Share: The city of Eagle Rock is where it all started for me. Living and growing up in a safe, close-knit community where the neighbors knew your name, all because you were a student attending schools in the Eagle Rock area. From attending preschool all the way up to high school in this suburb, Eagle Rock was my original stomping ground. After playing with my friend, Miranda, in the preschool’s playground on a beautiful, bright, and sunny day, my mother would pick me up from …
Death penalty push only fuels Luigi’s martyrdom
Share: In an unjust trial, Attorney General Pam Bondi decided to pursue the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, accused of the December 4, 2024, assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. With the law being so biased and strict, seemingly exclusively towards Mangione in an already flawed legal system, it almost seems as if they’re using him as an example to deter others from committing similar actions. It is unfair that Mangione allegedly shot one individual without attempting to harm others, but is treated as if …

Israel continues to play the hero while being the villain
Share: Over the weekend, Israel’s security cabinet voted to increase military options and approve an expansion of operations in Gaza. Since the October 7, 2023, attacks began, there are plans in motion now suggesting that there are plans for a ceasefire, to defeat Hamas in Gaza, and to rescue the hostages.

Mike Waltz shouldn’t be the only one to take the fall for Signal shenanigans
Share: Mike Waltz has been removed from his role as National Security Advisor on May 1, in what seems like a simple way to place the blame for the Signal shenanigans on one singular person, and someone other than Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary. Yes, Waltz did indeed create the Signal chat that included the Atlantic magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, but the blame shouldn’t be placed all on him. It was Hegseth who sent out official military information regarding airstrikes on the commercial messaging app, …
Trump’s visa reversal wasn’t justice, it was legal damage control
Share: The Trump administration recently revised its decision to terminate student visas for more than 1,500 international students in a rare retreat that reflects more on political pressure than it does on equity. Targeting many international students, many of whom had minor disputes with the law, the initial crackdown appeared to follow a wider trend of anti-immigration legislation. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unexpectedly revoked their status, even though the majority of them were lawfully in the country on F-1 visas. They were frequently …
