Politicians Need to Stop Being Influencers
In the age of TikTok soundbites and Instagram-perfect campaigns, politics has become more of a performance and less about actual governance. Some elected officials prioritize viral moments over policy, crafting their public personas like influencers rather than helping the people improve democracy. Politics is supposed to be about policies, governance, and public service, yet nowadays, […]
Voter Suppression is Getting Smarter—Are We?
In U.S. history, voter oppression has been any legal or extralegal measure to reduce voting or registration by members of a targeted racial group, political party, or religious community.

Op-Ed: Why X is the Worst Platform for Politics
X might be the worst hub for political disclosure in terms of social media platforms.

By that, I mean that instead of fostering informed debate, X just amplifies misinformation and justifies false claims. […]
Op-Ed: Why I’m On the Fence about Book-to-Movie Adaptations
It’s always fun to watch a movie adaptation of a book you’ve read before and compare it to what you had imagined while originally reading. Sometimes, a movie elevates what I imagined, but not all books need a movie adaptation. A well-done adaptation can bring your vivid imagination to life. Seeing the Harry Potter series […]
What is AHS Style, and Why Does it Drown Black and Hispanic Voices

No One is Above Politics
No one is above the law and politics. It’s common to hear people claim that they stay out of politics or that they’re above it altogether. Politics can be exhausting and divisive, but the fact of the matter is that politics governs every aspect of our lives, from taxes to basic human rights. Choosing not […]
Op-Ed: Should We Fear AI or Embrace It?
The thing about artificial intelligence is that without proper regulations, it could replace humans instead of assisting them. Artificial intelligence isn’t a new concept; it’s long been the topic of sci-fi and dystopian films like “Ex-Machina” (which is a great film, by the way, and if you haven’t watched it, you should). But realistically, the […]
