Share: When the heavy doors shut at Fulcrum Arts—a small, unassuming building nestled between a Mexican restaurant and a demolition company—it might feel like being transported to another world. Through thick panes of rounded glass, the view of the city outside is distorted, and high quality insulation keeps the street noise at bay. A speaker plays a strange mix of layered static, crackling and popping. There are crystals everywhere. Specifically, they are borax crystals, and they are the unique medium of “Julie Tolentino: And Never …

The real fraud is in the White House, not Ilhan Omar’s house
Share: U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is just the newest victim of President Donald Trump’s relentless attack against citizens who don’t fit his ideas of what a ‘real American’ looks like. Homeland Security raiding Omar’s home, accusing her of committing immigration fraud and threatening to deport her not only reeks of this administration’s bias against immigrants but also of the Islamophobia that has plagued this nation for far too long. It is rare to see a Muslim, much less a Muslim woman, be put into any …

Whose pockets are Trump’s $5,000 checks coming out of?
Share: At Donald Trump’s rally in Tennessee, he reiterated his relentless $5,000 promise to Americans. This plan, involving giving money to American adults, depends on citizens voting to keep Congress Republican in the upcoming midterm election. Besides the moral qualms this proposal provokes, questions about the process and his ability to initiate this check have risen as well. Overall, Trump’s assurances have lost all value as he explicitly ignores the American people’s wishes and continues to prioritize his own political interests with corrupt guarantees. Today, …
