BitMart is thrilled to announce the launch of the second season of its acclaimed “Vote to Earn” program on September 20, 2023. After the triumphant debut of the inaugural season, this upcoming phase is set to deliver even more engagement and innovation, reaffirming BitMart’s dedica...

I’ve had discussions about politics before with family members about why they feel I’m crazy to vote Democrat. I’ve heard the usual semi-racist and bigoted reasonings until I wanted to jam icepicks in each of my ears or take a straight razor to their tongues. “Don’t ...

Another day, another story about white nationalist Nazis spewing hate and rhetoric publicly in broad daylight. These “fine people on both sides” as Donald Trump once referred to them as, are masked because being openly racist and hateful can lead to you getting fired from your job. Ov...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (Nov. 1) — “Folks, it’s great to be with the next governor of Florida, Charlie Crist!” President Joe Biden called out from the stage. As the Nov. 8 election draws near, Rep. Charlie Crist stepped out to speak to the public the importance of voting, with...

Tomorrow — one more time — I’m asking for your vote, to serve you for four more years in the City Council. (We’ve got some other questions on the ballot, too, which I offer thoughts on below). I don’t take it for granted, not for one minute. This district takes de...

There has been an incredibly contentious election in the news cycle, one of the most divisive and shocking in New Zealand’s short history. It involved underhand tactics from foreign actors to influence the outcome and cause a historic upset in our beloved, arguably most discussed, election. Of...

Most people’s pensions are invested in companies. That is so their money grows with the market and they have enough when it comes to retirement. It’s standard practice. However, shareholder activist group As You Sow have begun to ask American companies to assess whether their ...

Iblame John F Kennedy, although Reagan and his buddy Bonzo didn’t help. Arsenio Hall letting Clinton play the saxophone also turned out to be a bad precedent. But in my mind, it was really the Kennedys: John, Jackie, and Bobby, that screwed modern American politics for good. Ever since, we&rsq...

With the recent 2020 election in the United States coming to a close (or should I say closed?), the arguments about the electoral college are flaring up again. Every four years, citizens in dense population areas argue in favor of either changing or abolishing the electoral college system, citing th...

Once again, the overkill of commentary and instant analysis of the New Hampshire primary results leave us knowing not much that we knew going into the first primary vote: Donald Trump is the continuing choice candidate for Republicans, despite a good show for Nikki Haley as a less chaotic alternativ...

The right to vote is mentioned five times in the U.S. Constitution. The right to own guns and to free speech, just once each. And yet it is one of the easiest of our rights to lose, so much easier than those other inalienable rights — to post hate speech, say, or to buy a semi-automatic weapon...

I am obviously speculating here. Abortion had plenty to do with the lop-sided outcome in the Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. But as school shootings keep happening, and gerrymandered state legislatures keep stonewalling, I believe more and more young voters will act on what those shootings did...

Much of the commentary about the Voice has been taking the short-term (dare I say non-Indigenous) view, looking at the next few decades. In this essay, I'd like to look at it with a scope that covers a more appropriate period for a permanent feature of our body politic — the next couple of...
