Boomers have labeled younger generations many times themselves. Generation Z has started a war against the Boomers with the phrase “OK boomer.” Many people of the now older generation take offense to this phrase, with some going so far to claim it’s a slur. But when the older generations have called us actually harmful terms […]
Though supporters and critics of the law have labeled it the end all of gun laws, that simply isn’t true. Oklahoma House Bill 2597, which was passed in February and went into effect recently, legalizes permitless carry (also known as constitutional carry) of firearms for anyone who is allowed to own a firearm. To some, […]
Students have protested the lack of action by lawmakers regarding white supremacists. Emmett Louis Till was only 14 years old when he was lynched by a group of men after a white woman accused him of flirting with her in the store. After the group murdered him, they dumped his body in a river, and, […]
The measures taken by Gov. Cuomo will disproportionately hurt racial minorities in the city. On Oct. 25, a swarm of police officers pointed their guns on a black man sitting on a train full of civilians.

Trump has no ground to stand on and no army, but his comments are still worrying. To quote a tweet from the comedian Patton Oswalt, “Imagine being so hated that on the day you announce that the LEADER OF ISIS HAS BEEN KILLED ON YOUR ORDERS a stadium full of baseball fans still boos you.” […]
Critics are labeling O’Rourke’s early exit a failure, but this misses an important point. On Friday, Beto O’Rourke’s ill-fated bid at the Democratic nomination for President came to an end. This news came just before the former Congressman was scheduled to speak at an event in Iowa. Though many have already described O’Rourke’s run as […]
The unruliness of this administration leaves it open for more dangerous mistakes. If you were the top level politician in an ostensibly democratic nation, would you prefer a bureaucratic workforce that focuses on security or flexibility? Do you hire the most qualified, patient person or the hotshot that will take the job? Do you create […]
With another parliamentary election coming in December, Johnson could get the numbers he needs. Brexit has been delayed, again. The initial vote for the U.K. to leave the EU was in June 2016, three-and-a-half years ago, and the actual act of leaving has been delayed three times now. This is, by nature, a polarizing issue […]
