Opinions are like…bellybuttons
This space is for voices that don’t always get a seat at the table. It’s for truth-tellers, question-askers, and those who see the cracks in the system and dare to speak up anyway. Our opinion page isn’t here to play respectability politics. It’s here to challenge, to provoke, to shed light—and sometimes, to hold the mirror up to power.
IT SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING, ALL OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE SOLELY THOSE OF THE AUTHOR AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT EACH INDIVIDUAL’S OPINION HERE, OR THE SITE AS A WHOLE’S OPINION.
We’re not claiming moral superiority, and we’re not pretending to have all the answers. What we are doing is creating space for lived experiences, thoughtful analysis, and the raw honesty this moment demands. Whether we’re unpacking policy failures, calling out hypocrisy, or spotlighting community voices, our goal is simple: speak truth, stir thought, and plant seeds of change.
Some of what you’ll read here might make you uncomfortable. Good. Discomfort is part of growth. We welcome thoughtful disagreement, but not willful ignorance. This is a space built on accountability and mutual respect. If you’re here to learn, reflect, contribute, or challenge—you’re in the right place.
We amplify perspectives that often get dismissed. We’re not neutral on human rights, racial justice, reproductive freedom, democracy, or the truth. If that makes this page political, so be it. We believe silence in the face of oppression is a choice—and we’ve made ours.
So, read on. Write in. Speak up. This is your invitation to engage—not just with the words on the screen, but with the world around you.
