End of the Line for a Weakling President
In the endpoint of a life, it always comes down to what a person did. What atoms did she smash? What novel can be seen as his magnum opus? It is all about the actions. It is all about what the person did during their time dancing or remaining in stasis in the universe.

Raised by Silence. Content Warning.
As a child, she read fairy tales and watched them on television. They taught her what she knew about love and how a female "should" act. The helpless damsel in distress needing a strong, handsome Prince to rescue her and give her a better life. As she grew older, movies and television shows continued to show her what was expected of her. Grease was one of her favorite movies growing up; she saw it as the best story of true love. Sandy and Danny were her ideal couple. A girl who was sweet, caring, smart, and innocent then changed her whole self for the bad boy who couldn't accept her as she was. The female characters who chase after abusive men, allowing themselves to be used and treated like property. The scene where Danny attempted to rape Sandy while they were on a date and nothing was ever said about it later on. She still ran back to his arms and called him her true love. Maybe that was why she failed to understand that rape was wrong when it happened to her.

Introduction The recent announcement that former President Donald Trump has selected Fox News host and former Army National Guard officer Pete Hegseth as his choice for Secretary of Defense has set the political sphere abuzz.

"End of the World"
Every time we are about to vote in the presidential election where Trump is a candidate (third time now, hopefully a charm to get him out of politics), I remember the "End of the World" episode of Trackdown that is eerily similar to our today's reality.

Where Were Y'all? Latin Artists Finally Back Kamala Harris After Racist Trump MSG Rally
As long as I can remember, my beautiful Black life has intertwined with Latin heritage and culture. Thanks to growing up in one of the most culturally rich boroughs in New York City, I have been able to know, bond, and love those many people who have Latin blood running through their veins. My Black late uncle and his former wife, a proud Latina, brought several cousins of mixed race into my family. Similarly, I have strong connections to their relatives, whom I treasure just as fiercely. My best friend is Dominican. The family I often spend Thanksgiving and holidays with are Puerto Rican. The performer who has inspired me more than any other was Mexican-American.
