Democrats Protest State of the Union Address
So the State of the Union address was earlier this week, and as many expected, it was torture. The longest address ever, clocking in at an hour and 48 minutes. Honestly, no one expected anything but lies to come out of Trump’s mouth, but what I didn’t expect was for it to last nearly 2 […]
It’s Time to Reclaim Red Hats
When I see red hats today, I really only think of one thing, one person. The MAGA community has had somewhat of a monopoly on red hats for the last few years. Many people who wear them do so as a show of support for Donald Trump. So anyone who didn’t want to be associated […]

Democrats Should Run on a Platform to Prosecute Current Government Officials
It is not surprising that many voters have lost confidence in our Democratic politicians, especially after what happened in the 2024 elections. Democrats who want their voter base to trust them need to run on a platform that actually holds political leaders accountable. There can be no more “forgive and move on”. That mentality is […]

What Does Showing Up Really Mean in 2025?
Alright, I’ll say it: most of us are not spending our weekends trying to understand government stuff or showing up at city hall with a sign. Some people are (and truly, good for them), but the rest of us are just doing our best — juggling life, laundry, and whatever disaster pops up in the […]
Trouble in Indonesia: A “1998” Moment, Redux?
So far, the smoke has cleared from the streets of Jakarta, Indonesia (ID) and other major cities but the embers of public anger still glow. The recent wave of nationwide protests, sparked by parliamentary perks and rising living costs, has subsided for now. Yet the echoes of 1998 are unmistakable, raising a profound question: Is […]

How Dribbling Became Art, Protest, and Persona
In today’s era of hypervisibility and cultural expression, the act of dribbling — once a technical necessity — has evolved into something far richer: art, protest and persona. It is no longer just a means to advance the ball. It’s a form of personal choreography, a message and for some, a manifesto. From Allen Iverson’s […]
Are We Becoming Desensitized to Political Violence?
Recent events are highlighting a disturbing fact: political violence is becoming much more frequent. From a deadly attack on lawmakers in Minnesota to arson threats in Texas and chaos in Washington, D.C., the headlines keep rolling in. But the American public seems…not surprised? Are we as a country becoming desensitized to political violence? On June […]
