Tomorrow we step into Pride Month. And this year—more than ever—we have to remember that while there’s celebration, Pride is, and always has been, about activism. It’s about marching for equality and justice, not just for LGBTQIA+ folks, but for everyone. I know it’s cliché to say, but it matters: we cannot forget our past.…

So—the pope died today. And whether you’re Catholic or not, that hits. The death of a pope is more than just a news item—it’s the symbolic end of an era in one of the oldest, most powerful institutions on Earth. And now, all eyes turn to what comes next. There’s already talk: What if the…

Millions of Americans took to the streets to protest against the Trump administration, and it was a powerful reminder that people still won’t sit back and be ignored. These massive protests aren’t just about making noise—they’re a way for ordinary folks to stand up and demand change when policies seem to favor a select few…

Autogenocide might sound like something straight out of a dystopian novel, but it’s a concept that’s increasingly being discussed—and hotly debated—in our society today.
