It’s telling that only after Goma’s airport closure and the stoppage of mineral exports does Western media show interest. Simplifying the conflict by blaming Rwanda ignores the intricate and deep-rooted issues at play.

An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

A true Christian wouldn’t criticize a prayer service for not being “exciting.” This feels less like faith and more like the plot of The Devil’s Advocate.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.

Trump is most dangerous when he’s distracting us from his real goals.
He’s planning on slashing taxes for the rich, exacting retribution on his political enemies, and demonizing immigrant communities nationwide.
We can't get bogged down in his crazy sideshows and distractions.
