Project 2025 isn’t just another policy plan. It’s a blueprint to centralize power, sideline opponents, and impose one faction’s will on the entire country. As a Christian and a citizen, I find this vision both politically dangerous and theologically wrong. Democracy depends on people naming what’s happening and speaking up.

We Deserve Leadership, Not an Infomercial
Trump’s U.N. lines (“your countries are going to hell,” “I’ve been right about everything”) plus the Tylenol/vaccine/Amish/Cuba riffs aren’t one-offs. They’re part of a pattern of self-promotion and false claims that embarrasses allies and misleads people at home. I’m arguing for facts, humility, and real leadership instead of nonstop branding.
Kimmel, Kirk, and the Chill: Why Pulling a Late-Night Show Is a Bad Sign for Democracy
ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel after he criticized the political spin around Charlie Kirk’s murder. That is not accountability for hate speech—it’s pressure on speech itself. If regulators can lean, affiliates can flinch, and a network will fold, that chill won’t stop at late night.
Department of War or Department of Defense? The America We Choose Trump’s rebranding of the Pentagon as the “Department of War” and his threats against Chicago and Baltimore aren’t just rhetoric—they’re a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. Crime must be addressed, but turning troops on our own cities is not the answer. Americans must choose: do we want a country that protects its people, or one that wages war against them?

Trump’s “You’re Fired” Presidency: How Chaos and Loyalty Tests Are Reshaping Our Government A record-breaking pattern of firings, forced resignations, and loyalty tests shows how Trump is reshaping government into his own image — and why it matters for democracy.
Donald Trump has fired more top officials and gutted more agencies than any modern president. This post explores the record-breaking chaos of his first and second terms, the loyalty tests that turned government into a personal court, and why these actions threaten American democracy itself.
Erasing ‘Woke’ Isn’t Leadership — It’s Authoritarianism
Trump’s push to “get rid of woke” isn’t about a buzzword—it’s about controlling which histories and which people count. From pressuring museums to sanitize slavery to treating dissent as pathology, that’s authority talking, not democracy. We need the full, uncomfortable truth—and space to disagree—because erasing it endangers disabled people, Black Americans, LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants, women, and ultimately all of us.
Why Trump’s Push to Eliminate Mail-In Voting Threatens Democracy
Trump is floating an executive order to eliminate mail-in voting and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterms. It’s unconstitutional, dangerous, and a direct attack on democracy. Here’s why this plan matters—and why it threatens not just elections, but the rights of disabled voters like me.
Why Trump’s Cozying Up to Putin Should Concern All of Us
Trump just walked out of a summit with Putin calling it a “10 out of 10 success.” But when the U.S. gains nothing and Russia gets a PR win, can we really call that strength? This post is my take on why Trump’s cozying up to Putin should concern every American—especially those who once feared Russia the most.

Why Do So Many Still Believe Trump? A Personal Look at Facts vs. Feelings
Why do so many people still believe Donald Trump, even when his claims don’t match the facts? In this personal and fact-based post, I explore the gap between truth and rhetoric—covering everything from elections and the economy to COVID, climate change, and the rise in division and hate. Drawing on research, real-life examples, and my own experience, I invite readers to think critically about the cost of misinformation, and why the truth matters now more than ever.
