In the United States, cruel and unusual punishment is alive and well, and Alabama’s most recent maneuver around lethal injection sets a dangerous precedent for the justice system.
I still remember the day that Joe Biden was declared president-elect in 2020. I was in my room checking the election results for the 40th time that day, reloading my Safari page every second, when I saw a headline projecting his victory. I was ecstatic. I was only a senior in high school at the time, but I felt a sense of massive relief; the big, bad Donald Trump was done. Gone for good, or so I thought.
Only 13.8 percent of registered North Carolina voters showed out to vote in 2023 municipal elections. Voting allows each individual to elect officials who will make decisions that impact their own lives and those around them, and it is a staple of American democracy – yet most people don't engage with politics.
The Oscar-nominated Netflix film “May December” hypocritically exploits the abuse faced by Vili Fualaau, who was raped at 12-years-old by his 34-year-old teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau.

Coffee shops, parks, libraries, museums and community centers — what do these places all have in common? They’re not your house or your workplace. They’re “third places.”
My decision to "go random" and live with someone for nine and a half months whom I knew nothing about was actually unintentional.
Less than three minutes into his opening monologue at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, host and comedian Jo Koy dropped his first of a series of controversial jokes: "'Oppenheimer' is based on a 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan project, and 'Barbie' is on a plastic doll with big boobies!”
Every time I read the news, scroll on social media, or even just step outside, I’m inundated with news of escalating global tensions. The death toll in Gaza exceeded 24,000 people, the United Nations reported that over 7.4 million people have been displaced by the war in Sudan and an onslaught of missile attacks hit Ukraine all within the span of three days. It’s harrowing.
I have a confession: Despite singing Hark the Sound, I am not a Tar Heel born, nor a Tar Heel bred. And today, the basketball team I was raised to support comes to town.
The story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard first caught the nation’s attention in 2016, when she pled guilty to second-degree murder in the case of her mother’s death. Now, released early on parole at the end of 2023, Blanchard finds herself in the spotlight once again.
