MLK Jr.’s daughter: Americans should not ‘retreat or recoil’ after Trump win. This sentiment, urging continued engagement and resistance, is a powerful call to action in the face of what many perceive as a setback for progress. It’s a message that resonates deeply, especially considering the emotional toll of a deeply divisive election.
The exhaustion felt by many is palpable. Years of activism, of fighting for what’s right, can leave one feeling drained and disheartened, especially after a significant political defeat. It’s understandable to want to retreat, to take a break from the relentless battle, to simply focus on self-preservation.
But the call to resist the urge to retreat is not about ignoring the exhaustion or minimizing the pain of defeat.… Continue reading

As an American citizen, I echo the sentiments expressed by New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez regarding Democrats who have resigned themselves to fascism.

Russia knows Putin’s Crimea bridge is ‘doomed,’ Ukrainian official says. What does this statement truly entail? Is the bridge truly on the brink of destruction, or is it merely a symbolic gesture in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia?

The idea of destroying a bridge, especially one as significant as the Crimea bridge, is not to be taken lightly. It is a powerful symbol of Russian occupation and imperialism, forced upon the Ukrainian nation against its will.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a sense of unease when I think about crossing the Crimean Bridge.

It’s a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and tension in the region.

Calling out his authoritarian tendencies and dangerous behavior is not only fair game but necessary in a political climate where truth and decency seem to be eroding.… Continue reading
