In June of this year, Claire Valdez, a Democratic Socialist, won the nomination for US Representative from Brooklyn. The neighborhood of Fort Greene helped her triumph in her primary. This progressive neighborhood also falls in the State Assembly district of Phara Souffrant Forrest (she/her), another democratic socialist in the New York State House. This millennial won her seat in the fall of 2020, after she joined the Crown Heights Tenants Union because her landlord was going to convert her rent-stabilized apartment into luxury condos. A maternal health nurse, Phara is currently 9 months pregnant with her second child, and she is running on a campaign of single-payer healthcare, with her highest priority being black maternal health. Phara sums up her campaign, “I fight for tenants, immigrants, workers, and everyone who is left out of our capitalist system.”
The strength of the Democratic Party in Georgia is mostly thanks to the large population of politically-engaged African American citizens, mostly concentrated in the Atlanta metro area. Specifically, Black women, like Stacy Abrams, Nikki Merritt, and Kim Jackson are the strength of the Georgia Democratic Party. Merritt’s and Jackson’s Senate colleague Sonya Halpern (she/her) is running for re-election. After graduating from college, Sonya moved to New York to start her business career, steadily climbing the ladder. In 2011, President Obama named her to the the President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington DC, making her the chair of the committee three years later. Sonya works to strengthen her community and constituency by advocating for affordable healthcare, consumer protection, and providing pathways to employment for underserved youth.
Ask most men when they last wore a suit and the answer tends to arrive with a date attached: a cousin's wedding, a job interview, a funeral nobody wanted to dress for. Afterward the suit goes back into its plastic bag and waits, sometimes for years, until the next occasion comes around and it no longer fits the body or the mood.
Finding stylish, supportive swimwear that delivers on quality with an affordable price tag is all about shopping smart. For today's college students, dropping a small fortune on a single designer bikini simply doesn't make sense—especially when that money could go toward weekend beach trips, festival tickets, or creating memories with friends. It’s not about compromising; it’s about demanding real value: chic designs, durable fabrics, and flattering fits that skip the unnecessary markup.
Latin American fashion is not only beautiful; behind it lies a group of creatives who are transcending the industry through empathy, ancestral knowledge and artisanry. So, in honor of National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month, I have put together a list of sustainable brands that are making a difference through their work.
More people are using wallpaper the way they used to use art. Instead of hanging a group of framed prints, they put one bold, large-scale pattern on a wall and let it carry the room. It covers more of the wall than a gallery arrangement and takes less effort to put up. This piece looks at why that shift is happening and how to make it work in your own space.

Over my past eight weeks of studying in New York City this summer, I learned a new lesson seemingly everyday. Before then, I had only been on a handful of weekend trips with my friends where we squeezed in every Broadway show we could manage, took Ubers everywhere and never turned down a cocktail or a coffee.
Four years ago, we wrote up a profile on the candidate for this district. In 2022, that candidate was Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas. At that time, Brian Romero (he/him) was her chief of staff. This year, Jessica decided to run for New York Senate and won her primary in June, and at the same time, Brian ran for Jessica’s Assembly seat, likewise winning the Democratic primary in June.

There is no single feature that makes a personal injury law firm the right choice for every client. Some people may value direct contact with their attorney, while others may place greater weight on a firm’s experience, resources, or record of client service. These differences are worth considering before choosing legal representation.
The first crisp morning of September marks the beginning of fall festivities. For autumn lovers, it’s time to break out your cozy sweaters and pumpkin decor. However, before the season is in full swing, stop to consider how you can approach it mindfully and sustainably.
In a very special interview, we spoke to humanitarian, physician, activist and proud first-generation American Doctor Sarah Raza. She discusses topics close to her heart like the war in Iran, the importance of mental and physical health, stories and daily tasks from her highly demanding job as a physician in Los Angeles and more. She encourages everyone to be aware and involved in their political climate both locally and on a larger scale, and reminds people that there are always ways, big or small, you can provide support and assistance to those in need.
A car crash can look like a problem that ends once the vehicles are moved and the road is cleared. The body does not always follow that same timeline. Adrenaline can hide pain, and some injuries take time to become clear. A sore neck may become stiff. A mild headache may turn into confusion or dizziness.
A motorcycle accident can create many challenges beyond the initial impact. Riders may have to deal with injuries, medical expenses, vehicle repairs, insurance discussions, and uncertainty about what steps to take next. Motorcycle accident injury claims often involve reviewing different types of information, including accident reports, medical documents, witness statements, and other available evidence.
A complicated disability claim is rarely about one diagnosis or one medical visit. The real challenge often lies in connecting many pieces of information that do not seem related at first.
