My commentary has always been independent.
I am not funded by any organisation, government body, or a defined group of individuals.
To have full editorial control over what I talk about as a political commentator is exactly why I started my project.
If you find value in my work, I invite you to follow me on social media (below) and, if you are willing and able, to support it financially.
The Exploding Head is a complete one-woman show, so any contribution you can make will go directly to support my political commentary.
The people dearest to me know that I love sending postcards (my mom has the largest collection that I started almost 20 years ago).
Now, I am offering to send a postcard to anyone who contributes $100 USD or more to my work. Just make a donation and send me (jposkeviciute[at]gmail.com) a mailing address where my card can reach you!
If you have a European bank account or can easily transfer money to such accounts, I invite you to make a transfer directly to my bank. Please leave The Exploding Head or another reference, and send me an email if you’d like me to thank you personally (which I would love to do!).

- A Must-Watch Interview on Palestinian Armed Resistance and Israel’s Iron Dome
This interview is an absolute must: Jeremy Scahill talks to Senator Ro Khanna about the U.S.’s continuous support for Israel and whether Palestinians, too, have the right to armed resistance. It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime. - On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged. - How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself? - On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe? - Where The Swings Between A Human-Centric and A Fascist Government Will Stop in Colombia
The results of the presidential elections in Colombia today will determine not only where the country is going, but whether the world will keep a loud anticolonial, anti-imperial, and antizionist government. - Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian Sumud in The Courts of The Occupier
As Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appeared via video in the Israeli Supreme Court, I invite you to name what we’re actually seeing: resistance against a fascist apartheid regime, enabled by our governments. - How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself. - An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience. - When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
