As we stand on the cusp of a new year — 2025 — I can’t help but feel like we’re waking up in a nightmare that’s all too familiar. The political landscape has shifted in ways we never thought possible, and if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering how we got back here. The bigotry, the censorship, the moral panic — it’s all back in full swing, with the added bonus of a government that’s been given a free pass to trample over our rights.
Donald Trump has won re-election, the Conservatives now dominate every branch of government, and Project 2025 — the right-wing blueprint to reshape America into their vision of moral purity and control — is no longer some far-off threat. It’s a reality. The Supreme Court, packed with Trump-appointed judges, has granted the President the one thing he’s always wanted: immunity from prosecution. Meanwhile, our freedoms, especially those of women, minorities, and anyone who dares to question the status quo, are hanging by a thread.
For those of us in the adult entertainment industry, things are looking grim. In states like Texas and Florida, sex workers and online adult content creators are being treated like criminals. Pornhub has shut itself down in both states because of draconian age verification laws that make it impossible to operate. The government, in its never-ending crusade to “protect children” from the evils of sexual expression, has used us as the scapegoats to push forward a dangerous agenda that jeopardizes the very essence of free speech. And it doesn’t stop there. Censorship is on the rise, with every word we speak and every image we create now under the microscope of a government that believes it can control what we see, hear, and say.
So much for the party of less government.
But here’s the thing: SCREW isn’t going anywhere. We’ve fought for freedom of expression before, and we’ll keep fighting for it now. If anything, the battle is more urgent than ever. So, as we look ahead to 2025, I want to make one thing perfectly clear: SCREW is here to stay, and we’re doubling down on our mission to champion the ideals of free speech, personal liberty, and the right to do whatever the hell we want with our bodies and minds.
For those who may be wondering what SCREW will be offering in this new, darker era, let me break it down for you:
SCREW NATION – Political Revolution, or Destruction?
With the Conservative stranglehold on power now more entrenched than ever, we’re diving headfirst into the political battles of our time. In this department, we’ll expose the right-wing war on free speech, women’s rights, and everything else that the radical conservatives want to take from us. From Trump’s latest power grabs to the unholy alliance between Christian zealots and big business, we’re giving you the unvarnished truth about what’s happening in America — and how it’s affecting the rest of the world. Buckle up, because the fight for our freedoms is about to get a lot messier.
DIRTY MONEY – Corporations, Profits, and the Exploitation of the People
In 2025, if you’re not paying attention to how the world’s wealthiest corporations are screwing the average person, you’re doing it wrong. From Big Pharma’s latest money grab to tech giants eroding our privacy and dictating our daily lives, this section will expose the ugly truth behind the corporate world’s profiteering. We’ll follow the money, and we’ll make sure you know exactly who’s getting rich while the rest of us suffer. The stakes are high, and as the conservatives work to consolidate power, the true cost of their greed is becoming even clearer.
SACRED SIN – Religion, Power, and the Right’s Morality Crusade
Don’t kid yourself: the right-wing agenda isn’t just political; it’s religious. In 2025, the religious right has never been more powerful, and they’re using their influence to dictate not only what we say, but what we think, who we love, and how we live our lives. From the forced reversal of Roe v. Wade to the growing push for Christian nationalism, this department will shine a light on the intersection of religion and politics, showing you how the conservative playbook is leveraging God to impose their twisted vision of the world.
VICE SQUAD – The War on Vice, Crime, and the Underground
If you thought the government was going to back off from its war on vice, think again. From drugs to sex work, everything that falls under the “vice” category is now under attack by the powers that be. In VICE SQUAD, we’ll expose the crackdown on those who dare to live outside of mainstream society. We’ll dive into true crime stories, drug laws, and the black-market economy that continues to thrive under the radar. The government can try to suppress us, but we’re not backing down.
CARNAL CULTURE – Sex, Identity, and the Changing Landscape of Desire
Sex and identity are no longer just personal matters — they’re political. And in this department, we’re going to take a closer look at how the current political climate is affecting everything from the legal status of sex work to the rise of new sexual identities and subcultures. The government may try to outlaw pornography and control how we express ourselves sexually, but we’re going to continue challenging those boundaries. Free expression is our right, and we’re not going to let anyone tell us otherwise.
THE GRIND – The Hustle, The Struggle, and the American Dream
In this section, we’ll be digging deep into the realities of the modern-day grind. As the government stacks the deck against the average person, we’ll be telling the stories of those who are trying to survive in a world stacked against them. Whether you’re an entrepreneur trying to make it in a cutthroat economy or a worker stuck in the endless loop of wage slavery, THE GRIND is where we talk about the real-life struggles of the everyman — and what needs to be done to break free.
REVIEWS – Films, Shows, and Media That Speak Truth to Power
Finally, we bring back the SCREW PeterMeter, the measure of how films, shows, and media stack up when it comes to challenging authority and pushing boundaries. In a time when censorship is at an all-time high, we’re going to keep shining a light on the films, documentaries, and media that challenge the status quo, tell the truth, and make sure the establishment’s lies are exposed for all to see.
So, as we step into 2025, I want you to remember this: SCREW isn’t just a publication. We’re a movement. A movement that stands for freedom of expression, sexual liberation, and the right to challenge every authority that seeks to silence us. We’ve fought for these rights before, and we’re damn sure going to keep fighting for them now.
The battle isn’t over. It’s just begun. And in the spirit of SCREW, we will always fight back against the forces that want to take our freedoms away. Stay with us. This is only the beginning.
