Moral Dilemmas
A dilemma that each of us may undoubtedly face, and one that requires we look inwardly to reflect on core values. If someone took something of mine, and demanded my silence I already know it would be their biggest mistake. Firstly, because after much introspection, I know I am a vocal advocate for intervention when I see violent oppression occurring. Because this is a core truth I chose to adopt as a principle morale in my life – there is no justifiable way I could remain silent in the face of such adversity. Which is something I’ve demonstrated in application myself.

How dare you?
The Intertwined Freedoms: Why the First Amendment is Paramount The United States Constitution, a cornerstone of American democracy, is often lauded for its protection of individual liberties. Among its most frequently debated provisions are the First Amendment, guaranteeing fundamental freedoms like speech and assembly, and the Second Amendment, which protects the right to bear arms. While both are crucial, a prevailing sentiment in contemporary discourse often elevates the Second Amendment above all others, particularly the First. This perspective fundamentally misunderstands the interconnectedness of these rights and the foresight of the nation's Founders.

Ahh, Hambug Again
Stave One: A Miserable Christmas Eve Liberty had perished – it was an absolute, and little doubt could be given upon that. The moment the President had taken his oath – everything had been certified as tangible as the death certificate of Freedom’s undoing.

Shadow Work: Narcissists, Toxic People and Healing
In a brief, somewhat uncomfortable acquaintance, I encountered a person who embodied some of the toxic traits of manipulation that I had previously ignored greatly by quieting my intuition and being a person who didn't want to be overly judgmental, or give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

To the American People
To the American People, June 13, 2025 When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

An Unsettling Confrontation.
The terrifying incident of being nearly run over while peacefully protesting is far more than a personal affront; it represents a deeply unsettling challenge to the very foundation of democratic society. To experience such a blatant act of aggression—a vehicle used as a weapon against a civilian exercising their constitutional rights—is to witness a profound betrayal of the ideals this nation purports to uphold. This experience forces a confrontation with the bewildering truth that some individuals are willing to resort to monstrous tactics, directly contradicting the solemn military oaths sworn to defend the country against fascism.

Deportations and a Pandemic
Imagine that everything you ever believed in all came to a halt – in just one day. A full twenty-four hours, and that was what the outcome of the deportation had caused. Geraldo didn’t see it coming, and neither did any of the other four men who had been carted away by angry ICE agents who didn’t seem to care whether they scraped them up all along their arms as they drug them toward their detention van. Totaling five, Geraldo still hadn’t gotten any clear answers as to why they’d been detained.
