Charles Bursell Presents

America's unbridled fascism must be stopped. The problem: the only alternative offered is the outdated and exploitative "postwar rules-based order." There is a third option. www.charlesbursell.com

Old school imperialism, taking the lessons of Jan 6 forward, and a killing cold as ICE.   www.charlesbursell.com

Mamdani takes the oath and the reins, Regime racism and Israeli brutality continue unabated, and Venezuela marks a renewed U.S. hegemony. www.charlesbursell.com

Starting Thursday, January 1 st 2026, The Log will air daily 10-minute segments exclusively on Substack @charlesbursell. Not to worry, the twice weekly half-hour podcasts will continue as usual on all platforms. Happy New Year!  substack.com/@charlesbursell   

Looking back at 2025 and ahead to 2026 with a warning: It's more important than ever to jettison corporate news.  www.charlesbursell.com

A look at the many holidays around the globe from ancient traditions to modern takes on the winter party, including mischievous (even dark) characters, and irreverent (even subversive) customs of role-reversal and debt relief. Just what we need.    www.charlesbursell.com

Vanity Fair stands out among dismal Regime media. Murder week on the high seas, in Hollywood, an Australian beach, and a college campus. Medicare for all, and good elections news.   www.charlesbursell.com

It's campaign season again and Democrats are going to win big – for all the wrong reasons. Legacy media discovers mutual aid, recommended anarchist reading, and some good news: we're not dead yet!   www.charlesbursell.com

Abandoning Ukraine and Gaza, a looming U.S. State Media, SCOTUS builds a dictator, American democracy deemed "obstructed," and are YOU a terrorist?    www.charlesbursell.com

A monolog ue of political, cultural, and media criticism from a social-anarchist/abolitionist perspective. This episode: Person of the Year, political violence, The Regime's authoritarian-racist foreign doctrine, and more.    www.charlesbursell.com

MAGA has no doubt scored wins, but it's not particularly smart, it's not original, it's not even real. Also, thoughts on the DC shooter aftermath, Hegseth's debacles, and a tribute to the great Frank Skillman.    www.charlesbursell.com

Strikes and boycotts needed to bring down the Regime will require shared pain and sacrifice. Mutual Aid can not only protect us while we fight, but ultimately create a new model for when we win. And we can start right now.  www.charlesbursell.com

Don't give up on impeachment! There are (1) dozens of articles to choose from, (2) recent examples proving that public outcry still matters, and (3) several persuadable Congressional Republicans. www.charlesbursell.com

COP30 fails as the Climate Crisis continues unabated, The Orange Meat Puppet descends into madness, MTG chickens out, MAGA re-calculates, and Musk gets one thing right: the end of money.   www.charlesbursell.com

The lesson we must take from recent MAGA setbacks is pressure works so triple down. Also, thoughts at the close of COP30 and we love Miss Piggy!  www.charlesbursell.com

Every day is Taco Tariff Tuesday, COP30 stymied by old systems while the world burns, Whoville hawks Walmart, and the Epstein files buried under the guise of an active case.  www.charlesbursell.com

Americans are coming around to the economic blackout, impeachment, and challenging corporate Dems. Sure, they're bandwagon jumpers, that's okay! Also: Epstein, wag-the-dog wars, my take on the shutdown cave, and people don't fly.   www.charlesbursell.com

The cruelty and chaos of the Regime appear to be intentional. The good news: we have both the moral high ground and the numbers. All we need is the will to act.   www.charlesbursell.com

The Orange Meat Puppet's sociopathic response to that Oval Office medical emergency, war crime boat murders, the sandwich guy, what to do when bad people die, and other stories from our current tragic comedy, all set to goofy music.  www.charlesbursell.com

Enjoy the big election wins and then get right back to work: Push elected Democrats to progressive populism and thwart MAGA plots to rig the 2026 midterms.  www.charlesbursell.com

People are finally coming around to the realization that there's no going back to the world as we knew it. So, who should go up against Tucker Carlson in 2028, AOC or Jon Stewart? www.charlesbursell.com

When a salute is an insult, Stephen Miller's bigger, badder paramilitary, some media criticism, welcoming the Amazon robots, and how to defeat perpetual disaster capitalism. www.charlesbursell.com

Norms busted, rules ignored, and convoluted laws reverse-engineered to get away with murder – literally. We have the power to stop the madness. www.charlesbursell.com

From desecrating the People's House, to obscenely naked murders at sea, to vulgar rants and literal sh*t-posting, the Miller/Vought Regime is governing by sheer gall. We have to meet them with defiance and truth. www.charlesbursell.com

Our Grandparents risked their lives to fight the Fascists. Are you willing to cancel your Amazon subscription? We have to hit the oligarchs (and the Dems) where it hurts.   www.charlesbursell.com
