Americans have a penchant for underdog stories, a narrative that Hollywood has mastered over the years. Superhero movies, a staple of American cinema, consistently depict the United States as a force for good. However, it’s crucial to scrutinize this cinematic portrayal against the backdrop of the country’s complex geopolitical history. While Hollywood has painted the U.S. as a beacon of righteousness, reality reveals a more nuanced narrative. The underdog image cultivated on the silver screen often contrasts with the United States’ historical support for regimes with questionable human rights records. Critics argue that the nation has, at times, allied with rogue governments for strategic interests, raising questions about the alignment between on-screen heroics and real-world actions. Furthermore, the allegation of the U.S. engaging in interventions to secure natural resources cannot be ignored. Instances of military interventions in sovereign nations have fueled debates about the

Dear Palestine, At times, it pains me to think that in your world, we might seem like mere shadows. My heart aches as I acknowledge the profound failures of humanity, the wounds inflicted upon you that may be too deep for forgiveness. They’ve seized your land, torn apart your people, and subjected you to air, land, and sea blockades, surrounded by high fences and unyielding cameras, a constant intrusion into your existence. Poverty and unemployment shroud your land in a cloak of despair, and the haunting echoes of PTSD haunt the innocent minds of your children, robbed of the joyous innocence that should define their youth. Before October 7th, the world remained oblivious to your struggles. But now, we stand with you. We amplify your voice, boycott, and march tirelessly for your freedom. Yet, a lingering sense of helplessness persists within us. You, however, have become the embodiment of resilience, revealing the world’s blatant unfairness. The so-called human rights are but lies, in

UNMUTE GAZA has transcended borders, seizing the Guggenheim in New York, adorning buildings in Mumbai, and streets throughout Spain—its impact spanning 21 countries and 31 cities and counting. In its latest move, the project collaborates with renowned American artist Shepard Fairey , adding his creative prowess to an international roster of visual artists, who are creating posters for the public to print and paste worldwide. As of December 17th, the Committee to Protect Journalists has declared the deaths of 64 journalists and media workers, 57 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese; making Gaza one of the deadliest conflicts for journalists in recent memory. Meanwhile, Reporters Without Borders are accusing Israel of committing war crimes against journalists who are providing a critical check on wartime propaganda in the age of fake news. UNMUTE GAZA emerged as a creative response to government and media silence, and the misinformation that followed. Born out of the deafening silen

Canadian Artist Kevin Ledo worked with the ladies of Girls Inc. in Lynn , Massachusetts to bring awareness to the pressing problem of climate change. In his mural, below the question, DO YOU REALIZE? Kevin painted a portrait of a young climate activist named, DeeDee. The overwhelming consensus among publishing scientists that climate change is a real and human-caused phenomenon, with 97% of them in agreement. This consensus is based on extensive research and scientific evidence pointing to the impacts of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, on the Earth’s climate. Despite the widespread acknowledgment of climate change, the response to address this global challenge has been slow and insufficient. The visible consequences of climate change, including wildfires, hurricanes, rising sea levels, poor air quality, and a decline in biodiversity, not only pose immediate threats to communities and ecosystems but also have long-ter
