And the “Oscar for most boorishly idiotic and ill-informed comment” goes to...

It’s extremely disheartening (and more than a little concerning) to see how much the US has lost its power over the last year or so... largely because the current administration doesn’t understand (or simply doesn’t care about) the concept of “soft power” and instead feels that “real” power comes from having a bigger…

The end of empire is never pretty.

Living in my truth as a black queer person comes with the understanding that I may also be quickening my death.
