(4/26/26) "Did Trump stage an assassination attempt to build a ballroom?"

So someone has tried to kill Trump AGAIN. Or so the administration is claiming.

However, based on the reactions of officials in the administration during and immediately after the incident, the fact that this coincidentally happened at the first White House Correspondent's Dinner that Trump has ever attended (A dinner he has no reason to attend, given it's with the press he constantly vilifies) the sudden coordinated effort to push for the construction of Trump's beloved ballroom, and the rumored IDF connections of the alleged shooter, this incident raises...questions.

There were already suspicious things about previous attempts on Trump's life, such as how the secret service and security at the rally on July 14th repeatedly refused for over an hour to deal with the shooter despite attendees pointing him out multiple times, but this is especially weird.

We need to be careful with how we approach this, lest the chance that it could be wrong (And also because we don't want to get in trouble with the schools that we have clubs at) but the circumstances surrounding this are downright bizarre, and currently, the opinion of this writer, and multiple members of the Student Action Collective that this was a staged attempt to build support for Trump's ballroom.

BUT GOOD LORD ARE THEY BAD AT IT.

Not only did the theories pop up immediately, they're being supported by large commentators such as The Rational National, and he's being clowned all across social media by people who think it was staged. Like, good lord, if you're gonna stage a false flag attack, at least be good at it. 

It's pathetic too, this ballroom is somehow so important to Trump that he's willing to stage a national security incident in order to get it built, when civilians and ships are being blown to smithereens in Iran, when nothing is affordable in the United States anymore, and when people are dying due to aid cuts all across the world. THIS, is the battle he chooses to fight, out of every battle he could fight. To quote the Joker, it'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. 

(4/20/26) "Fourth year of Sudan war begins with no end in sight"

While the world melts down in the face of wars in the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Asia, the horrifically destructive conflict in Sudan has puzzlingly fallen out of the news cycle. 

The conflict---which has devolved into a war of attrition, has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, caused the systematic collapse of Sudan's infrastructure, kickstarted the worst famine in the world besides Gaza, and has been further marred by unspeakable atrocities such as genocides, mass rapes, and the outbreak of diseases such as cholera.

The war is the bloodiest and most destructive in the world right now, and yet it has fallen out of the news cycle, being supplanted in perceived importance by the wars in Iran and Gaza. This has been the fate of numerous other destructive conflicts throughout the world as well, such as the one between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the one between Russia and Ukraine, the DRC's M23 conflict, and the Myanmar civil war, which collectively have claimed millions of lives over the course of the 2020s. 

It is a disgusting tragedy that the sufferings of tens of millions of people have gone unnoticed by a mainstream that has grown increasingly careless of the sufferings of civilians, of fathers, of mothers, of brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, siblings and parents and relatives and descendants, seemingly forgetting that they are just as human as we are, and that they are just as worthy of attention and efforts to save them as us in the west are, or as those in these media hotspots are. 

(4/12/26) "He closed the strait he wanted open just a week ago"

There has never been a dumber war in history. 

For a month and a half now, the United States and Israel have been bombing the hell out of Iran, sparking a conflict that threatens to destabilize not just the Middle East, but the whole world. 

And, after threatening to genocide the whole of Iran, he decided to chicken out and pursue peace talks, declaring a ceasefire, then failing to make any substantial progress on peace talks, and then ordering the Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran was doing willingly just a week prior and which Trump himself was angry about just a week prior.

Just... is this not clear at this point? How is this genius and tough leadership in any way? In what way is this level of haphazard foolishness restoring American credibility or making us tough again?

We now look like a nation of total cowards, unable to follow through on anything and being more willing to destroy ourselves than to destroy evil in the world. 

It's not hard to see at this point, literally any form of independent research will confirm this in every single way, whatever support this war and the administration still have is fueled by both blindness and the egos of tens of millions of Americans who are unable to admit they are wrong in any sort of way. 

(4/06/26) "Cowards, killers and fearmongers"

I don't want to focus on any specific event that I find appalling this week, because everything is appalling to me. 

Since Trump took office as the 47th President of the United States in January of 2025, nearly a million people have died thanks to his actions, such as cutting USAID, bombing Iran back into the stone age, supporting Israel during its genocide of Gaza, supporting right-wing dictators across the globe, engaging in a cultural genocide of the LGBTQ community, sending ICE thugs into communities to murder and "Disappear" people, gutting the social safety net, and sending our efforts to save and clean the environment back decades.

I am mad at everything, and I am mad for everyone: I am mad for the queer people whose lives are being made hell by this man, I am mad for the Persians and Arabs whose families are being slaughtered by the war in Iran, I am mad for the Latinos and BIPOC people who are being terrorized by ICE every single day, I am mad for the third world countries that have been destroyed or subjugated thanks to this President's abandonment of aid efforts and capitulation to corporate interests, and I am mad for the MAGA drones who let themselves be deceived by the most prolific con artist in American history.

I don't have a solution. I just want to say that I am mad, and that over the past year, this country has become a disgrace and an embarrassment. My identity as an American has become dangerous for me to embrace thanks to this man's actions and to the actions of my country. 

I don't have much else to say, I just needed to put all of this out there.

(3/15/26) "Thousands dead across the Middle East from Iran War"

We are now entering week 3 of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's war in Iran, replete with crimes against humanity, violations of international law, and the destabilization of the entire world order. 

It has now been estimated that thousands have died from this war, and nearly every country around Iran has been attacked during the war in some way. HRANA and Hengaw estimates that hundreds or even thousands of civilians have been slain in the conflict as well, and now families will mourn the losses of these people, as well as the soldiers who have been killed by this illegal war. 

This is not the only impact of the war: The world is enduring the worst energy crisis since the 1970s thanks to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz; The economy is currently experiencing a significant downturn thanks to disruptions caused by the war; and billions of dollars are being spent every day to keep the gears of this killing machine going.

There is nothing witty to say about this. We are living in a hell of our own creation, and we are paying the price with everything happening under the current, incompetent or tyrannical western governments that are perpetrating this war. In the meantime, we can take some actions to help stop this war or at least break the support of the Governments perpetrating them, so please sign our petition here: Petition: Remove President Trump for his illegal strikes in Iran! 

(2/28/26 + Update on 3/8/26) US AT WAR WITH IRAN

I had a list of predictions for the second Trump Administration ready within a week of him being elected.

This is the prediction I was the most terrified of, and it came true.

In the early hours of February 28th, 2026 and now into March 8th, without the consent of Congress, Donald Trump and his administration, in collaboration with Benjamin Netanyahu and his Government, bombed the shit out of Iran and killed thousands of civilians, with the stated purpose of toppling a regime that rules over 90 million people, has a military with nearly one million active and reserve personnel, and that possesses mountainous terrain that is nearly impossible for militaries to break through. 

If you didn't think we were screwed before, you better believe we are now. We have trapped ourselves in a war that is quite literally impossible to win, that will end either in us being humiliated or us being stuck in a civil war ten times worse than Iraq, and is now expanding into Lebanon, into Cyprus, into Kurdistan, spiraling out of the control of every country in the region. 

This is so far the worst decision the Trump Administration has made, which is saying a lot, and we know it's not because he wants to save the Iranian people: He is distracting us from the Epstein files, from his attempts to steal the midterms, from his profiting off the presidency, from his fascist revenge campaigns, from his gutting of the social safety net and environmental programs, and from the terror that ICE is waging on civilians every single day. He is willing to kill everyone in his way if it means he can distract from his own crimes. 

Trump needs to be removed from office by any means possible and thrown in jail for the rest of his hopefully short life, because now the entirety of humanity is in danger thanks to his actions. We can't do much, but we can help, and we would like you to sign our petition calling for the removal of Trump: Petition: Remove President Trump for his illegal strikes in Iran! 

(2/22/26) "ICE caught covering up a murder from a year ago"

ICE's death toll has now surpassed 40 victims, and in the past week a previously unknown casualty of ICE's rampage through American streets was uncovered.

HIs name was Ruben Ray Martinez, and he was murdered during a traffic stop. ICE claims that he attempted to ram agents during a stop after a car accident, which raises questions as to why they were even there in the first place and if this is actually telling the truth, given ICE claimed the exact same thing with Renee Good.

At this point, with the multiple killings that have taken place, the Government-sponsored misinformation and hate campaigns against Hispanic Americans, the creation of camps and commandeering of warehouses to hold immigrants, the mass abuse, rape and killings that have taken place in these camps, and the thousands who are disappearing under ICE and the tens of thousands who have been deported to unknown areas, it can now be reasonably said that the United States Government under Donald Trump is committing genocide against immigrants. 

It is the duty of every citizen now to take action against this administration in any capacity possible, to save our neighbors, to save ourselves and to save our country, because every day under this administration is a day our country could fall for good. 

(2/15/26) "DOW JONES HITS 50,000!!!!!!!!"

HEY EVERYBODY!

THE DOW JONES HIT 50K! 

THIS IS A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT AND MEANS THAT EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! 

NEVER MIND THAT THE DOJ IS IGNORING EPSTEIN VICTIMS, NEVER MIND THAT THE DOJ IS REFUSING TO PROSECUTE ANYONE IMPLICATED IN THE FILES, AND NEVER MIND THAT WE ARE RUN BY CANNIBALISTIC, SATAN WORSHIPPING PEDOPHILES WHO HAVE BEEN PLOTTING FOR DECADES TO TOPPLE WESTERN DEMOCRACY IN FAVOR OF CORPORATE INTERESTS!

THE DOW JONES IS OVER 50K!

WE JUST CAN'T WAIT TO KEEP CONSUMING AI SLOP AND WATCHING GOTH GIRL PORN WHILE ALSO STUFFING OUR FACES WITH MICKEY D'S AND SHOOTING HEROIN UP OUR ASSES!

USA!

USA!

USA!

But in all seriousness this nation is pathetic for letting this happen. The Attorney General, on national television, was exposed for ignoring Epstein victims and attempted to change the hearing to be about the Dow Jones hitting 50k, and she was not immediately impeached. She went back to work after this public humiliation of the United States of America.

Like...shame on you all. You let your nation die because you were too lazy to actually do something about the injustices it has perpetrated against the world for decades and were too complacent to do something about the cannibal cult that we now know runs the world. It is quite frankly astounding that this is the same nation that helped defeat the Axis Powers during WW2. If you people were alive then you would have collaborated with the Nazis to save your own skins and sell out Democracy. I hope it was worth it, you dopamine-addicted degenerates.

(1/30/26) "More Epstein files released."

On January 30th more Epstein files were released. 

Among the various revelations and confirmations within this new release, we now have confirmation that President Trump was involved in the rape and trafficking of dozens of young women and girls with Epstein. Not only that, but there are also parts of the files that suggest that Trump and other Epstein associates murdered victims, "[Blank] reached out to [Blank] stating [Blank] was dead and noted she was found with her head "Blown off" in Kiefer, OK. Officers on the scene and [Blank] stated there was no way it was a suicide."

This happened. These crimes unfolded. The most powerful people in the world were behind this. And the most powerful man in the country is trying to cover up his involvement in these crimes. He knows exactly what he did, and not for a single moment has it ever been implied that he feels any sympathy for the women he raped, the victims he helped murder, or the lives he destroyed in pursuit of his degeneracy.

Donald Trump is the evilest person in American history. In the long and storied history of America, from the arrival of the first settlers in Jamestown up to today, the evil and pure malice hiding behind the eyes of this pseudo-antichrist is unparalleled.  One day his name will be an offense to all who hear it and those who supported him will be ostracized and remembered for the fact that they willingly and knowingly spread lies, bullied, attacked, or even killed their neighbors, and dragged their communities down in service of a fascist rapist pig that could not care less about anyone except for himself.

(1/25/26) "Ice Murders and ICU Nurse in Broad Daylight"

ICE has now murdered two civilians in the month of January. 

This time they killed an Intensive Care nurse named Alex Pretti. He was legally observing ICE activities and defended a bystander that an agent attacked when multiple agents attacked him and eventually shot and killed him.

The Administration is also now lying, claiming he was brandishing a firearm and trying to attack the agents, slandering him in death as a domestic terrorist.

We have few words for this. We will keep it simple: This is the most degenerate and evil administration in United States history, and we need to remove them as soon as possible and bring them to justice. This sodomizing of the law cannot go unpunished while they commit these crimes with so little empathy and such flagrant dishonesty. 

Oh, and if you still support ICE and Trump after this, blood is on your hands and history will remember what you did. 

(1/14/26) "Iran's Tyranny gets its comeuppance"

Iran might be seeing another revolution and we are all for it.

After decades of religious extremist tyranny and terrorism across the Middle East, the people of Iran have finally begun to take the power back and fight against the Ayatollah's degenerate regime.

In response to the uprisings by millions of civilians, the Iranian regime has implemented a horrifying crackdown on protestors that has resulted in over 500 confirmed deaths, with reports of hundreds of bodies lying in streets and security forces opening fire on demonstrators. 

The Student Action Collective would like to state that we fully support the movement against the regime and hope that it ultimately leads to the end of the Theocracy in Iran and a transition to Democracy in the country, and hope that the country begins to rebuild from the consequences of the US-backed overthrow of Mosaddegh in 1953.

However, we also don't support the US and Israel's attempts to intervene in the uprising, as we see they are only using the uprising for their own gains and to attempt to gain influence in the region. If the US and Israel continue to meddle in the Iranian people's revolution, then the revolution will ultimately fail.

(1/4/26) "Trump bombs Venezuela and gives it to oil companies"

After months of continuing, reckless escalation and actions in and around Venezuela, Trump may have just started another forever war by bombing the country, capturing Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, leaving the rest of his administration intact, promoting and trying to install his Zionist opposition as the leaders, and giving the country's vast oil reserves to American companies.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Trump and the MAGA movement ran on a platform promising Populism and no wars, and now they have gotten us into a war for the purpose of enriching ExxonMobil and other degenerate oil companies and cheer it on as a good thing for the United States, forgetting Mexico, Samoa, Hawaii, the Philippines, Columbia, Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, South Korea, Syria (1949) Guatemala, Iran, Indonesia, Indochina, the DRC, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, East Timor, Argentina, Chad, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Libya, countries where collectively tens of millions of people are dead because of actions like this.

Why is it so hard to wake up and see what's actually going on?

Especially given that Trump is openly saying he is doing it for the oil companies?

Are we really that blinded by our own egos to admit we're wrong even when presented such concrete, damning evidence?

(12/23/25) "EPSTEIN FILES OUT! SORT OF!"

We honestly don't know what we were expecting.

The Trump Administration finally released the Epstein files, though most of it was redacted with black ink. Very few of these redactions had to do with protecting victims and instead were about protecting the predators that were associated with Epstein, including the Fuhrer Trump. 

The Justice Department also removed 16 pages from the files quickly after the release, probably to cover up additional information they did not want the public to know, especially as we have already figured out how to see these redactions. (Copy paste from the pdfs onto a document.)

We could write a long essay about what Trump did to women with Epstein and why he should be thrown in prison for the crimes against humanity he committed, but this is all we really need to say: If you still support this man, even with the overwhelming evidence against him, and even with everything that has happened to your neighbors' your co-workers; your fellow Americans; you are objectively an awful person, and those around you will remember what you did to America. 

(12/14/25) "16 Jews murdered by terrorists in Australia"

At a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, 16 Jews were shot dead by a father-son pair of gunmen, in the deadliest shooting in Australia in nearly three decades.

The attack is the latest in a surge in antisemitic violence in the face of Israel's invasion and genocide of the Gaza Strip. It is a sobering reminder of the less-discussed consequences of the war: The endangering and damaging of the Jewish community by a nation that claims to represent Judaism, but in reality, only uses them as human shields to get what they want.

The attack also demonstrates how much rebuilding and protection must be done for the worldwide Jewish community, as what happened in Sydney is by no means an isolated incident, but the product of thousands of years of discrimination that is now, once again reaching a boiling point which we may or may not be able to escape at this point. 

But some hope can still be found. One of the men who stopped the gunmen was a fruit shop owner named Ahmed Al Ahmed, clearly a Middle Eastern man. It's comforting to know that even in the face of atrocities such as this, and even in the face of rising antisemitism and hatred between Jews and Muslims, that there are still people with enough empathy left to save the lives of their fellow humans, no matter what religion or race. 

(12/7/25) "Conflict resumes between Cambodia and Thailand"

In a world with so much death and conflict surrounding us all at once, there is really no more need for the suffering brought on by war and political disputes.

But lo and behold, the five-month ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand has collapsed once again, brought on by both sides accusing the other of violating the ceasefire. Thailand has responded by striking Cambodia.

The reason for this conflict is a border dispute that has been ongoing since the 1950s, centered around three ancient temples. Somehow, these temples are important enough that the deaths of hundreds of people and the risk of a full-blown war are worth it to settle the dispute.

(11/30/25) "Trump declares No-Fly Zone over Venezuela"

It's clearer now than it ever has been before that America learned nothing from its two-decade long saga of fiascos in Iraq, as we are now seeing the exact same chain of events unfolding.

After numerous extrajudicial murders of Fishermen in the Pacific and the Caribbean, and the deployment of aircraft carriers and bombers off the coast of Venezuela, Trump has now taken the United States to war's doorstep by declaring a no-fly zone over Venezuela, just as Bush Sr. and Clinton did with Iraq in the 1990s.

Additionally, according to his favorite news outlet, Fox News, he has also given Maduro a demand to resign the Presidency or face unspecified consequences. Just as Bush Jr. did in the 48 hours before the invasion of Iraq. 

Trump's decision to escalate tensions and build up forces in the region for a full-blown war demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the crisis in Venezuela, and of international politics in general. A war will do nothing but destroy whatever stability Venezuela still has left, kill hundreds of thousands and destroy the lives of millions, strengthen our enemies in the region and weaken our ties with allies, and permanently damage our reputation across the world. It will be another addition to the long list of wars the United States has lost or failed to win since the first Gulf War.

(11/23/25) "Trump sells out to Russia again"

Three years and a half years after Russia invaded Ukraine, hundreds of thousands are dead, including civilians which Russian soldiers have slaughtered indiscriminately. 

One can have their grievances or preferences towards Russia or NATO as a whole, but in this conflict, it is incredibly clear who is in the wrong.

Except to Donald Trump and his Administration.

The US Government and Russia recently drafted and proposed a peace plan that is in essence Russia's Wishlist with few concessions in favor of Ukraine. Among the provisions in this plan are limiting the size of Ukraine's armed forces, the reintegration of Putin's regime into the global economy, and the cession of the territories Russia illegally annexed in eastern Ukraine.

If this is a joke, it is as unfunny as Amy Schumer.

It is a disgrace that confirms President Trump's reverence and submission to the same Dictator who bombed his own people to get elected in 2000 (Look up 1999 Russian Apartment bombings) and that America has lost what little credibility it still had on the world stage.

(11/16/25) "Donald Trump is allegedly Epstein's throat goat"

I never thought I would be writing this sentence.

I knew something was off about the Donald's lifestyle and preferences.

But I did not expect it to be this.

According to officially released Epstein emails, there are allegedly photos out there of Donald Trump blowing "Bubba", better known as the 42ND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON. 

Now, if Trump was openly gay AND single, then I would expect something like this to have happened, and I would have been totally fine with it. However, Trump and Clinton are and were both married. And have also been major harbingers of the destruction of LGBTQ rights in America. (Clinton signed Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, Trump...ah, I don't need to explain that)

So, the revelation that Clinton gave the Donald an Alabama Firedragon is a groundbreaking revelation that redefines the scope of homophobic hypocrisy, and also confirms we are living in the most insane timeline. My Senior Year continues to get weirder and weirder.

In the meantime, we continue to demand the release of the Epstein files and the legal ass-whupping of everybody involved with that monster. Send a letter to Trump, Vance, and your representatives here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/release-the-remaining-epstein-files?source=direct_link& 

(11/09/25) "Trump tries to cut off SNAP for millions"

Amidst the longest Government shutdown in American history, President Donald Trump has hit a new low by trying to fight court orders to keep SNAP benefits flowing through November for millions of Americans.

As the shutdown has dragged on more painfully than The Walking Dead franchise, funding for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) has gradually run out. The administration has had the chance to tap reserve funds to keep the program going through the month of November but has refused to do so. Trump chose instead to hold a Great Gatsby-themed party hours before this funding ended for the 41 million Americans on SNAP.

A Judge then ordered the Administration to restore SNAP funding, to which the Administration has responded by bringing the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

This is a matter of 41 million Americans going hungry; millions of families having to skip meals or cut back on essential expenses to get by; parents having to explain to their kids that they can't afford dinner and children going to bed hungry. The actions by Donald Trump, his sycophant Administration, and his remaining supporters have been absolutely abhorrent, and they must end as soon as possible before more lives are destroyed.

Send a letter to your Representatives in the House of Representatives and the Senate urging them to protect SNAP funding here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/save-snap-funding-from-the-trump-administration?source=direct_link&
