The Gravity of Gaza: A Reality the World Refuses to See
The past two years have seen Gaza pushed past the brink of devastation, into an abyss so deep that the world cannot—or perhaps refuses to—look directly at it. The scale of destruction, the deliberate starvation, the targeting of civilians, hospitals, and schools are not tragedies of war in the abstract sense; they are a cold, calculated campaign to erase an entire people. And yet, outside the narrow strip of land that holds over two million Palestinians, life largely continues as usual. The global community, numbed by endless footage of bombings... Read more...
July 5th: Algeria’s Independence Day — Remembering the Cost of Freedom

Every 4th of July, we’re told to celebrate freedom — but freedom built on genocide and slavery is no freedom at all. Over a million Indigenous people killed to steal their land. Millions of Africans kidnapped, chained in slave ships where over two million died before even reaching shore. The fireworks cover up a truth this country still refuses to face: America was built on two holocausts, and the echoes of that violence still shape our present Read more...
Global War and Its Fallout: Why Gas Prices Would Skyrocket — and That’s Just the Beginning
As tensions rise across multiple regions — from the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Pacific — the specter of a world war has become less abstract and more of a real, looming threat.

In the event of a world war, economic chaos, humanitarian disasters, supply chain collapse, and political unrest would not just shake the global stage — they’d hit close to home. Even countries not directly involved in... Read more...

After residential schools began to shut down, Canada didn’t stop tearing Indigenous families apart — it just changed tactics.

This wasn't child protection — it was cultural genocide. And it's far from over. Read more...
