"I think my head's about to explode" is what I say to myself when something too grotesque, absurd, horrible, or insanely hypocritical is happening - and I think it's how many of us feel when witnessing injustice. In my podcast, to deconstruct that feeling, I talk about interconnected systems of oppression. Militarism, imperialism, colonialism, and several other -isms are inevitably there. My political commentary has been about Palestine since the beginning and is mostly on Gaza these days. You can read more about my projects here: http://www.justinaposkeviciute.com/

    Have You Witnessed Democratic Mechanisms Being Eroded on Live TV? Here's An Example

    If you watched the U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi contemptuously deflect questions about the Epstein files in a recent hearing, you might have had a strong reaction to it in your nervous system.I had it -- for two scary reasons, one of which can be explained by political science.That's what I talk about in my video.--Join me in our antifascist community on Substack:https://substack.com/@theexplodinghead#epstein #epsteinfiles #pambondi #trump

    From Palestine to The Epstein Files: Will You Demand Justice or Embrace Collective Amnesia?

    n addition to the more obvious parallels between Israel's destruction of Gaza, the violence described in the Epstein files, and Epstein's direct connection to Israel, there's yet another parallel I want to draw your attention to here: the one of collective amnesia. Or - it depends on us - the one of our continuous, active, and unwavering demands for justice. -- Join me in our antifascist community on Substack: https://substack.com/@theexplodinghead #epstein#epsteinfiles#Trump #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

  3. International Law is No More, Fascism is Here: How Will You Choose to Operate in This Reality?

    International Law is No More, Fascism is Here: How Will You Choose to Operate in This Reality?

    I think it can't be clearer that polite self-silencing, smallness, and not being unapologetically anti-fascist aren't serving us. Because even if you choose to engage with reality less, it remains the same: International law is left irrelevant because of our governments' bowing down to empires; fascism is on the rise globally (and very much present in the U.S); Israel is allowed to annihilate Gaza with complete impunity. The question is, how do you choose to show up in this reality? #AbolishICE #NicolasMaduro h#Venezuela #Trump #GazaGenocide

    A Visual Summary of What Our Governments Have Allowed Israel to Do to International Law

    As the year is ending, I wanted to comment on a video with you that I think is the perfect summary of what Israel has done - or what our spineless governments have allowed Israel to do - to international law in the most recent years.I also invite you to use that rage in 2026, too. ---Find all my work on Palestine on my website: www.justinaposkeviciute.com Find all my videos on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_exploding_head #Palestine #Gaza #FreePalestine #Israel #GazaGenocide

    How the European Broadcasting Union Just Gave Eurovision Fans an Opportunity to Show Some Spine (Thanks to Israel)

    In short, Israel will be allowed to compete at Eurovision this year. What it shows is nothing shocking: that there is nothing - morals, legal consequences, human rights of European citizens themselves - that is above Europe's desire to maintain its relationship with Israel. Interestingly, what this decision created is an opportunity for Eurovision fans to show if THEY have any spine. And if there's anything above their love for Eurovision itself.

  7. What Calling Israel's Continuation of Its Mass Murder a 'Fragile Ceasefire' Shows

    What Calling Israel's Continuation of Its Mass Murder a 'Fragile Ceasefire' Shows

    I think we've all had enough with a 'fragile ceasefire': a state in which Israel's crimes continue with impunity.In short, Israel's fascist regime can continue doing literally anything it wants -- and still control the narrative about what and who breaks a ceasefire.

  8. How Football Reminded Us about Two Parallel Worlds Recently

    How Football Reminded Us about Two Parallel Worlds Recently

    Two football games took place almost simultaneously recently. And my goodness, how clearly did they show that they were not just from different teams but from different worlds. In one, in Bilbao, tens of thousands of football fans showed solidarity with the people being oppressed and undergoing a genocide. In the second one, in Lithuania, a match was played with a team of an occupier, a genocidal fascist regime -- behind closed doors, to minimise the risk of disruptions. These two friendly matches, one with Palestine and one with Israel, represent two different worlds. They are also reminders that we all have a choice in which world we want to be actively contributing to.
