Hasan Piker has built an enormous audience outside the traditional media system—but his influence goes far beyond Twitch.

He’s changing how political commentary is delivered, who gets to shape the conversation, and how younger audiences consume politics.

So what happens when an internet personality starts competing with the media establishment for attention?

Paramount may be threatening to leave California, but I don’t think California should respond with fear.

Yes, losing Paramount jobs and tax revenue would hurt. Workers shouldn’t be treated as collateral damage in corporate battles. But there is another way to look at this moment: an opportunity to build something new.

The Writers Guild of America has pushed back against Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison’s threat to leave California, arguing that Paramount’s enormous influence over the entertainment industry is precisely why its proposed merger deserves scrutiny.

And that’s the bigger issue.

For generations, companies like Paramount and The Washington Post became more than businesses. They became cultural institutions. But as ownership changed and media became increasingly concentrated in the hands of billionaires and massive corporations, many people have begun questioning whether these institutions still represent the legacy they once built.

You can’t buy public trust simply by buying the company that once had it.

So maybe California needs to stop asking, “How do we save Paramount?”

Maybe we should ask:

“Who will become the next Paramount?”

Paramount was once a new company. Every legendary media institution was once an idea that hadn’t yet proven itself.

California still has the writers, filmmakers, actors, journalists, engineers, artists and creators capable of building the next generation of media.

Let’s give them the opportunity.

Let’s invest in new studios.

Let’s support independent media.

Let’s build new streaming companies.

Let’s create new institutions capable of earning the trust that legacy companies are losing.

Paramount leaving California could be a loss.

But it could also create space.

The future of Hollywood doesn’t have to belong to yesterday’s giants.

The streaming crown is up for grabs.

Bye-bye, Paramount. Hello, who’s next?

The case is now headed through the courts.

What does this say about accountability in public office?

Why should ordinary citizens be watched, tracked, and monitored while the institutions that hold power operate behind closed doors?

A free society should demand accountability from those in power—not surrender privacy from everyone else.

I spent the entire movie thinking about how much I dislike the billionaire corporate machine surrounding Hollywood—and then suddenly I was an elementary school kid again, sneaking out during lunch to watch a new episode of Avatar.

The movie made me emotional, but mostly because it made me realize how badly I want an entire series about Aang and the others as adults. I wanted 24 episodes. I wanted three seasons. I wanted more.

I hate the empire. I love the Avatar.

For once, a policy that could stop people from taking on massive student debt for degrees that don’t lead to realistic job opportunities.

Not every career is worthless. But colleges shouldn’t be allowed to sell $100,000 dreams that leave people trapped in debt for decades.

Maybe this is one of the rare times when something Trump does is actually worth defending.

And I say that as someone who strongly opposes Trump.

But why should the federal government keep helping people borrow tens of thousands of dollars for college programs that consistently leave graduates with massive debt and no realistic path to earning enough to repay it?

The student takes on the debt.

The college gets paid.

The promised career never materializes.

And then the student spends decades working a job they never wanted just to repay the debt they took on to get a degree that was supposed to give them a better life.

That is not an education system. That’s a debt trap.

And no, this doesn’t mean teachers, social workers, artists, or other lower-paid professionals are worthless.

It means we should stop pretending that a $100,000 degree is automatically a good financial investment.

Colleges should be required to show students the actual financial outcomes of their programs before those students borrow life-changing amounts of money.

So here’s my question:

Should taxpayers keep financing degrees that consistently leave graduates worse off financially?

He has already served two.

The Constitution says a person cannot be elected president more than twice.

So why are we treating the idea of a third Trump term like a normal political possibility?

At 80, Trump is once again pushing the boundaries of what he can legally do—and the public should not be expected to simply laugh it off, debate it endlessly, or “wait and see.”

A third presidential term is unconstitutional.

Power has limits. Presidents have limits. The Constitution has limits.

Stop normalizing the idea that one man is above them.
