I started writing again after 25 years. Music first, because I missed it. First I'm reviewing 20 records I loved in the first half of 2025. Turns out once you start, it’s hard to stop. Coming up: photo breakdowns, conversation, critiques, ethics of the gaze. All free: nikolatamindzic.substack.com

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are directly implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

In response, the United States must stop all military assistance to Israel.

There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.

If Trump ends the contempt power of judges with his “big, beautiful bill,” no one will be able to stop him.

A future Congress would need the power of the courts to enforce their investigations, subpoenas, and laws.

It would be the end of American democracy.

This is horrifyingly correct.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Mrs. Betty Bowers (@mrsbettybowers .bsky.social). The post reads: "I learned this week that you can put our troops’ lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn’t like, you will be abducted on the street and disappear."

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.
