I find it odd that as our world becomes more unstable and disturbing, we don’t spend much time talking about the people who will be most affected by what’s happening: our youth.
As crises mount like Jenga blocks on a three-legged table, our children have become afterthoughts. They’ve sacrificed their…
I’m not saying it’s tough to be a straight white man these days, but for the first time in my life I can actually see the advantage of not being one.
It’s almost impossible to go 15 minutes without seeing a commercial, TV show, PSA, or yard sign that reminds…
As Democrats lick their wounds from an electoral shellacking and Republicans gloat over their near-certain victory in the 2022 midterms, two different narratives have emerged about what happened last Tuesday and what it signifies.
Progressives hyper-sensitized to race saw a red wave overtake a state they’d long assumed was safe…
Last week I came across a Bloomberg op-ed that would have shocked me a few years ago. Now I see it as just another sign that we’ve moved to the next phase in the re-shaping of America.
