The Isolation of Suburbia and Car Dependency

Both the physical geography and transportation of the suburbs literally separates us from our neighbors. The large houses and fences create boundaries between family units, and cars insulate us from anyone outside the moment we leave. This recreates a very individualistic culture. More public forms of travel like transit, biking, or even walking are often not even considered options, so drivers are often flagrantly unconcerned with their surroundings. This disregard for safety leads to dangerous driving and speeding. More broadly, these divisions normalize a neglect for your fellow humans and the environment. 

Resist Fascism, Fight for Socialism

"The United States is in turmoil. With the election of Donald Trump, the forces of fascism and tyranny are rearing their ugly heads. Trump and his goons are set on dismantling the few genuinely democratic institutions that we still have in this country. At such critical turning points in history, we have only two options; fight back or be crushed. "

GJ Socialists Mean Business

In the weeks leading up to Jared Taylor’s speaking event, CMU students, on their own initiative, joined the Western Culture Club (the club that invited Taylor) and attempted to hold an election to appoint new officers and change the direction of the club to be more positive and uplifting. In response, John Marshall sent two of his top ranking Administrative thugs, Jody Diers and Trey Downey, to illegally prevent the students from exercising their rights. Despite this the students soldiered on and refused to be intimidated or coerced by John Marshall and his fascist appeasing gang of academic frauds. 

City of GJ, Candidate Breakdown

My hope was to provide voters with a clear understanding of the choices before them. However, with minimal policy distinctions between candidates, factors like background and general impressions will likely play a larger role in shaping voter decisions. This leaves to a very, “vibes” based election. 

Free Speech for Some

Let me say that again for the civil rights attorneys in the back; John Marshall sent three top administrators to disenfranchise the voices of 20 students all in an effort to make sure a white supremacist spoke at CMU. His protestations and polished emails to the “Mavily” cannot cover this up. 

A Spontaneous Trip to the “Fight the Oligarchy” Tour

Then Bernie took the stage. Visibly shaken and in awe, he opens by explaining that this was by far the biggest turn out he has ever had. Previous rallies he held in Denver while running for president averaged about 10,000 people. His team had counted at least 35,000 people who Entered into the Civic Center. However, there were easily another 20,000+ people outside surrounding the center for several blocks, listening in on loudspeakers. Bernie made it clear that, "The world is watching to see if Americans resist Trumpism."

Many Question Mindsprings ICE Deal

After weeks of rumors, media stories, and a blog post from The Rev detailing the contents of Torres’ meeting with Mindsprings staff. Mindsprings sent us statement: “The Potential contract between West Springs Hospital and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to offer inpatient services to unaccompanied minors in Building D is not happening.”

Injustice in Gaza: a Muslim Perspective

I have witnessed enough children without heads or brains due to explosions, or crushed or buried by  rubble than I can bear to stomach, I see my own children's faces in these children. Now the war and destruction has expanded to Lebanon with a fragile ceasefire looming, following the same blueprint as  Gaza breaking all the rules of warfare with little concern for innocent civilians.
