Share: Although it has already been eight months into the ongoing war in Gaza, the condemnation of Netanyahu’s crimes against humanitarian laws by the international community proves that justice, reason, and empathy are still prevalent no matter how fickle. This wave of efforts into the humanization and deliverance of justice for the Palestinian population has been much anticipated and is honestly the bare minimum. Nevertheless, the world has now awakened and has all eyes on Gaza and the injustices inflicted on its people. In a …
Idiot kicker’s stupid speech echoes the NFL’s history with toxic masculinity
Share: Harrison Butker is quite possibly the nation’s biggest idiot. No sane human being would stand in front of a room of college educated people and deliver a speech like that. Any sort of platformed human with a brain would be able to predict the national shitstorm that they’d face when beginning their commencement speech speaking of “bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane.” It’s been all over the news. All of his mentions about how women should be exclusively focused on becoming “homemakers”, …
Surprise, surprise, another out-of-touch comedian is complaining about ‘P.C. crap’
Share: Has cancel culture gone too far? Jerry Seinfeld certainly thinks so. In a recent interview with the New Yorker, Seinfeld complained about the supposed lack of good, funny TV shows, claiming that, “This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” This incredibly redundant take is not only very untrue, but also very poorly backed up. It seems like every mediocre male comedian has been coming out of the woodwork recently to complain …
Time to walk now that you talked, Mayor Bass
Share: Mayor Karen Bass announced a new initiative that will rely on private donations to help provide homes for LA’s unhoused. While this sounds good, it’s unclear if this will be a step in the right direction. What else could be done for the unhoused crisis? On paper, it’s great seeing Mayor Bass have such ambition in announcing her plan considering how bad the homeless situation is. Proposing a new bill or adjusting the system for more benefits would honestly be a better solution than …
Get over yourself? In a democracy you have to earn people’s votes
Share: The Presidential elections are approaching for a close race in November 2024. The general election rematch that essentially no one asked for is inevitable between current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. These uninspiring choices and the elites’ failure to convince the electorate why a particular candidate will be a better president clearly indicate the current political climate. The elites, especially on the Democrat side, are telling voters to get over themselves, and those are the two choices. Really? Is that the …
Blinded followers turn Trump into a political martyr
Share: Donald Trump: a man currently facing at least 90 different charges against him, including several sexual assault accusations and a conviction of business fraud has turned the Republican party into his very own church. Turning his speeches into sermons and his campaign into a crusade, further dividing the country under the pretense of building a better nation. According to a New York Times article, “Mr.Trump’s ability to turn his supporters’ passion into piety is crucial to understanding how he remains the undisputed Republican leader …
The tradwife trend sends women back in time
Share: Tradwives are setting women back decades. They disguise themselves in a-line dresses, and post aesthetically satisfying TikTok videos of themselves cooking. To be a traditional wife is to be a woman whose life is completely centered around her husband and dedicated to caring for her family. It sounds innocent enough, but if you look past this you’ll see the truth, internal misogyny and adherence to outdated gender norms. Influencers such as Nara Smith, and Hannah Neeleman have been accused of spreading tradwife as well …
In attempts to censor press, LA City Attorney puts police before the public
Share: In a democracy, the government serves the people. But in Los Angeles, City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto seems to have a different idea. For Feldstein Soto, police interests come first and the public interest comes last. The City of Los Angeles has found itself embroiled in two lawsuits against Ben Camacho, a reporter for local news website Knock LA. His supposed crime? Obtaining over 9,000 LAPD personnel headshots through a lawful request under the California Public Records Act (CPRA). These headshots were provided by …
Antisemites must not be allowed to co-opt Gaza conversation
Share: As the movement for Palestinian liberation gains popular support around the globe, it becomes ever more imperative to keep that movement focused on peace and not retaliation. A complaint from the Anti-Defamation League against Berkeley Unified School District made news at the beginning of March, accusing district teachers of building an atmosphere of antisemitic bullying. Last week, the Courier reported on efforts by PCC clubs to support the BDS movement against Israel’s apartheid. In that story, we wrote that the ADL — which opposes …
McDaniel is out at NBC, but corporate media is all-in on killing democracy
Share: NBC News’s decision to sever ties with Ronna McDaniel, the former chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, might seem like a step towards journalistic integrity, but the truth is that corporate media remains as complicit in MAGA attacks on American democracy as ever. The hiring and sudden firing highlight the inherent tension between journalistic objectivity and the pursuit of profit. In an era marked by intense polarization and heightened political scrutiny, corporate media organizations often find themselves walking a tightrope between serving the public …
