Share: California’s governor, Gavin Newsom has taken recent initiatives to address the state’s escalating homeless crisis, which has sparked a major debate. While his administration has introduced measures aimed at reducing encampments and providing support to the unhoused, critics argue that these actions may be more about political optics than substantive change. In May 2025, Newsom called on cities and countries to ban homeless encampments on public property, offering $3.3 billion in state funding for housing, mental health services, and related support for cities that …
Death penalty push only fuels Luigi’s martyrdom
Share: In an unjust trial, Attorney General Pam Bondi decided to pursue the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, accused of the December 4, 2024, assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. With the law being so biased and strict, seemingly exclusively towards Mangione in an already flawed legal system, it almost seems as if they’re using him as an example to deter others from committing similar actions. It is unfair that Mangione allegedly shot one individual without attempting to harm others, but is treated as if …
Israel continues to play the hero while being the villain
Share: Over the weekend, Israel’s security cabinet voted to increase military options and approve an expansion of operations in Gaza. Since the October 7, 2023, attacks began, there are plans in motion now suggesting that there are plans for a ceasefire, to defeat Hamas in Gaza, and to rescue the hostages. Israel is using their war effort to rescue hostages with their military action plan. This plan is likely to be set in motion following President Donald Trump’s arrival in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab …
Mike Waltz shouldn’t be the only one to take the fall for Signal shenanigans
Share: Mike Waltz has been removed from his role as National Security Advisor on May 1, in what seems like a simple way to place the blame for the Signal shenanigans on one singular person, and someone other than Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary. Yes, Waltz did indeed create the Signal chat that included the Atlantic magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, but the blame shouldn’t be placed all on him. It was Hegseth who sent out official military information regarding airstrikes on the commercial messaging app, …
Trump’s visa reversal wasn’t justice, it was legal damage control
Share: The Trump administration recently revised its decision to terminate student visas for more than 1,500 international students in a rare retreat that reflects more on political pressure than it does on equity. Targeting many international students, many of whom had minor disputes with the law, the initial crackdown appeared to follow a wider trend of anti-immigration legislation. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unexpectedly revoked their status, even though the majority of them were lawfully in the country on F-1 visas. They were frequently …
The H3 versus Hasanabi debate was a waste of time
Share: After a whole year full of non-stop beef, Ethan Klein of the H3H3 podcast and streamer Hasan Piker or Hasanabi broadcasted a live debate on May 3 in order to settle the score. It was a nightmare. In the nearly five–hour broadcast, Hasan and Ethan moved back and forth between ever-shifting goalposts. From petty drama involving streamers who are barely relevant to the topic, to the horrific acts of violence coming out of the Middle East. The debate came as the climax to the …
Aussies rejected ‘Temu Trump’ because they’re afraid to end up like us
Share: On May 3, Anthony Albanese was re-elected as Prime Minister of Australia in a landslide win that echoes a step back from heavy conservatism that we’ve seen in other countries following Donald Trump’s rampage in the U.S. and other countries. I know you’re likely thinking Trump has nothing to do with foreign elections, but after Trump shoved his nose into everyone’s business and imposed frightening tariffs, these elections featured a heavy topic of Trump. It’s really not a stretch to say the Australian election …
Arrest of Judge Dugan shows Trump doesn’t do due process
Share: The Trump administration’s pattern of firing government officials who work against its belief system is evident yet again. The FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan for supposedly obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant, she faces multiple charges and the public is now demanding justice on her behalf. On Friday, April 25th, in a parking lot of a Milwaukee Courthouse, Dugan was arrested for allegedly misleading ICE agents, set out by the FBI, from finding and arresting Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. After previously …
ICE is becoming the American Gestapo
Share: ICE is now detaining and deporting foreign students and children despite them being legally permitted to live in the U.S. These unlawful deportations are evidence that the U.S. federal government is growing increasingly similar to an authoritarian regime that disregards rule by law. Growing similarities between the two organizations have caused sources to compare ICE to the Gestapo, the most well-known example of a secret police. Just like what Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is doing now, the Gestapo initially started arresting people without …
Fear mongering misinformation only deepens political divide
Share: The spread of misinformation regarding Trump’s rumored declaration of Martial Law on April 20 has caused unnecessary terror among Americans and could drive people away from educating themselves, further expanding the division between the right and the left. Throughout the month of April, various social media users on platforms such as TikTok posted videos saying President Donald Trump would be declaring Martial Law on April 20. Even though it’s irresponsible to spread misinformation online about what is happening with our already questionable and unhinged …
