It’s not until the end of Shutter Island that the audience is truly disturbed. Those familiar with Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed thriller won’t easily forget the gut-punch of learning the backstory of our unstable protagonist: his wife killed their three children. An eerily similar horror is making waves from a US courtroom—except this time, women are rushing to the killer’s defense. Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother who strangled her three children, is the name on everyone’s tongue. Clancy doesn’t contest the facts; her defense doesn’t dispute that it was her own hands. It is not the fact of her actions, but…

A 26-year-old influencer recorded herself starting a kitchen fire, throwing dishes into the flames, and pouring hot wax on herself and her children. Perez Hilton, a notorious career gossip, took a blade to himself during a TikTok livestream. Individuals like these, and their followers, have shifted the public square online, causing an inversion of etiquette and moral norms. What the social fabric used to disavow—attention-seeking, irrationality, narcissism—is now anyone’s game. Push those to the end and you get a society that can’t distinguish virtue from vice—sure to crumble.

For decades, the Democratic Party positioned itself as the undisputed champion of the American working class. Today, that coalition is undergoing a profound structural fracture. Insurgent factions that once rode on the party’s coattails are now stepping into the driver’s seat, steering the party away from incremental reform and toward the removal of traditional Western systems. Abdul el Sayed is another hopeful nominee for the DSA after winning the 2026 August primaries in Michigan. Democrats have been giving radicals a seat at their table over the years, and are now forced to confront more like an infiltration than an alliance.…

Lindsey Clancy was prescribed thirteen medications by six different doctors when she murdered her three children and then attempted suicide. Clancy’s actions are her own, but behind the horror is a broader cautionary tale of industrial recklessness. Women are disproportionately prescribed SSRI medications with little consideration for reproductive harm, hormonal interactions, and adverse side effects. Each of the medications prescribed to Clancy by trusted white-coat “experts” has publicly cited downsides, including addiction, psychosis, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and increased depression and anxiety. As younger generations turn away from alcohol and substance use, substance use is being repackaged. Treating pharmaceuticals as a…

In the U.S., public debate often suffers from tunnel vision, treating global issues as uniquely American. While many Americans protest immigration controls, locals in Ceuta are actively demanding them. Dozens recently gathered outside the Moroccan embassy in Madrid to protest mass migration after 60,000 young men breached the border in one day. In response, Italy has prioritized national security by suspending Schengen rules with Spain and coordinating border controls with France. Italian officials blamed Spain’s socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, arguing that his relaxed immigration policies incentivized trafficking, causing the breach. As U.S. elections approach, American voters should look abroad.…

It’s been six years since the world shut down. Society seems to have moved on, with vaccination requirements dwindling and a growing desensitization toward social isolation. Dr. Anthony Fauci stepped back into the limelight this week, though not as gleefully as he did before. Appearing before the senate, the defamed scientist faced a reckoning after Senator Rand Paul released Fauci’s personal diary. Among the 1,110 pages written by a man basking in his own glory, critics have found indications that his public certainty was a carefully managed front rather than a reality. As Senator Paul and conservative media outlets quickly…

Therapy was once an elite luxury: expensive, lengthy, and largely inaccessible. That began to change in the late 20th century as talk shows, expanding insurance coverage, and a booming self-help industry pushed the topic of mental health into the mainstream. Decades of steady growth turned into a sprint during the COVID-19 pandemic as entire generations scrambled to navigate unprecedented global isolation. Like most modern tools, mental health care quickly went digital. Telehealth surged and social media feeds were suddenly flooded with psychologized terminology, mental health trends, and viral personal testimonies. Today, young adults are the most likely demographic to seek…

The latest edition of Jubilee’s viral series “Surrounded” featured the growing movement of young male empowerment. Among the wide range of self-proclaimed members was a “righteous anger” fueled by the belief that feminism is a systemic tool designed to disempower men. On the surface, the manosphere seems like the ultimate anti-feminist enemy of progress, yet its roots are drawn from the same soil that sowed third-wave feminism. Movements born in reaction to perceived disadvantage often develop similar habits of thought, even when they oppose one another. Just as women have found solidarity in shared experiences of sexism, young men have…

It is no secret that Gen Z values their freedom. Though liberty has always been an American trademark, the independence that Gen Z has zealously pursued is not one that our ancestors would recognize. Freedom was long cherished as a road to building a legacy, providing for a family, contributing to strong communities, and climbing up the economic ladder. In other words, independence was not a thing to be hoarded, but shared in pursuit of things greater than the self. Goals of marrying young, having children, and family loyalty have been swapped for complete self priority. Marriage is an obstacle…

“Politics” has become an umbrella term. What is meant by the “political” could range from moral convictions, pragmatic concerns, educational values, or religious beliefs. Perhaps the reason for partisan stand-offs is the use of politics as a stand-in for the existential—a distraction from questions we would rather not ask. Recent pro-life efforts have revived the abortion debate, advocating for policies that would criminalize the actions of the doctor performing the abortion and the woman receiving it. A series of less publicized choices have been brought to light, showing that what is characterized as a bitter political battle actually has very…
