i’m sure the Swifties will come for me but i’m at least i’m honest—Taylor’s “The Life of a Showgirl” kept me wondering: where is the show, girl?

The flags are at half-mast, but for who? Charlie Kirk is dead, but his death says more about who we mourn—and who we don’t—than anything else.

re-upping this piece of mine from when the election happened and this was a lot of the discourse. Joe Rogans only work on the right, the left needs something different—and it already has it.

after crowley’s win, i’m thinking about this piece I wrote about two months ago and why Black and lower-income voters continue to vote for the establishment candidate and disregard these leftist politicians that would be UNDOUBTEDLY better for their lives.

in honor of pride month, and world pride happening in DC soon, I wrote about what this moment really means against a backdrop of anti-LGBTQ legislation.

🔗 open.substack.com/pub/thevilla...
Quote from my Substack piece that reads: “World Pride in D.C. isn’t just symbolic—it’s a stress test. Can a city embody both the global spectacle of queer celebration and the sobering reality of national retrenchment? Can we build real civic trust out of performative allyship? Can local governments be more than just staging grounds for federal backlash?”

Zohran Mamdani just beat Cuomo and made history in NYC. But instead of celebrating, establishment Dems are fuming. Why does the party hate when the people win?

libbed up Americans took to the street yesterday for the “No Kings” protest—and while that liberalism is good now, I explain why it’ll be deadly in the future.

we must transform liberalism into real progressive change!

🔗: open.substack.com/pub/thevilla...
Quote from my substack article that reads: This is the liberal cycle: panic, protest, vote blue, disappear. Not because people are apathetic—but because liberalism has trained its base to measure success by feelings, not outcomes. It doesn’t kill loudly. It kills through quiet neglect.
