What Would It Take to Impeach Donald Trump?
Like many left-leaning people, I experienced some pretty extreme emotions when Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States on November 8, 2016.

Best Women's Soccer Gear in 2018
Soccer is tough. Brutal, even. But it's even more so if you're not well prepared with the best women's soccer gear you can find. It's not just a matter of comfort or appearance—in fact, those are very much secondary concerns when it comes to soccer apparel and equipment. The real concern, and the reason you should care about what gear you wear and use, is that soccer players are at a very high risk of injury. Poor gear or lack of protection can put you out of the game for a long time, whether from strain-related injuries because of low-quality or ill-fitting soccer shoes, or contact injuries like turf burns or impact bruises from not having proper protective gear.

Making a Big Change
Perhaps the boldest move that a company can ever take is to try and rebrand itself.

I Tested the KegelSmart by Intimina. Here's Why I Love It.. Created with: INTIMINA.
I remember when I gave birth to my daughter. I was worried about a lot of things, and had a lot of questions on my mind. I worried that she’d be unhealthy, or that I would end up being unable to be the parent I needed to be. Most people already knew that I was concerned about that, and had no problem acting as a confidante for me when I was freaking out.

What Clicker Games Say About Capitalism
Video games are a unique art form—one must interact with the art directly, and the player can change outcomes, form relationships, or even abandon the main story in favor of side quests.
