We’re in the third week of the second administration of donald trump, and it already feels like we’re spiraling out of control.

I’m … More Trump 2.0

Since then, the IDF has mounted a continuing offensive in Gaza that has resulted in nearly two-million internally displaced Palestinians, over 20,000 … More Israel, Gaza, Hamas, Self-Defense, and Genocide
