Invite For Open Rebellion
In the years following the Great Society pushed through by LBJ no longer is there a common denominator that bridges the ever widening crevasses that keep pulling this nation apart. The storm clouds of open rebellion have already been formed. Formed not only by governmental policies that have totally disregarded the welfare of the majority of citizens but from the previous four years of an incompetent Administration. Now, the United States is faced with the tempests of open rebellion.

They Wanna Put US in Chains⛓
At this moment I find myself searching for words. I am frustrated, I am in a state of numbness, I am borderline rebellious. I remember the stories from my grandma, and em. They’d constantly speak of the two sided tracks. I remember it like it was yesterday, their teaching of the hypocrisy, the double standard, the two faced, self righteous soul of America 🇺🇸. That commentary was always met with jeers. It was thrown to the backs of our minds with the rest of the thoughts we deemed effects of tired old black people who just couldn’t get over the past. But now looking back the question running through my mind is, was it that grandma and em couldn’t get over the past, or was it that the past was still breathing in the now? I think 🤔 its safe to say this question has basically answered itself, which returns me to my initial state of shock.

Let's Change All the Nonsense
Why is it that we live in an upside-down society? Seriously, everything is backward and things do not seem to change. Even after the fact that people complain about everything that is happening, no one takes the steps to make things go the right way. It seems like people do not make drastic changes because it is very inconvenient.

Top 2 Trends of 2020 That Need to Die
The year 2020 was an eye-opening year that truly changed the way we view the old adage "hindsight is always 2020". We've seen a lot of strange firsts for society, as well as continuations of problems that have needed to be resolved for some time. We've also seen some severe regressions in cultural thought and behaviors amongst all sorts of people that have resulted in catastrophes that could be prevented if we all learned to get along with one another.

My Corrupt Life
My Corrupt Life, By Claudia Nicole Parker Hi, my name is Claudia, and I am here to talk to you about my corrupt life. My parents got divorced when I was very young. Growing up, my dad raised me to be a republican, but my mom raised me to be a democrat. Being young, I had no knowledge of what those words meant, or how being one or the other would affect my life, and affect how people looked at me, and how they treated me.

REPARATIONS NOW, MR. PRESIDENT!
By Guest Contributor Bashir Muhammad Akinyele “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”

Not a Karen
Yeah, I'm not calling them Karens anymore. I know too many decent people named Karen to lump them all together like that, even (gasp!) a Republican or two. The same goes for the term Republican, honestly; just because the GOP as a party has gone off the rails entirely doesn't mean individual people who still identify as Republicans are awful humans.

Hello, President Biden
Dear President Biden: I am just a concerned citizen and would just like to wish you a lot of luck in your new position as The President of the United States. Hate to say this about myself, but I am not a voter in political elections. I am one of those apathic people that just goes out everyday and does there jobs whatever that may be.
