On a broader spectrum, there’s a podcast I like to listen to. I don’t know about you but I can’t really listen to a podcast that’s longer than like 10 minutes. i lose focus, my mind drifts away and they go from talking about immgration to something else eniterly. My go to podcast is NPR News Now podcast, which you can find on spofity or apple podcast. It’s a great 5 minute summary of the bigger news happening in the world. A great way to stay current while walking to class or heading to work or whatever it is that needs to get done.

Life can get chaotic, I get it, but it’s important for us at the end of the day to know what’s going on. There is a reason that President Trump went after jouranlists the moment he stepped into office, and why other people before him have done the same. We all know the old saying: knowledge is power. We can’t change things if we don’t know or understand what needs to be changed.
