Dear Curious Reader, When things might look broken , I’ve learned that hope can be a source of strength. Even when it feels like everything is falling apart, holding onto hope can help us find the courage to keep going. Sometimes, hope isn’t about expecting things to immediately improve but trusting that we have the resilience to handle whatever comes next.

Trump's Pardons for January 6 Rioters
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued full pardons to 1,500 individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Among those pardoned were prominent figures from extremist groups, including leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy. This unprecedented move has reignited concerns about the fragility of American democracy, the erosion of the rule of law, and the stark inequalities within the justice system. When viewed through the lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), these pardons further highlight systemic inequities and the disproportionate impact of justice decisions on marginalized communities.

Why Do The Games in Squid Game S2 Show Real-Life Struggles
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

Relationship between “unconscious bias,” racism, and structural inequalities
The brain phenomenon known as “unconscious bias” has been widely used to justify different forms of prejudice and discrimination through stereotypes. In fact, it is important to highlight that this “unconscious” is completely related to the ways in which social structures are perceived that lead to these discriminatory attitudes.

Trump 2.0: Can Disruption Deliver a New Era?
Donald Trump, one of the most polarizing figures in modern American history, stands at the dawn of a second term, poised once again to challenge the status quo. His re-election, driven by a combination of his unapologetic style, economic promises, and the unwavering loyalty of his base, signals a renewed commitment to disrupting Washington and reshaping the global order. Yet, while his resolve has only strengthened, questions linger about how far his brand of disruption can go in an increasingly polarized political landscape.

Amnesty International’s Double Standard on Israel
Amnesty International, a global organization exceeding 7 million people, has long been regarded as a leading voice for human rights; however, its track record on Israel raises concerns about a pattern of selective outrage and disproportionate criticism. From allegations of apartheid to calls for international arms embargoes, Amnesty’s focus on Israel stands out as uniquely severe—raising critical questions about the organization’s impartiality and fairness in addressing complex geopolitical conflicts.
