"Smart people don't like me!"

All eyes were on New York City last night as the polls closed and votes were counted. Eagerly awaiting the winner for Mayor, people across the world sat on the edge of their chairs, biting unkempt fingernails. Their hair was shriveled, their eyes wide open like a barista who had too many drinks. Well, everyone can stop biting their nails in a frantic worry, for a charming democratic socialist won. Voting in not only a socialist but a Muslim is a much-needed change in the face

Instagram | @phractical_phaerie What harm can a person in an animal costume do? They can’t move around freely and are weighed down by fabric. Well, ICE felt threatened by one giraffe, who sang only his opinion with a beautiful choice of words. A Proud Boy with a big boy gun fired pepper balls at the giraffe’s feet, only to walk away ashamed of his weak aim. Detained for his freedom of speech, it took a small army of thugs—dressed in military garb—in order to drag the harmless

Congregating in front of the old capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, is a cult of fake Christians, who love white nationalism with their bread and butter. Dragging a few of their "token" minority friends who are too stupid to understand they are only accepted into the Mayo clique so the racists can claim they aren't racist. But little do they know, these whiter-than-white imbeciles laugh at racism when they aren’t around. Low-and-behold, a spectacle of fake waterworks is to begi

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

Ah, Tallahassee, the capital city of Florida—known for its trees and diversity. But don’t let that fool you. Peace can easily be disrupted, and we have two known hate groups hiding in our city: Moms for Liberty and No Left Turn in Education. Well, they are not that hidden as they are tracked hate groups according to The Southern Poverty Law Center: https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map/ Moms for Liberty is a group of extreme intolerant Karens who are displeased with the school

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

There are many things the left does better: social justice, immigration rights, feminism, education, and so, so much more. But racism? While the right of the political spectrum has racism mastered like no other, there are some Democrats that are called "the old dems" and they still have that racist gene. Having a family history of prejudice and slaveholding, Loranne Ausley tries hard to fight against her family’s legacy. While this is good, people should evolve, her demeanor

A shooting broke out earlier today, on September 24th, at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, Texas. While people are defending ICE agents, they fail to bring awareness to the true victims. Being held against their will, an unconstitutional act, two detainees are now dead, and one is injured. If they were never there to begin with, they would still be alive. While their deaths are the fault of the shooter, it is not without the government’s involvement. They had placed these

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

In a world ran by wannabe dictators and overt Christian nationalists, people are being fired for their freedom of speech. Now, firing someone you don’t like has existed for as long as humans have created the notion of jobs. The difference today is that the government is interfering on people’s rights as an American. But I fear touting a white supremacist as a saint and tossing petals at him will not cover up the stench of evil he shat when he passed, no matter how “Christian”

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

A DEADLY CULT OF FEAR AND ANGER. Everyone wants a place to belong, even if they do not act like it. People drift toward groups that they identify with and share a common goal or viewpoint. While it is normal behavior for people to form tribes and participate in co-op living, such as forming families, some groups drift together based on fear. The larger the group that runs off of fear, the deadlier they become. Trumpers have become bold with their prejudices, which started wit

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

As the Trump administration continues to take away various rights, we must form a united front and uphold the Constitution . What they are doing to (non)documented immigrants and U.S. citizens is sickening. Many U.S. citizens have already been detained because of racial profiling. Look out for each other, inform each other. Be a good neighbor to your fellow humans during these awful times. Everyone, please be safe and know your rights . Do not open the door to the police unle
