I’ve been reflecting a lot on spirituality and its connection to religion, especially as a gay man. For many queer individuals, religion can be a challenging topic, often leaving a bitter taste in our mouths. Throughout our lives, we have faced many moments of hostility from those who insist they hold the key to divine

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. As a gay man navigating these turbulent times, I have felt firsthand the weight of this malevolent force and its impact on

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.

Let’s talk about something that might sound like it’s straight out of a dystopian sci-fi novel, but is rapidly becoming our reality: techno-fascism. The term’s been around for a while, but what does it really mean? And how does it tie into the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in government, with Elon Musk at the

Forcing Palestinians out of Gaza is not just a simple matter; it’s a grave violation of human rights. When people are pushed out of their homes, it’s essentially a form of ethnic cleansing. This concept involves the mass expulsion or killing of members of a specific ethnic or religious group within a society. It’s a
