Women's Work Hidden by Patriarchy and Capitalism: Honoring Historical Craftsmanship Contributions
We exist in a time when the gender pay gap is expanding. Recent studies indicate that women earn less than men, and the pandemic has exacerbated the pay gap in various nations. This disparity continues because there are fewer women in high-paying leadership roles and because women predominantly work in lower-paying industries.

Although this practice is gradually decreasing, it still exists.

The Cult of MAGA . Content Warning.
When you hear the word cult, what do you think of first? For most, the word probably conjures up dark images of charismatic serial killers or clandestine rituals done in the dead of night. It's a misunderstood concept that mystifies and terrifies many, but why is this? People are fascinated by cults because of the psychological and sociological aspects that influence them. It's not an easy idea to define or understand, of course. Although some cults are easily understood as such, others are a little more subtle.

In a move that has sparked widespread debate and condemnation former President Donald Trump now back in office has signed an executive order authorizing the transfer of certain migrants to the U.S naval base at Guantánamo Bay Cuba. The order announced on January 29/2025 marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's immigration policies and reignites discussions about human rights national security and the rule of law. The executive order targets migrants who are deemed high risk or potential threats to national security. According to the Trump administration this includes individuals with suspected ties to criminal organizations terrorist groups or those who have been involved in violent activities. The order also applies to migrants who have entered the U.S illegally and are awaiting deportation proceedings. Guantánamo Bay long associated with the detention of terrorism suspects will now serve as a holding facility for these migrants. The administration argues that the base's remote location and existing infrastructure make it an ideal site for detaining individuals who pose a security risk. However critics argue that the move is a blatant violation of international law and human rights standards.
