Recently, Israel issued travel bans for Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. This is, yet again, another example of the country trying to silence its toughest critics. While many have rightly criticized the bans, largely absent has been a discussion on not just Israel’s attempt to suppress dissent from U.S politicians, but specifically from vocal […]
It’s safe to say that the overwhelming majority of coverage Fox News gives of President Trump is flattering. However, this doesn’t seem to be good enough for the Commander-in-Chief. “Fox is a lot different than it used to be, I can tell you that…” “There’s something going on at Fox…and I’m not happy with it.” […]
Donald Trump rejects the idea that his rhetoric has contributed to the occurrences of violence. However, according to a new report by ABC News, the President’s name was invoked in a total of thirty-six cases of violence, threats, and assault.

At the second night of the Democratic presidential debate, on a stage where Joe Biden stood next to Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, the topic of criminal justice reform and the 1994 Crime Bill didn’t come up once.

There have been some strange ones during the Trump administration, occurrences which in a simpler time we might have been able to laugh about. There was the infamous glowing orb, and the time Trump stared into the sun without eye protection, the knockoff Game of Thrones poster announcing ‘Sanctions are Coming,’ and the fast food […]

The House subcommittee held a highly-anticipated televised discussion about the need for reparations for Black Americans. The topic trended […]
Do you remember Amalia Ulman? She became known almost five years ago for creating one of the most poignant art projects of our time. From Dazed: “The digital artist spent four months curating an Instagram profile that documented the life of a wannabe it-girl trying to make it in LA. First, she was a young […]
On the surface, a John Quincy Adams speech from 1821, a 2002 drone strike in the Marib Province of Yemen, and President Donald Trump’s veto of the first invocation of the 1973 War Powers Resolution might not seem related. But upon further consideration, the history of the US’s military involvement in Yemen speaks to a […]
