I Hate The News
Today’s issue is about the trick of the age: power calling harm “procedure.”
Stonewall. The Census. Tennessee book censorship. Hollywood consolidation. The WNBA money shift.
Black press eyes. No narcotics. Read it, then act accordingly open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
Maybe this country isn’t addicted to love. Maybe it’s addicted to hate, especially the kind that puts on a suit and calls itself normal politics. That is the idea behind ATH Intelligence Report, my new daily brief. Today’s report is www.xplisset.com/p/ath-intell...
A downed jet. A rescue mission. A fired general. And Washington still wants the public to believe this is under control.
I wrote about who pays when spin outruns reality. www.xplisset.com/p/breaking-d...
I saw the headline on a Saturday night and got that old sick feeling. “Weeks of ground operations in Iran” does not just appear out of nowhere. That is mission creep in a suit, weekend-dumped and politely renamed.
If you lived through Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan,

Young Republicans are praising Hitler, and too much of the press is covering it like this is just an awkward family disagreement instead of moral rot. I wrote about the GOP’s addiction to hate, the soft-focus language helping normalize it. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
Blackout Daily Brief for 3-25-26 is out ya’ll. See the news they’re trying to bury. www.xplisset.com/p/blackout-b...
The 82nd Airborne is being readied for the Middle East. Oil is jumping. The legal language is widening. Another war is trying to enter the house quietly. Read this before silence becomes consent. substack.com/@xplisset/no...
Everybody saw the spectacle. I wrote about what got buried under it: Iran market manipulation claims, a California sheriff seizing 650,000 ballots, and a Georgia abortion case cracking under scrutiny. New Blackout Brief is up. Read it. Subscribe if you can. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
I thought I’d opened an old tab. Turns out The Washington Post just knows how to make a whole war feel like a layout decision. New essay incoming: “I Hate How Good The Washington Post Is at This Shit.” Network meets Chaka Khan. Legacy media autopsied.

They told you there would be no boots on the ground. So why is a 4,500-service-member package heading to the Middle East? This is how “limited” wars lie to the public one step at a time. New piece on the escalation trap nobody wants to name.

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide.
From muscle cars to Vietnam to AI and the Iran war, America keeps falling for the same seduction: power feels like control…until it doesn’t.
Horsepower. Firepower. Compute power. Same story.

“No imminent threat.” Those four words just blew a hole in the Iran war narrative. Joe Kent resigned. Rubio already made the story wobble. I followed the contradiction all the way down. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
When the receipts behind a war are paywalled, the public does not get informed. It gets managed. WSJ put the why behind Trump and the Strait of Hormuz behind glass. I wrote about what that gatekeeping means for the rest of us. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
New Blackout Brief Daily: Kharg Island, 2,500 Marines, the CFPB, anti-Muslim rhetoric, trans protections, HIV meds, Black maternal health. When page one chases power, these are the people it leaves behind. Read, retweet, and support indie journalism: www.xplisset.com/p/blackout-b...
You don’t have to burn books to bury Black history. My new post is about how DOGE used a keyword list, a chatbot prompt, and the language of “efficiency” to flag Black history as a problem. Read it before they call it a misunderstanding. Bye.

Nothing to see here. Just a Republican on Fox admitting the federal government told New Mexico to stop investigating Epstein’s ranch in 2019. I wrote the full piece on what Comer admitted, and what Trump’s DOJ did with the years it bought. www.xplisset.com/p/breaking-r...
Don’t read this if you still think the war is “over there.” While everybody watches Iran, the real damage is already moving through gas prices, TSA lines, voting restrictions, federal pressure campaigns, LBGTQ attacks buried . Today’s Blackout Brief is up. www.xplisset.com/p/blackout-b...
BREAKING: CENTCOM confirms 3 U.S. service members killed in Operation Epic Fury; 5 seriously wounded. “Three coffins, zero clarity” no location/unit/details yet as next-of-kin notified. Developing: www.xplisset.com/subscribe

BREAKING: U.S. + Israel hit Iran. Trump just called it “major combat operations” and told Iran’s forces to surrender. That’s not a raid, that’s a campaign. Next 72 hours: retaliation, U.S. bases, Hormuz, oil shock. Full breakdown: www.xplisset.com/p/breaking-u...
I wrote this at 3:00am in hell. Truth gets you heat. Lies get you heaven. The SOTU proved it: Tim Scott clapped and got treated like air. Al Green, Omar, Tlaib spoke up and got shouted down. Make America America again = make “equal” mean something.

Don’t read this.
Because once you do, you’ll start seeing how Substack is quietly turning “writers + readers” into “creators + watchers”…and you won’t be able to unsee it.
Substack’s CEO interviews his CTO and the truth slips out.

Where are you? Are you ok? I loved the torture video.” Jayapal read it out loud. Then: “Please know for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.” Bondi still wouldn’t apologize. Full write-up with transcript excerpts here:

Friday’s when serious stories get buried under weekend brain. Then Trump pushed that racist Obama-as-a-monkey/ape meme. So I looked into the newly released Epstein emails. This isn’t just “a predator.” It’s ideology, networks, and money trails. Read. Share. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
Don Lemon arrested by federal agents. Not “cancelled.” Arrested.
If cameras and questions can be reframed as “conspiracy,” the First Amendment isn’t a right, it’s a permission slip.
I broke down the confirmed facts + DOJ theory.

A forensic read of the “Dear White People” controversy tied to Renée Good: who amplified it, why it spread, and how Ohun Ashe’s essay reframed the moment around power, race, and accountability. www.xplisset.com/p/dear-white...
They don’t want protectors. They want wolves with badges.
When male rage gets a badge, women pay the price.
If that doesn’t scare you, it should.

BREAKING: Pentagon puts 1,500 11th Airborne troops on standby for possible Minneapolis deployment. Insurrection Act is now being openly discussed. If the threat turns into orders, the country changes overnight. Full update: substack.com/@xplisset/no...
Federal judge in MN just drew a bright line: ICE/DHS can’t retaliate vs peaceful protest or do “fishing” traffic stops w/out suspicion of forcible obstruction. This is a win. Full receipts + breakdown: substack.com/@xplisset/no...
Yeah, I know: another “legal” essay. But this one is really about symbols. The Insurrection Act is being waved over Minneapolis, and the same image that once meant protection is being flipped into intimidation. Here we go again. open.substack.com/pub/xplisset...
They say “if it bleeds it leads.” Renée Good bleeds, and somehow the front page keeps blinking like it’s tired. I audited who followed through and who did the one-day drive-by. The pattern is loud.
