It is if you stay tuned into these outlets. Pop culture is not healthy, it is exploitative. Its greatest strength is emotional manipulation. I can't relate with the collective "we" in this article. I feel a lot more stable an

I am not a Republican nor a Democrat supporter, anyone can see the level of partisanship over this is nauseating. Plenty of people are going hungry and missing housing payments, we have a depression era economic crisis. Still people eat up

There is something enlightening and deeply inspiring about how protesters in Ecuador were able to detain the police themselves and order them to unequip their riot gear. Among the crowd they were presented as equal to the protesters. Many r

Police officers and police departments are made up of all ethnicities, same goes for the owners of capital. Not all who profess faith are true to their teachings. Just look at how the teachings of Christianity were used to colonize America,
