Zohran refused to endorse Israel: here’s why
Here’s a name you probably haven’t heard before, Mamhood Mamdani (Or maybe you have, which in that case, good!).
Well, I read his book, titled “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim”. And I think his educational background reveals a ton about why Zohran is the way he is. Let’ us dive in.

The Cuba Subpoena isn't about what you think
Mr. Hasan Piker, political commentator and one of the two targets of recent subpoenas regarding the Nuestra America flotilla organized by Progressive International (LISBON, PORTGUAL) -- You do not need to be a genius to see this; this is not an ideological fight.

The Trump administration does not care whether

Ken Paxton, 2025, courtesy of WikiMedia (DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA, TEXAS) -- Democratic optimism is rising across Texas this spring, and not without reason. The state’s Senate race is increasingly orbiting around Ken Paxton: a figure who, for many voters, has come to represent not just the Republican Party’s rightward shift, but a broader tolerance for scandal, extremism, and constant political conflict.

Centrist Dem's Campaign to Smear Hasan Piker Is A Silly Idea
Hasan Piker in 2021, accessed via WikiMedia (CHESTERTOWN, MD) – Hasan Piker has unquestionably had a hold of the young, progressive, and online left for some time. However, it has only recently became true that Piker has seen some lauding and praise in establishment media, with profiles in the New York Times, GQ, and The Observer.

Bondi's Loyalty Didn't Save Her
In the politics of the modern Republican Party, there has been a view that loyalty to Trump has been of utmost importance, especially since 2020. After his loss in the 2020 election The Republican Party, now more than ever, has become a cut of personality, and with his reentry into the White House, there has been the view that you must remain 100% loyal to the President to hold your position, be that in the Cabinet, Congress, or at the state level with the Republican Party Go

The exacerbation of racial prejudice in the exertion of unchecked authority by municipal police forces since before many of us were born, resulting in hundreds of unnecessary deaths of innocents (George Floyd, Sonya Massey, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, etc.) is the most

Social Movements Necessitate Sacrifice
Free Nelson Mandela Protest in West Berlin, Wikimedia CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Among our readings for my class "POL 294: Civic Engagement & Political Advocacy", there has been a great deal of disagreement over the necessity of one to convince other peoples of your political positions, and whether it is your personal responsibility to inform others of political issues.
