Are We Still Out-Organized?

We are not out-organized. And they are desperate, deprived, and doing the most diabolically evil.

We are experiencing and bearing witness to kidnapping, human trafficking, incarceration, detainment, “black sites”, concentration camps, and enforced statelessness. The most disturbing part of this nation’s history, coupled with the everyday realities of the US-Israel genocide of Gaza, is reverberating domestically throughout the United States. The “shame”, secrecy, and gaslighting of the US’s contemporary foreign policy and immigration policy of years ago no longer exist. From the United States to occupied Palestine, there are no secrets:

Predators in Charge: Politics, Power, and Prestige and Its Influence on Rape Culture

This piece will name many predators in power (whether politically or through money and fame). While I do not go into details of the crimes, I know just naming the person and what they were accused of can be triggering enough. Just gathering the pieces for this article was rough for me as a survivor of rape and sexual assaults so I wanted to name this for all of us. If you can, rage through this one with me and try not to skim—let us bear witness and think critically about the impacts of these very public atrocities on our legislation and our societies.

The Dangerous Migrant: Gringo, Go Home

I unapologetically claim the term "gringophobia" to describe that mix of irritation and distrust sparked by certain foreigners from the Global North. Those who show up in our territories speaking only unintelligible languages, radiating entitlement, superiority, and the smug arrogance granted by the colonial white privilege. They feel authorized to appropriate, dispossess, and abuse because they know the system is designed to guarantee their impunity.

Boycott America

I wish I could name this piece How to Boycott the USA in 5 easy steps, but nothing about boycotting America is easy, nor are there only 5 steps. But please stay with me anyway.

To say that this current administration is the worst we've had says a lot, especially in their treatment of marginalized communities and people of the global majority. So let's say it with the weight it carries: this administration is the absolute worst. America has not been having a great—not even a good—time these past 247 years, and collectively, we are not ok. Americans, on the whole and across the board, are sick, sad, and scared. According to the 2025 World Happiness Report, “In the rankings of happiness haves and have-nots, the U.S. dropped to its lowest ever spot at No. 24, continuing its decline from a peak of the 11th place over a decade ago. The report described political polarization as a result of growing despair among Americans.”

Democrats, Say Nothing, We’ve Given Up on You

Remember when the Democrats brought Olivia Pope and “President” Fitz on stage at the Democratic National Convention in 2024 as a serious contributing act against President Trump? How well did that work out? It only cemented one thing: from then until now, the Democrats have no fucking idea what they’re doing. In most presidential campaigns with Trump, Democrats have had an issue with taking him seriously.

The Real Danger of the Anti-DEI Movement

As a career educator with over 15 years in K-12 and higher education, I can't help but celebrate the rollbacks of disingenuous DEI initiatives that have plagued this country since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. For too long, higher education's obsession with admitting us based on our race has stifled our true excellence. Just think about the millions of dollars white people will save now that they won’t have to finance buildings or make large donations just to get their children into schools they wouldn’t have qualified for otherwise. It’s refreshing to finally be recognized for our collective merit and have the opportunity to gain admission to the country’s top Ivy League institutions because we deserve it. Nothing is standing in our way now!
