An Open Letter to America: Don't Let Donald Trump Happen Again

Bright Green

In Michigan, 90,000 people voted down ballot, but refused to vote for president. They couldn't vote for Donald Trump because he's atrocious but they couldn't vote for the system that has screwed them over for 30 years. I was laughed at when I said in July, it's insane not to call Donald Trump the favorite. Now everyone is hurting because no one took it seriously. Today, I am warning you, democratic loyalist, if you allow another neoliberal to become the nominee again, if you turn a blind eye to corruption, if you attempt to silence dissenting voices, Donald Trump will be the president for 8 years. I know it seems crazy, 8 years of Donald Trump? It's not crazy at all. People thought Donald Trump wouldn't run for president and he ran. They thought he wouldn't enter the debates, he entered the debates. They thought he wouldn't win a single primary, he would a primary. They thought he wouldn't wouldn't win two primaries, he won two primaries. They thought he wouldn't win the nomination, he won the nomination. They thought he wouldn't be president and... we get the picture. So right now, I am warning you, four years away from the next election that if we do not learn our lesson, Donald Trump will be our president for eight years.

It appears right now that people have not learned their lesson. They are blaming James Comey, third parties, and sexism for Hillary losing. Well, Hillary would have still lost in the swing states she lost if the number of third party voters that said they would vote for her in a two party race voted for her. It wasn't sexism. Fewer women voted for Hillary Clinton and a lower percentage of women voted for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. Had the amount of women who voted for Obama voted for Hillary, the results may have been different. Don't blame James Comey because you should have never been behind a candidate with an FBI investigation. You should have demanded she stepped down. You didn't treat Donald Trump as an emergency. You treated him as a joke. You said he had no chance of winning and laughed at anyone who said he would. If you do not learn from what you did this election cycle, no matter how bad Donald Trump will be, he will be our president again in 2020. I'm here and I'm ready to fight. No plans on moving to Canada. What will you do?

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
