Self-care is the act of caring for yourself

Self-care is caring for yourself and ensuring that you are taken care of in your day-to-day life. While self-care can look different for each person, there is some overlap in what people do to care for themselves. For example, many people eat a healthy meal or drink a glass of…

Liz Cheney Tried to Save Our Democracy and I’m a Democrat Who is Sad She Lost

In recent weeks, there has been much discussion about the January 6 insurrection orchestrated by Donald Trump and his supporters. Sadly, it looks like it has not worked since Cheney, who stood up for democracy in opposition to this fascist coup, lost her primary. — As a progressive Democrat, I never imagined I’d say, “Liz Cheney tried to save our democracy”. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump since the Capitol Insurrection, was ousted by Trump-backed Harriet Hageman from her seat in the House.

No, Matt Gaetz, this isn’t “the Stasi” storming into Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate

The FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate for his involvement in the January 6 insurrection has sent his supporters in Congress and around the country into a frenzy, accusing the agency of storming the place like an East German Stasi. — In a tweet last Tuesday, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said: “They just wanted to storm the place like the East German Stasi. This is in my opinion the most defining moment of the Joe Biden presidency. Before this, it would have been Afghanistan.” The FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago was part…

Why we must act: Join Black Jews today in combatting the policing injustices that harm us all.

In his State of the Union address, President Biden said, “We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police. It’s to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them.” For years, Black Jews have advocated that instead of funding police, we should fund alternatives to policing. They believe…

Juneteenth is a day on, not a day off for white allies

The Juneteenth holiday marks the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday is celebrated in mostly predominantly Black American communities and some predominantly non-African-American communities. Specifically, this day marks when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, and declared General E.O.C. Ord had…

Country music still has a race problem. Let’s talk about it. (Morgan Wallen)

I am a Black woman who lives in the deep South. I am a huge fan of country music, but I am still disappointed by the industry’s inaction in terms of racial justice. There is a lot of talk about diversity in country music. The lack of women and Black…

Men Can Be Abused, Too

[Trigger warning: This post contains material about sexual and dating violence.] I think it’s important to remember that men can be victims too.

Beto O’Rourke’s Outburst in the Gun Control Discussion is Precisely What Democrats Need

Beto O’Rourke is not a presidential candidate for 2024. But he should be. Beto O’Rourke has shown that Democrats have the spine they need to stand up to the NRA, and I’m so glad he did. The former Texas…
