Let us not take inspiration from comrade Mamdani

By Evan Wang | October 10

As the New York City mayoral race enters its final stretch, it is looking increasingly likely that, without anything drastic happening, Zohran Mamdani will be crowned the eventual winner — and a lot of progressives are excited. Mamdani, relatively new to the political scene, is expected to shake up the Democratic scene with his youthful support base and socialist policies. While this might win him the election in overwhelmingly leftist NYC, it should not serve as a blueprint for Democrats across the nation as they try to win back Congress this midterm season.

Wake up, America

By Evan Wang | September 16

Just this past week, conservative organizer and internet personality Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University while holding a political event. No matter your political leanings or personal beliefs, we should all agree that the assassination of a political figure of this magnitude is and should always be utterly unacceptable in these United States of America.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is stupid

By Evan Wang | April 25

May is just around the corner and with it comes the beginning of AAPI Month. This convoluted acronym officially stands for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. However, in my experience, you’ll be hard-pressed to find many Americans, much less Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, actually celebrating an event dedicated to them. AAPI Month remains a useless holiday used to virtue signal fake acceptance of these populations as part of the “diverse” American dream.

Diseases are making a comeback — we need to take action

By Evan Wang | April 11

On a quiet summer day in 1978, then-40-year-old medical photographer Janet Parker came down with chicken pox, or so she thought. Within nine days, Parker was admitted to the hospital, being too sick to stand. She had developed sores that covered her body, blinded her eyes and caused renal failure. During this horrifying ordeal, Parker’s father suffered cardiac arrest due to stress and died, while Parker’s boss committed suicide, believing he had allowed the virus to leak from the lab where he and Parker worked. Soon, Parker developed pneumonia and could no longer respond verbally. Exactly a month after her symptoms first appeared, Janet passed away.

A WWE executive’s dreams of killing public education

By Evan Wang | March 6

President Donald Trump recently proclaimed that U.S. schools are “last in education out of 40 [countries],” but “No. 1 in cost per pupil.” Despite both of these statements being false, Trump is clearly determined to lift our nation’s failing public education system out of the gutters. More than one in three public school students are behind in grade level, while around half of Americans say K-12 education is going in the wrong direction.

The Conversation: Musk, the apprentice

By Evan Wang and Sadie Roraback-Meagher | February 19

Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya there Evan! Evan Wang: Hey Sadie! Sadie: I hope your week has been good so far. I don’t know about you, but for me, looking at the news this past week has been … what’s the word? Panic inducing? Nauseating? Just flat-out horrifying? But hey, at least that ...
