Welcome to The Nomadistan People’s News – your most trusted source of truth as approved by the Ministry of Glorious Messaging and Supervised Reality. Here in the internationally unrecognized but spiritually undeniable nation-state of Nomadistan, we’ve done the unthinkable: we’ve taken the world’s worst ideas—borders, billionaires, bureaucrats—and done our best to improve on them using only optimism, satire, and recycled propaganda posters.

The Great American Healthcare “SQUID GAMES” 19.07.2025

What if your life depended on an event not happening—and no one told you when it did?

ICE ICE BABY! - America’s Deepest Shame 14.07.2025

A Nomadistani Editorial: National borders are outdated tools being used to justify inhumane policies. Birthright citizenship, once a core American promise, is under attack—while agencies like ICE operate with increasing impunity. In Nomadistan, we imagine a different way: a community not defined by lines but by values.

Elon's "AMERICA PARTY"? - Why Not Mars? 09.07.2025

Elon Musk just launched a political party—because of course he did. In this satirical deep dive from The Nomadistan People’s News, we unpack the wild, weird, and wonderfully chaotic debut of the so-called America Party, complete with Twitter polls, pro-baby incentives, and AI overlords. Is this the future of democracy or just another tech billionaire fever dream? Either way, the main question rema...

The BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL - It’s Not Just Public Land Grabs 08.07.2025

VACCINES and CONSPIRACY HAWKERS - Nomadistan Investigates 28.06.2025

What’s Worse - LGBTQ+ or Women Driving Cars While Having Opinions? 24.06.2025

What happens when love, logic, and glitter crash headfirst into centuries of sanctimony? Join us in the borderless Republic of Nomadistan for the 17th Annual Festival of “Wait, That Bothers You?”—a celebration of everything that certain governments fear: public affection, pronouns, women with PhDs, and the occasional goat in a rainbow vest. This episode blends satire, sincerity, and sandalwood to...

No One's Safe. You’re Probably Next. 16.06.2025

You only need one drum and a clever sign to terrify an insecure government. What happens when a nation builds walls—not around borders, but around thoughts? In this satirical Nomadistani dispatch, we take a sharply humorous look at what happens when protest becomes a crime, sameness becomes law, and mirrors become contraband. If you've ever wondered what vanilla ice cream has to do with author...

TRICKLE ECONOMICS: A Love Story Gone Wrong? 07.06.2025

What happens when a nation puts its faith in a golden pipe and waits for wealth to drip? In this satirical dispatch from Nomadistan, we explore the tragic romance of trickle-down economics—complete with shrines, choirs, and absolutely no flour. It’s a love story. Just not a happy one. Ah! The pipe! Oh how we remember the pipe … https://nomadistannews.substack.com/p/the-pipe-that-never-trickledOFFI...

How To Tell if YOU'RE IN A CULT (and how to leave) 07.06.2025

Have you ever shouted at a barista in defense of freedom? Do you feel strangely loyal to a man in a trucker hat who sells miracle supplements and vague outrage? You might be in a cult — and not even the fun fur-robe-wearing kind. In this important (and only slightly heretical) broadcast from the Nomadistan People’s News, we explore the telltale signs of accidental indoctrination — and offer a gent...

THE GREATEST IMMIGRATION DOCUMENT EVER WRITTEN (Probably) 07.06.2025

Welcome to Nomadistan, where borders are imaginary and belonging is real. In today’s dispatch from our gloriously underfunded Department of Human Trust and Dotted Lines, we address the world’s most overcomplicated issue with our simplest policy yet: be human, be decent, welcome home. While other nations weaponize paperwork and monetize pain, we figured there was a better way. One involving warm fo...
