Hate, a weapon wielded in the Trump era to strip away rights and dignity from numerous marginalized groups, seeping into the very essence of our society and eroding the bonds that bind us.

It’s hard to wrap my head around the news that Donald Trump has claimed the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” This isn’t just a casual rebranding; it’s a striking disregard for history and the significance names carry.

A few years ago, my husband Rick and I traveled to Budapest, Hungary. It’s a city that’s often romanticized for its stunning architecture, thermal baths, and rich history.
