A Crappy 2020
Face it people: 2020 was the worst year for a lot of people. The fact that we now real leadership coming in the form of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has so far been the best thing to happen this year (other than Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed: Valhalla and the Playstation 5 being released)

My Skin Color
If I am reading American and world history correctly, I see a world shaped greatly by the harm caused by people who look like me. In my own country, I see lynchings, exclusionary acts, separate but equal policies, slavery, internment, genocide, chemical castration, xenophobia, and nationalism. Looking more broadly across the globe, I see colonialism, eugenics, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, Apartheid, and much more.

Opinion: American Politicians Are Failing During the Pandemic
We need direction. Clear, consistent, agreed upon direction and we need it sooner than yesterday.

What To Expect in the Next 4 Years
After an election, it's only natural to wonder what will come next. In 2016, countless people were asking themselves that same question with no idea what to expect. There had never been an election quite like that one, with two candidates quite like those candidates. Four years later, the 2020 election made the 2016 election look boring. After such a groundbreaking, once-in-a-lifetime election cycle, America is staring down a very different four-year future.

Inept
Never before in recent memory has there been members of Congress behaved so inept in practically every regard. They have continued to miss the boat on every piece of legislation that has come out of Washington for the past 40 years. It is then no wonder why the United States has the greatest income inequality in our nations history. The half ass approach in this latest stimulus proposal is a prime example of how far removed they really are from the plight of millions of Americas.
