Trump talks drapes while bombs drop in Iran
Share: As Americans, it might be expected to feel distant or even feel presumptuous to speak about violence unfolding thousands of miles away in the Middle East. However, civilian death demands criticism regardless of nationality. The deliberate taking of human life is always worthy of objection–of outright detestation—especially when it involves innocent children.

People BAFTA learn about intersectionality
Share: “Bro, I can say the word. I have the pass.” Many of us Black people have heard some variation of this phrase when people try to justify their use of the n-word. If not that, non-Black people will claim they’re Black when they use the word. Other common deceptions include masking the n-word as the Chinese nèi ge/nà ge or the Korean you. These examples don’t even account for the blatant use of Black slurs. Unsurprisingly, experiences like these have fostered distrust in Black …
Propaganda so bad it’ll put you to sleep: The ‘Melania’ movie

Boycotting the State of the Union puts Democrats in an even worse state
Share: As a form of retaliation, a considerable number of elected Democratic lawmakers will be boycotting Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term. Instead, they will be attending a rally in the National Mall, run by the left-wing advocacy groups MeidasTouch and MoveOn. However, this act of peaceful protest feels detrimental and troubling. The boycott will not accomplish anything; it will only add fuel to the fire of President Trump’s bombardment on the Democratic Party. Democratic congress members have apparently made …
