RFK Jr & Vaccine Denial: Why He’s Dangerous for America 🇺🇸 | Karel Cast 25-119Vaccines aren’t political—until politicians like RFK Jr make them partisan. I know firsthand the importance of questioning medicine, but let’s be honest: vaccines save lives. The data is clear, the science is proven, and yet RFK Jr and red states like Florida are trying to make vaccine mandates illegal.The problem? Diseases don’t stay contained. His attacks on the CDC, his outdated views on autism, and the wave of

Trump’s Health Questions Grow: Why Isn’t the Media Asking? | Karel Cast 25-118Donald Trump vanishes for days at a time, his legs appear swollen from venous insufficiency, and his hands often look bruised. At nearly 80 years old, these could be normal signs of aging — or indicators of something more serious.Trump and MAGA made Biden’s health fair game, yet the media stays largely silent on Trump’s visible health struggles. Why the double standard? Shouldn’t the public demand answers? Is he just

No Middle Ground Left: Why Debate Has Become All or Nothing | Karel Cast 118In today’s America, there’s no middle ground anymore. Yesterday, I — a proud, gay activist with trans family members — was labeled a transphobe simply for having a nuanced opinion about trans athletes and transitioning timelines. Instead of discussion, the immediate reaction was to attack.Even Governor Gavin Newsom has faced backlash from the extreme left for daring to agree with Charlie Kirk on certain issues. If you don’t

The Real Threat: Straight Male Violence vs. Trans Scapegoating | Karel Cast 25-117The right is in an uproar after a trans Catholic school shooter in Minneapolis killed two people — using it as “proof” that trans people are dangerous. But let’s look at the facts: only 2 killings by trans people this year vs. 244 killings by cisgender straight men. And tragically, 28 trans people have been murdered in 2025 alone — mostly by straight men.So why the outrage? Why the scapegoating? The numbers don’t lie:

Evil Triumphs When Good Stay Silent | America’s Crisis of Cowardice 🇺🇸⚠️Every day in America, evil is winning — not because it’s stronger, but because good people stay silent. A vocal minority pushes tyranny, ignorance, and hate while Congress, corporations, and even judges remain quiet. From fat-shaming debates over airline seats to outrage over a Cracker Barrel logo, it seems all you have to do is bark long enough and loud enough… and decency caves in.Meanwhile, the President wastes time picking

Are Fat People Really To Blame? | Southwest Airlines, Incivility & America’s Compassion Crisis ✈️Southwest Airlines is requiring plus-sized passengers to buy two seats so they “don’t spill over.” But here’s the real question: why not just design a few rows of larger seats? Instead, society blames fat people for being fat, ignoring the bigger issue — an industry and culture that lack compassion.This episode of the Karel Cast digs into more than just airline seating.

I Want More Than Rainbow Sidewalks | Equal Rights, Not Empty Gestures 🌈🇺🇸Florida and other states are painting over rainbow sidewalks — but here’s the truth: LGBTQ+ Americans don’t need symbolic gestures. We need equal rights, protection under the law, and an economy that works for everyone.This episode of the Karel Cast calls out politicians like DeSantis who focus on erasing symbols instead of fixing real problems. Equality isn’t about sidewalks or flags — it’s about being treated like any

But survival isn’t enough—we must actually live.So what do we do when it feels like every action ends in futility? What can liberal Americans do when democracy feels broken?

AI Proves Social Media Is Destroying Us | Karel Cast 25-112AI just confirmed what we already feared: social media is toxic by design. Platforms aren’t about connection — they’re echo chambers of rage, built to make us hate-scroll, click ads, and consume endless misinformation.Even more shocking? Scientists tested a social media network made entirely of bots. They tried fixes like chronological feeds, flagging, and more. The results were horrifying — rage, division, and chaos spread no matter what

Being human means being conflicted — and today I’m tackling two issues that have me torn.First: SNAP benefits may soon exclude snack foods, sodas, and chips. On one hand, we face an obesity crisis and need healthier choices. On the other, should poor people be policed on what they can eat while the wealthy buy whatever they want?Second: Algorithms are shaping how we see race. Why do viral videos often show Black people “acting out,” while similar (or worse) white content isn’t pushed as widely? Is

After Over 2000 Years Restaurants Are Dying | Karel Cast 25-109For over 2,000 years, restaurants have been places to connect, celebrate, and explore new flavors — from ancient Greek taverns to Parisian cafés. But today, America’s dining scene is in crisis. In the first half of 2025, restaurants and bars saw one of the weakest six-month sales periods in a decade. Food costs are up over 20% since 2021, and some of my favorite spots have lost more than 30% of their business.What’s causing the collapse
