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.

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.
