Share: PCC has a remodeling plan called the Facilities Master Plan, which reveals all of the new buildings and renovations for the upcoming years. However, this so-called master plan neglected the parking issues that may arise with the many remodeling plans. The plan includes a new cafe, student services, annex, health and sciences, and academic/CTE buildings as well as renovations to multiple other structures. Along with these new buildings, expanded and new programs will be added, such as an expansion to the dental program, a …
Trump’s Easter ‘truths’ make him older but never wiser
Share: This year on Easter morning, President Donald Trump proceeded to open Truth Social, his social media platform, from which he posts multiple times a day, and shared a nonsensical tirade including a threat to Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz. The post was insane, just like the rest of his posts have been, and left a question on whether this is just the level Trump has always been or if he is deteriorating. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and …
Criminals don’t deserve the spotlight, their exposers do
Share: Miami Herald journalist Julie K. Brown published a book called “Perversion of Justice” in 2021, recounting her difficult and ruthless investigation in 2018 that finally brought sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s operation to light and exposed the power of corruption that had sheltered his crimes. Now Brown’s book is being adapted into a limited television series by Sony Pictures that follows Brown, played by Laura Dern, and explores her journey in investigative reporting and how she managed to take down the financier. With the amount …
Close stores and give workers a holiday too
Share: When I was a kid, stores weren’t open on holidays. When preparing for a holiday, people would buy everything before the holiday, or they would go without. I remember a time in particular at my aunt’s house. She and my mom were getting dinner ready, but they realized they were missing an ingredient. We went out in search of any store that might be open, but came back empty-handed. They substituted it and moved on. Dinner was just as good without it proving stores …
The euphoria has worn off
Share: In a sudden announcement, artist Labrinth said he is quitting Euphoria, a mere month before the season drops. Labrinth is genuinely done with the industry and the series. The announcement brings another devastating blow to the show as the cast reels from the recent passings of co-stars Angus Cloud in 2023 and Eric Dane this past February. As well as the unexplained exit of other stars, such as Barbie Ferreira, left unsettling feelings. Given all these recent heavy situations, it came as no surprise …
The farmworkers movement was always bigger than him
Share: When the news broke about Cesar Chavez, I felt angry, sad, and betrayed. A Mexican “hero”, was just another scummy fallen idol. I began learning in middle school about Mexican American history in the United States, and the National Farm Workers Association movement led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. It showed me something I hadn’t seen before: people like me not just surviving the world, but shaping it. Growing up as a Mexican American in predominantly working-class Latin American neighborhoods, the importance of …
The worst thing a woman can be is ‘mean’
Share: Fabricated beef between an 11-year-old, a Brazilian soccer player, and a security guard is the newest smear campaign tactic added to Chappell Roan’s extensive portfolio of controversies, garnered since her rise to fame. In what seems to be a never-ending battle between the singer, the press, and the fans, Roan has given everyone mixed feelings. For all the trivial and entertaining reasons, it’s clear that people love to hate on her for her confrontational and standoffish attitude. When a woman is allegedly rude to …
A big beautiful round of applause for Trump’s aviation impact
Share: An audio was recently released of the Air Traffic Controller, involved in the Air Canada jet collision, in sheer panic and guilt after attempting to reach the cockpit and the fire truck before the deadly disaster at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York. While spectators were quick to point fingers and completely blame the traffic controller for not reacting fast enough, it wasn’t his fault for doing what he could with limited staff in the control tower. The lack of staffing that night sadly …
Trump’s low gas price promise is running on fumes
Share: As gas prices continue to soar to absurd amounts, a false promise made during the 2024 election cycle is inevitably being broken. That promise came from the Trump administration, which declared that if elected, it would lower prices. Well, Trump has done the complete opposite, getting involved in a war that America should not have gotten involved with. This contributed to the outrageous spike in gas prices to an average of $4 nationally while California has surpassed $6 per gallon, according to AAA Gas …
Trump’s endorsement of Jake Paul continues America’s circus
Share: Donald Trump endorsed YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at a rally that leaned more towards amusement than professionalism. The announcement was confusing, as throughout Paul’s many careers, he’d never mentioned becoming a political figure, yet his history of attention-seeking doesn’t make his political turn a surprise. The spectacle was highlighted by Trump’s focus on Paul’s boxing career rather than explaining why he received an endorsement. It reflects a bigger shift in politics, now being viewed more as entertainment rather than improving the country. This administration is …
