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

Let’s talk about the so-called gay agenda. For decades, this phrase has been weaponized to paint LGBTQ+ lives as some shadowy plot to corrupt society. But peel back the fearmongering, and what’s really there? Grocery lists. Date nights. Arguing over whose turn it is to take out the trash. Sound familiar? That’s because the “gay

To those reading this in 2025, I write with a heaviness in my heart and soul that feels both familiar and newly urgent. The past nine years have tested our collective resolve as an LGBTQ+ community in ways many of us feared but dared not fully imagine. With the return of Donald Trump to the

The President of Mexico just responded to Trump’s tariffs, and part of her statement deserves a closer look—not just because it’s sharp, but because it’s brutally honest.

Right now, it’s hard to ignore the sense of despair hanging over the United States. These are undeniably dark days. And if you listen to the rhetoric around us, it might seem like things are bound to get even worse. History has a lesson for us when we find ourselves in moments like this: don’t

Isn’t it wild how history seems to repeat itself, but this time with a modern twist?
