How to Connect With Donors When the Economy Feels Hostile: Notes on Uncertainty, Generosity, and the Politics of Nonprofit Survival in 2026 The year 2026 arrives not as a marker of progress but as a reminder of the elasticity of crisis. Inflation has become a kind of national background noise—persistent, dull, and impossible to tune out. Economic forecasters talk about “cooling” in the cautious tone one uses to describe a fever that has lowered by a degree but still threatens what it inhabits. For nonprofits, especially those that survive on the thin membrane between donor optimism and donor fatigue, this is the landscape: ambient anxiety, deferred generosity, the ever-present suspicion that giving—once a gesture of civic participation—is now a luxury.

In the pre-conciliar era, Pope Benedict XV condemned the tenets of Communism in 1920 with Bonum Sane. In 1937, Bl. Pius XI explicitly condemned Communism with Divini Redemptoris. In 1949, under Ven. Pius XII, a dubia was issued on Communism.

Life sucks. It really does, but imagine not feeling anything at all. My biggest fear is unconsciousness, and not in the passing out way, in the way where you feel nothing, not pain, not joy or anger.

This is the new character that I’m going to use a replacement for Kyren and I love him a bunch more. I thought that since Kyren was way too bland and impatient, I would blend into something better and now I made a little ADHD royal dude >:3 This is going to be about Isadorian’s (and Thane’s but I haven’t got him yet) backstory! I’m sorry it took so long to put this out here but I’ve been very busy through school since I just had three tests and I had overwhelming amount of homework, but I finally got enough time to sit down and write so enjoy!

This content may be disturbing, yet true. The author questions the fairness of the US democracy, highlighting the absence of a female president and persistent barriers faced by women in politics.

News of the deus ex machina. First edition of "my daily thoughts". Here's hoping this doesn't just turn into a live journal that nobody can relate to.

Although independence isn’t explicitly included in curriculum standards, its role in student development is undeniable.

A review of "Russia and the Origins of the First World War" by D.C.B Lieven to examine the historical accuracy and potential bias.

The beginning of the end: Trump vs the judiciary. Two weeks into his term, Trump managed to strangle the Congress (at least for now) but it appears judges aren't so easily threatened. So we have two of the three branches "functioning".

There are many ways to protest against something in society. Going to rallies, boycotting, but I decided to do something different. I'm writing my protest, alongside other things. This is just another way to show my retribution towards our government in America.

I wrote “Comfort Is NOT a Right” because I feel like too many people in my generation are being taught to avoid discomfort instead of learning from it. Everywhere I look—especially online—it feels like people care more about staying comfortable than being honest. This piece is my way of pushing back against that idea. I wanted to remind people that real freedom means being okay with disagreement and uncomfortable conversations. Growth doesn’t come from silence; it comes from debate, challenge, and the courage to stand up for what you believe, even when it’s not popular.

In this post, I talk about something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately—the way patriotism is slowly fading, especially among young people. I wrote “The Anti-Patriotism Paradox” because I keep seeing how schools and media focus so much on America’s flaws that they forget to mention what makes this country great. I’m not saying America is perfect, but I think it’s important to remember our history, our freedoms, and the sacrifices that built this nation. This piece is my reminder that loving your country isn’t blind—it’s grateful.

America's drifting toward collectivism - and 2025's elections made it worse. from New York's socialism to California's chaos, big government's rising while freedom fades.

The shutdown isn’t about gridlock — it’s about leverage. Republicans voted 13 times to reopen the government, but Democrats refuse to budge. The math tells the truth the media won’t.

America is in crisis — protests, shutdowns, and corruption dominate the headlines. But chaos breeds opportunity. Here’s how Republicans can reclaim the mantle of leadership and chart a course toward liberty, accountability, and national renewal.
