7 Quotes That Prove Bernie Sanders Should Be Our Next President

I am proud to admit that I indeed feel the bern. Bernie Sanders is what this country needs. Though at one time quite unknown, Sanders has been gaining popularity faster than any other presidential candidate. I've never seen someone speak to the younger generation the way Bernie does. On my college campus, the amount of Bernie stickers, buttons, and shirts is incredible. We need Bernie. If you're not convinced, these quotes will show you that Sanders is who can save our country. And if the quotes don't get you, the supporting pictures will have you sold.

1. "Millions are unemployed and our roads and bridges are falling apart. If we can spend $6 trillion sending people to war, we can spend $1 trillion to put Americans to work fixing our nation's crumbling infrastructure. Let's rebuild America and create jobs."

2. "I am going to do my best to try to create a country in which children are not living in poverty, in which kids can go to college, in which old people have health care. Will I succeed? I can't guarantee you that, but I can tell you that from a human point of view, it is better to show up than to give up."

3. "What the American people want to see in their president who not necessarily can win every fight, but they want to see him stand up and fight for what he believes, take his case to the American people."

4. "A land where millionaires and billionaires have never had it so good, while tens of millions struggle just to survive is not what Christianity is about. It's not what Judaism is about. And it's not what America is supposed to be about."

5. "You know, I think many people have the mistaken impression that Congress regulates Wall Street. In truth, that's not the case. The real truth is that Wall Street regulates the Congress."


6. "If you can't afford to take care of your veterans, then don't go to war."

7. "Finally, let's understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white, Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win."


Just look at that smile! But if you're still not convinced, or maybe you're still leaning more towards Hilary Clinton, just remember who always has been.



Bern baby, bern.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
