"Smart people don't like me!"

Combating the officers in Portland, a frog stands tall, glaring deep into their eyes. Spraying him with peppery gas, the officers were unnerved by his calm demeanor. He laughed in their faces, inhaling the fumes of that which fuels him. He's had much spicier food than their gas. He is green, he is silent, and he consumes all things spice. Peppers and chilis run deep within him, turning the very breath that escapes his air into flames. So, watch out, ICE! He may just be able t

America has a history of enslavement and social wrongs. And through these atrocities, men and women fought for the freedom of those who were forcefully shackled. These abolitionists were so against the sin of slavery that most of them died for it. In order to fight the current corruption—that we call an administration—we must visit the past. This time, we are focusing on one man whose name should be a hot topic in every household in this country. People need to be aware of th

In a clear display of rivalry, two Jewish groups are going head-to-head in Florida, trying to outdo each other. On one side, you have the extremist pro-Israel organization, JewBelong, trying to lecture how everyone who is not pro-Israel is antisemitic. In 2018, its founder said Gaza is “full of monsters” and that it was “time to burn the whole place.” On the other side, you have antifascist Jews who are promoting the freedom of Palestine. Fixing the wordage on their billboard

In Florida, we love our freedom—or we used to. Anyone can technically arrest a law official if they are witnessing the officer committing a felony. Now, I am not telling everyone to go out and arrest all police officers who are performing arrests. But the last time I checked kidnapping people off the street is a felony in Florida. And that is exactly what ICE agents have been doing.   Often covering their faces while yanking helpless old ladies into their cars without identif

Known for his hateful rhetoric, a grown man went around college campuses to harass kids. If anyone else did that, they would be arrested and placed on a list, but his name was Charlie Kirk—a privileged white racist who catered to other privileged white racists. Saying bigoted nonsense with pride sure sounds good to those who don’t know things, and the faster one says it, the more confused the listener will be. That’s how you become the debate king! It’s what Charlie did. Lord

Growing up, I related more with people of color and people who immigrated to the United States versus other kids who looked like me—pale. My favorite time of the year in school was always Black History Month. I remember admiring the woman who would come to our class to speak. She gave me my first taste of chitlins. I thought it tasted amazing until I found out what it was. But that’s because animal rights has always been a passion of mine. In elementary school, I formed an in

Into a pit of darkness, we fall down the rabbit hole of destruction. Following the cruelties of nations’ past, we enter an era of fascism, committing human wrongs. Turning a blind eye, afraid to be the next target of a man not fit for presidency, people cower at the annoying fits thrown by Trump. Legacies of civil rights leaders of the past, drowned and forgotten, spit on by the apathetic tones of the people in the modern world—people who praise white nationalists like Charli

In order to correct our behavior, we must learn from the past. Most people have heard the name Emmett Till , the 14-year-old child that was lynched in 1955 Mississippi. But how many people have taken the time to understand what really happened back then? To the ones who do not know about Emmett's story, I ask: "Do you not know about Emmett Till because you were never given the resources, or is it because you simply do not want to know the truth?" Knowing about hate crimes and
