politics

Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Wake up, Work, Repeat.... Content Warning.
There is one constant thing I remember about my childhood, and that is the adults in my family always saying they 'had' to work but also that they 'hated' work. As a child, I didn't really understand this concept, especially since I was always being taught the idea that if I did great in school and went to college, I would be able to get the job I wanted to have. As I grew up, I realized this was a lie for most people. College was very competitive and did not guarantee anything. The job market was filled with things that I was not taught or warned about - such as quid pro quo, nepotism - and that being a woman instantly gave me a disadvantage.

Who is Really Weaponizing the Courts?
Donald Trump wants you to believe he’s a martyr—dragged into courtrooms by a weaponized justice system, a tragic hero persecuted by the establishment. Cue the violins. But in the real world, Trump hasn’t just been in court—he’s practically lived there. He’d have you believe that he’s a poor, persecuted soul, besieged by a cabal of leftist prosecutors, corrupt judges, and deep state saboteurs who have the audacity—the gall—to treat him like an ordinary citizen subject to laws. Every courtroom appearance is framed as a martyrdom, every legal defeat spun into some overwrought conspiracy theory. He’s not on trial—he’s the lead character in a paranoid delusion that we're all supposed to buy into, apparently.

When Government Officials Betray Trust: The Fallout From the Signal Breach and What It Means for National Security
In March 2025, a serious security breach involving the encrypted messaging app Signal shook the foundations of digital communication in the U.S. government. It wasn’t the first time a communication tool had been implicated in a data leak, but it was perhaps the most significant: high-level national security officials in the Trump administration inadvertently included a journalist in a private group chat that contained classified and sensitive information about ongoing military operations. This breach revealed vulnerabilities not just in the Signal platform, but also in the methods of communication used by those in positions of power in government.

When did we elect sadists and cowards into office?
I knew Trump 2.0 would be bad, but I didn’t expect America to turn into Hogwarts under Dolores Umbridge overnight. The new Trump administration is full of sycophants and sadistic loyalists. Congressional Republicans are following orders like they’re preparing for the Nuremberg trials. Meanwhile, Democrats are still in a state of shock and disbelief after they lost the election.
