I guess I’m weird because I don’t like it when the president of my country addresses the leaders of our allies the way an abusive father menacingly addresses his children.

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

Black-and-white illustration by William Balfour Ker  titled “From the Depths” of a crowded ballroom scene with men in suits and women in dresses dancing and socializing under chandeliers; in the foreground, a man stumbles backward as the floor beneath him cracks open with a fist emerging. Below the ballroom floor, a second scene shows people in a dark, cramped underground space, crouching and straining from supporting the floor above them.
