Early voting in Hudson County is over, but you still have time for the county primary election on June 6, 2023, and here’s the youngest name you’ll be seeing on the ballot: Stephanie Martinez (@so.phanie ) 👀

Martinez had been contemplating running for some time. She recalled taking part in one of North Bergen’s local public meetings and asking Mayor Nick Sacco on what the town is doing to prevent climate change catastrophes.

After receiving a response she felt was unsatisfactory, she was finally pushed to run for the 8th District seat after she attended the county meeting where the Board had scrapped their original plans for the Boulevard East redesign.

What kind of influence has Andrew Tate had on youn

What kind of influence has Andrew Tate had on young men? We’ll tell you, but it’s not a good one…

Tate is part of the rise of the alt-right and has become a symbol of internet-based misogyny.

The alt-right is a loosely organized political movement, mostly based online, that frames itself as an “anti-establishment” force that pushes against the “woke agenda.” Some members of this community may refer to themselves as “red-pilled” because they foolishly perceive themselves as fighters against political correctness.

The NBA Finals are here 🏆 But most sports analysts didn’t get it right…

This matchup will continue the streak of a different NBA Champion each year since 2019. During this period, the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors were all crowned as champions. Now, either the Nuggets will capture their first championship, or the Heat will capture their fourth.

Let’s take a look into each of these teams and how they made it to this point - read it in the link in our bio!🔗

The only notable accomplishment that has eluded Anthony’s career was winning a championship in the NBA.

Despite this, Melo’s impact on the culture of basketball on-and-off the court seals his legacy as one of the all-time greats.

#talkaboutit • “Lilo & Stitch” was Disney’

#talkaboutit • “Lilo & Stitch” was Disney’s first representation for indigenous Hawaiians, but the recent castings for the 2024 live-action have received a lot of backlash.

Though the animated movie and series did well in portraying authentic Hawaiians, after Agudong and Machado were casted for the live-action, it sparked outrage and a hefty debate about colorism in the entertainment industry, which has happened more times than not, especially in Disney adaptations like 2019’s live-action “Aladdin.” Agudong has been reported to have Native Hawaiian ancestry, but many have argued that the role should’ve been given to a Native Hawaiian with a darker complexion.
