The Absurd Dream of Martial Law Imperial Theater Abroad, Federalized Force at Home: The Synchronized Collapse of Civilian Rule

The absurd dream of martial law is belief legitimacy can be replaced by control, that you can remove foreign presidents, threaten strikes without authorization, control communication, deploy federal force in cities, and still govern rather than merely manage.

Dispatch from Occupied Territory: The Yellow Brick Road to Fascism A farewell to Dick Cheney and the architecture of the Homeland State

Dick Cheney may be gone, but the Homeland he built remains. This essay traces how the logic of endless security fused with neoliberal austerity to create an occupied America — and how, here in Chicago, a new architecture of care is rising from the ruins.

John Brown and the Moral Imagination of Rebellion A Role Model for White Activism, America’s Most Honest Patriot

We honor presidents who owned slaves & generals who fought to preserve bondage, yet there’s no national holiday for John Brown—the man who gave his life to end it. Why does America fear to celebrate its most honest patriot? What does our silence about him reveal.

From ICE to the Goon Squad: When the Uniform No Longer Protects You and Lessons from the Fall of Impunity America’s enforcement agencies aren’t inventing new corruption — they’re rebuilding an old architecture of impunity, one history has already condemned.

In When the Uniform No Longer Protects You, I trace how agencies like ICE have created an “architecture of impunity” through undertraining, financial incentives, and political silence.

“The badge doesn’t protect you from the law; it marks you for it.”

Communities being occupied is nothing new to African Americans. An irony that we have long endured — armed surveillance, economic containment, and state neglect — is now expanding to encompass poor white and brown communities, and, in a final irony, America itself.

Obama and the Patriot Act Representation Without Transformation: The Lesson of the Obama Era

Barack Obama’s presidency was both a triumph of symbolism and a tragedy of structure — a moment when eloquence met empire, and the dream of transformation collided with the machinery of the state.

“In the Shadow of Tragedy, We Must Choose Peace” Charlie Kirk’s assassination must not be turned into martyrdom for division.

Across time, grief has been turned into myth, and myth into division. From Berlin to Moscow to our own streets, martyrdom has been used to escalate violence. Let us resist history’s cycle now.

The Ballad of Art T. Burton: Cowboys, Cimarrones, and the Stories We Never Heard What if the iconic lone hero on horseback wasn’t white, wasn’t solitary, and wasn’t even uniquely American?

What if the cowboy you grew up watching was never the whole story? From Black cowboys and Cimarrones to gauchos and vaqueros, the frontier was always multiracial and global. In my latest Substack, I reflect on Art T. Burton’s life’s work and my own memories.

Pussy ass response, basically “ what about the democrats?” Fine. Expose the whole corrupt sex crazed duopoly child abusing cabal composed of both parties.

Step into the archive of the future. In this edition of A Different Lens, I trace the roots of Black speculative fiction from Huts of America to the radical worlds of Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin—showing how the Black imagination has always been a tool of liberation, not escape. This isn’t just about stories—it’s about strategy, survival, and the futures we’re building right now. Read on, and see what happens when vision becomes praxis.

Zionism, Sandwiches, an Ivy Covered Gate and Golda Meir It started in Chicago’s North Lawndale at a Church that was a Synagogue, a three minute walk from Golda Meir’s house

From the West Side of Chicago to the politics of dispossession, this is a personal reflection on how Jim Crow, Zionism, and Apartheid share a blueprint—and why only mass movements have ever stopped them.

Juneteenth was granted after George Floyd’s murder—but still no law says cops who shoot unarmed people must face jury trials.

It’s easier to sell us a holiday than to give us justice.
Slave patrols became police.
Don’t celebrate—organize.

She’s a good little Nazi. Just following orders. There will be trials over this one day. The damage they’ve caused, the lives that will be lost we’ll demand justice.

Our comrade. Cha Cha Jimenez has passed away today.

José "Cha Cha" Jiménez (born August 8, 1948) is a political activist and the founder of the Young Lords Organization, a Chicago-based street gang that became a civil and human rights organization. Started in September 23, 1968. He’ll be missed.

There’s a #DonOLDsaur coming to the White House, His extinction is imminent. His power is waning, his best absurd days behind him. The hyenas are gathering at the smell of his rotting decline, nipping at his shanks. His gangrenous herd will devour him as they foul the land.
