Power and the Passion
Welcome to the political blog of Amira Clarke — strategist, skeptic, and sharp-eyed observer of the systems that govern and grind us. Forged in protest and policy, Clarke dissects headlines, exposes hypocrisy, and maps the undercurrents shaping our collective future. No centrism. No euphemisms. Just rigor, fire, and a refusal to look away. Whether she’s breaking down legislation, calling out media spin, or amplifying the voices left out of the room, Clarke writes with one purpose: to make power visible — and accountable.

Every American buying anything from cars to clothes to canned tomatoes.
Why Men Should Support Raging Cows
Let’s get something straight from the start: Raging Cows isn’t for the faint of heart or the comfortably numb. It’s a fiercely feminist, brutally funny arts magazine that skewers sacred cows and serves them rare. It’s a rallying cry, a creative explosion, and, most importantly, a challenge — not just to women, but to men. Especially men.
The Man Who Would Be King
Here we are again: Donald J. Trump, the twice-impeached former President, indicted in four jurisdictions and still inexplicably upright, is now floating the idea of a third term — a direct violation of the 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. Presidents to two.
