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.

Share: Imagine you’re at home with your family enjoying dinner. Then, all of a sudden, you look out the window and see 3 blacked-out, tinted Cadillac Escalades pull up on your lawn, and people piling out like a clown car. They break into your house, eat your dinner, then decide that your house is their house now, and you have to either leave, die, or be a slave to them.

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, …

It’s time for ‘Life of a Showgirl’ to take its final bow
Share: If Taylor Swift knows how to do anything, it’s making a hit song. “Life of a Show Girl”, Swift’s most recent album, is arguably her most controversial one, and not for reasons one might think. Despite topping the charts it is at the bottom of the ranks amongst ‘Swifties.’ This album falls into every trope Swift fans have been defending her for over a decade against. “Life of a Showgirl” is an album many hoped would be focused on how years of touring changed …
