If you only have a few minutes today, please understand this: what looks like a dozen unrelated headlines — a radical new teachers' union boss in Massachusetts, a CISA cybersecurity disaster on GitHub, a DOJ lawsuit from Joe Biden, a viral eighth-grade graduation speech, BlackRock pushing AI into every classroom — is one story. It is a long-game assault on the American mind, and the target is our children.
We are in irregular warfare. The sooner we name it, the sooner we can fight back.
The teachers' union is no longer pretending
The incoming head of the Massachusetts Teachers Association is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America. She teaches, and is putting into curriculum, that the United States is a "fascist oligarchy," that borders are "colonizers," and that Israel is genocidal. She is aligned with Educators for a Democratic Union (a name that rhymes with the Weather Underground for a reason), the Social Justice and Solidarity Fund, and the National Education Association — Becky Pringle's organization.
Above her sits Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers, who has published a manifesto her own publisher called "the manifesto of our time." It is titled Why Fascists Fear Teachers. The Freedom Foundation has documented that the AFT paid progressive activist Sally Kohn four hundred thousand dollars while the book was being written. Working teachers' union dues — four hundred thousand dollars of them — channeled into a political activist co-writing fee for an anti-Trump, anti-America book that is now being marketed as a blueprint for "fighting fascism in schools."
This is cradle to grave. That is the phrase to remember. They are replacing parents. They did it in Mao's China. They did it in Hitler's youth. The packaging is friendlier in 2026. The architecture is the same.
Gen Z's cognitive collapse is measurable
If you think any of this is overblown, sit with what Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath — a former teacher and cognitive neuroscientist who, by his own statement, has never taken a dollar of Big Tech funding — is reporting in the data.
Since the late 1800s, every American generation has outperformed its parents on every standardized cognitive measure: attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, general IQ. Each generation, sharper than the last. The mechanism, he says, was school. Until Gen Z. Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure, despite spending more time in school than we did.
Why? Across eighty countries of data, the answer is the technology inside the classroom. Kids who use computers about five hours per day for school score over two-thirds of a standard deviation lower than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. That is not a rounding error. That is a hollowing-out.
Now add Obama's 2014 critical-theory rewrite of classroom discipline. Add Common Core. Add the holistic admissions push that has gutted MCAT and GPA floors at elite medical schools — Yale Medical School was just found by the DOJ to have racially discriminated in admissions; UCLA Medical School is being sued over compelled DEI and CRT coursework. Add the American Bar Association pumping law schools full of "living document" anti-constitutionalism and novel legal theory. Add Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock and head of the World Economic Forum, openly saying AI will do the thinking for the next generation of doctors and lawyers.
That is not education. That is, as Hannah Arendt warned in The Banality of Evil, the deliberate cultivation of people who do not think at all about what they are doing. By design.
CISA, the GitHub leak, and 2026
While they are hollowing out the minds of our children, they are hollowing out the integrity of our elections.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency — CISA — is the federal agency charged with protecting election infrastructure. Voter registration databases, voting systems, polling infrastructure. On November 13, 2025, a CISA contractor created a private GitHub repository. It remained public, on the open internet, for six months — until May 15, 2026. Eight hundred and forty-four megabytes. Plain-text passwords. High-privilege government cloud administrator credentials. SSH keys. Authentication tokens. Entra ID and SAML certificates. Internal system access details. The digital keys to the agency in charge of election security, sitting in the open, where any foreign national or irregular warfare actor could grab them.
Almost nobody is reporting this. After CISA's negligence on this scale, there is no honest case left for running 2026 midterms on machines. We have to count ballots by hand, on site, in real time, with bipartisan oversight. People all over the world do it. We used to do it. We can do it again.
And in case anyone doubts whether the political class even wants clean elections: at the start of this administration, every state was asked to share its voter rolls so DHS could scrub them against the file of known illegal aliens. Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused. They sued the federal government to stop the cleanup of non-citizens, dead voters, felons, out-of-state voters, double and triple registrations. They want the fraud. Stephen Miller said it on camera. They need it. Twenty million illegal aliens were brought in under Biden, and that is the permanent majority they intend to mint.
Lawfare, the Autopen Mafia, and Arctic Frost
Donald Trump had no classified documents. He declassified them. The Biden administration — the Autopen Mafia — reclassified those documents and shipped them to Mar-a-Lago to manufacture the predicate for an illegal raid I believe will end up being a criminal case. Arctic Frost, the dragnet that Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, and Lisa Monaco signed off on, appears to have spied on millions of Americans through contractors and third parties. If treason and sedition are no longer criminal in America, then what is America?
Joe Biden is now suing the Department of Justice to block the release of audio from his biographer's interviews. Whatever is on those tapes, he does not want you to hear it. The biographer's literary agent has been reported to have intelligence-community ties — which should surprise no one.
This is the same lawfare playbook Obama and NATO used to overthrow the duly elected president of Ukraine in 2014, when, as Victoria Nuland has admitted, the United States seized control of Ukraine's military, judicial system, financial system, training apparatus, intelligence services, and biological research labs. Norm Eisen, the 65 Project, Mark Elias, the Brookings lawfare institute, the Brennan Center, the American Bar Association's action committee — all of it Soros-funded, all of it pulling from the same playbook. Florida, to its credit, is fighting back against CARE's lawfare campaign against the No Sharia caucus.
We are in irregular warfare. Peter Schweizer has been laying this out. Victor Davis Hanson has been laying this out. Too many Americans still do not understand that the crimes are against us.
What we the people do now
The Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party. It has been overtaken by the Democratic Socialists of America, the People's Party for Liberation and Socialism, the actual Communist Party, and Progressive International — the network that just held a summit in Spain whose host was raided by Spanish authorities the next day. Tim Walz attended. Hillary Clinton attended. Mamdani attended. Chris Murphy attended. They are openly promising to "fight in the streets" if they cannot win at the ballot box. Summer of Love 2.0. They are telling us. Believe them.
So here is what we do.
- Take your kids out of the system if you can. Homeschool. That is why the blue states are racing to outlaw homeschooling — it is the last firewall.
- Demand paper ballots, hand counted, in 2026. Make it the price of admission for every candidate. CISA's negligence is the gift that lets us reset.
- Watch your local races. Hundreds of millions of dollars are pouring into city council, school board, and small-town mayor's races. That is where the takeover happens.
- Read the documents yourself. The UN Migration Pact. Yuri Bezmenov. Hannah Arendt. Victor Davis Hanson. Peter Schweizer. Stop outsourcing your thinking. That is what they are counting on most of all.
We are the inheritors of the freest society human beings have ever built — the one Milton Friedman described, where individuals have the maximum freedom to pursue their own objectives under a limited government devoted to defense, justice, and the rule of law. It stays ours only if we wake up the people around us and refuse to consent to one more day of this.

God bless you. God bless this country. We have work to do.
