Biden’s Plea to Remember January 6th. AI-Generated.
Biden’s Plea to Remember January 6th: A Call for Reflection and Unity President Joe Biden recently addressed the nation, urging Americans to remember and reflect upon the events of January 6, 2021. The day marks one of the darkest chapters in modern American history when a mob stormed the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the certification of the presidential election results. For many, the insurrection was a stark reminder of the fragility of democracy and the pressing need to protect it.

Donald Trump Condemns U.S. Missile Support for Ukraine Amid Escalating Russia-Ukraine Conflict
A Ukrainian fighter during battle worked with an M101 howitzer on December 6 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Russia has welcomed a peace plan and expressed willingness to engage in dialogue, especially those headed by countries in the Global South and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). This followed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Ministry shared on social media that they are ready to negotiate and are open to peace initiatives. They also said Russian President Putin set the conditions for ending the fighting. However, they blamed Ukrainian President Zelensky for rejecting peace talks and blocking dialogue through a decree.

Deny, Defend, Depose...and Die?. Top Story - December 2024.
I am going to make the assumption that you have been following current events in the United States over the last week. I am going to imagine that you have some very strong opinions about what happened both on the streets of New York...and online. And I am going to assume that you will hear me out and accept my particular take on this (no trigger warnings necessary or provided).

Republicans, Can You Really Trust Trump?. Content Warning.
The 2024 Election: A Campaign of Misinformation The 2024 U.S. presidential election has shown us just how far some candidates and influencers will go to manipulate the truth. President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have used their platforms and influence to spread blatant lies and misleading information to the public. Trump’s campaign, fueled by fabricated claims, and Musk’s actions on X (formerly Twitter) to amplify and promote disinformation, have turned this election into a circus of deceit and made it harder for voters to distinguish truth from fiction. They won this election on a campaign of deception, plain and simple.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.
