian achievements. https://www.theindex.media/the-art-of-the-toothless-ceasefire/

Democracy isn’t dying in a blaze of glory. It’s getting quietly repo’d by wealth-hoarding sociopaths who see human rights as inefficiencies and elections as an annoying pop-up they should be able to block. https://www.theindex.media/the-fascist-tech-bro-takeover-is-here-2/

If a grand strategy existed behind this circus, there could be something to debate. Something to argue against. Something to disprove. But there isn't. There is only racism, bigotry, hate, jealousy, vengeance, stupidity, recklessness, incoherence, and grift. https://www.theindex.media/what-the-hell-are-we-doing/

The world's most powerful nation has become a pathological liar - breaking treaties, abandoning allies, shredding regulations, and destroying its own institutions. The American guarantee is a joke. https://www.theindex.media/the-american-guarantee-is-a-joke/

Sudan is being erased in real-time. A million refugees. A military ruling over ruins. A famine engineered by war. And the world? Silent. Watching. Pretending it isn’t happening. The least you can do is pay attention. My column on The Index: https://www.theindex.media/the-sudan-crisis-is-a-slow-motion-man-made-catastrophe/

Trump is playing a game of chicken with two million Palestinian lives, betting that someone—Jordan, Egypt, or the world—will flinch first and accept the burden of his forced displacement plan. https://www.theindex.media/a-game-of-chicken-with-two-million-lives-at-stake/

Can you name a single position that today's Republican Party would maintain if Trump tweeted against it tomorrow morning? Can you imagine any principle they wouldn't abandon if he demanded it? Is there any line they wouldn't cross? https://www.theindex.media/the-republican-party-is-dead/

The Democratic leadership has convinced itself that each yes vote on a Republican nomination somehow banks political capital for the future. What future? When your opponent announces their intention to end democracy as we know it, what exactly are you saving your political capital for? https://www.theindex.media/its-scorched-earth-time/

This isn’t trade policy anymore—it’s economic warfare waged by clowns with sledgehammers, and the wreckage will define the next century. https://www.theindex.media/trade-war-2-0-dumber-deadlier-and-destined-for-disaster/

Trump treats tariffs like a toddler treats a new word, repeating it endlessly without grasping its meaning in his stained, clutching hands. But these aren't magical tools that force other countries to pay him money. https://www.theindex.media/these-clowns-are-economic-illiterates/

67 dead in a midair collision. Before the bodies were recovered, Trump was already blaming Obama, Biden, and DEI. The GOP has gone from “personal responsibility” to full-time professional victimhood. https://www.theindex.media/the-potomac-shuffle-how-trumps-blame-game-is-destroying-america/

The final chapter of Tesla isn't about innovation. It's about the hubris of a white supremacist who thinks he rules the world. The brand that once promised to save the planet is now a study in how fast one ketamine-addled man-child can drive a company off a cliff. https://www.theindex.media/nobody-wants-a-nazi-electric-car/

Trump just ordered HIV medication to be withheld from Africa's poorest communities. This is what white supremacy looks like in action. https://www.theindex.media/trumps-pepfar-shutdown-is-white-supremacy-in-action-2/
