Regardless of one's immigration status, everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy freedom and the same opportunities as others. It's inhumane to oppress people without dignity or care just because of their ethnicity, religion, or language. Borders shouldn't dictate people's lives, and it's alarming that many people born with the privilege of freedom feel justified in others suffering as though they don't deserve similar opportunities.

With so many wars going on at the moment and the apparent ineptitude of world leaders dealing with the issues, one can't help but notice some of the failings and alignment with corrupt dictators for their gains. The world belongs to all of us, not a select few fascists.

The purpose of life, and the misery of death, is a mystery to most, causing uncertainty and anxiety in many, but we need to make peace with the fact that life comes to an end. While we don't know how long we have to live, how our time ends, or where it will happen, ultimately, it doesn't matter. How something ends and its timing doesn't change that endings are inevitable. However, sometimes reflecting on and understanding why things happen helps to find meaning in tragedy and loss.

Every day America under Donald Trump's administration resembles Nazi Germany, whereby the Nazi's revoked peoples human rights, citizenships, and placed them into concentration camps. Whilst we should actively learn from history, it's madness to repeat some of the world's worst moments and consider it normal with wild arguments to validate the corruption and mindless pursuit to exterminate people's lives based on an unhinged leader's fantasies. Trump looks to be going down in history, but not in the way his delusional mind thinks.

Too many people mistakenly think that raising awareness against corrupt, inept, and evil decisions made by countries or political figures is then an endorsement of their opponents. However, that's not the case. Regarding Israel and America's attack on Iran on the supposed directive to remove their nuclear weapon capability, there's an apparent hypocrisy, considering those countries also have those weapons. So, it's not an endorsement of Iran to raise awareness of the violations against them but showcasing the issues within regimes and brazen policing of other countries with no accountability for their actions and dictatorial decisions within their own countries.

America's influence around the world is akin to that of previous empires, and, like all empires, it inevitably comes to an end. Eventually, the world evolves as new powers emerge with new ways of living. America tends to need wars to validate its military spending, exude dominance and demonstrate technological advancements.

America's continual interference with other nations may eventually be its downfall. It doesn't help that Trump, an impulsive and inept leader, makes terrible decisions regularly domestically and worldwide, affecting not only Americans but others' lives too.

Recent peaceful protests throughout America substantially outshone Trump's birthday military parade, demonstrating that the people have had enough of his administration, from the corruption and lies to violating people's human rights and inflaming the cost of living crisis. With the people uniting against the authoritarian state Trump began to build, change seems inevitable.

While the people demonstrate, Congress had been holding officials accountable through questioning, showing their determination for answers while revealing the incompetence of those Trump has assigned to high-ranking roles. Change takes time, but this is a poignant moment in America's history where change seems inevitable.

The imbalance between government executives, including President Trump, and the majority of the country, including officials such as senators, governors, mayors, and everyday people, is alarming. Whilst Trump and his cronies brainwash loyal supporters, others recognise his lies as evident disparities from the truth. People can't trust Trump to lead by example, be honest or have any moral compass. Instead, Trump seems intent on creating an authoritarian state, removing freedoms and replacing them with suppression and corruption. While people stand up for their and others' rights through protests, it shouldn't be misconstrued as riots, as that merely falls into the trap set by Trump to fulfil his agenda of exaggerating to enact new laws and policies that erode American society further.
