Stop playing around, podcast platforms. You’ve got work to do!
Social media giants are under more pressure than ever to clean up their content, but what about podcast platforms like Apple, iHeart Radio, Spotify, and more? We’ve seen congressional hearings, countless investigative reports, and leaked documents pointing to the ill effects of big social media on all aspects of society, and I’ve talked about what we…

We should all be a little more “woke”
To conservatives, there is no four-letter word more vile or offensive than “woke”. The mere mention of it agitates right-wing media to the point where they will waste a good portion of their on-air time ranting against the “Radical Left” and its “woke” agenda.

The death of George Floyd, the death of Daunte Wright, and other similar cases…

Opinion: How do we improve Facebook’s impact on society? By forcing it to do better
The pile of evidence showing the harmful effects of social media continues to grow. Much of the blowback is falling on Facebook amid allegations it ignored its own research that showed its site’s negative impact on people, especially children. Public blowback has gotten so bad that Facebook changed its corporate name to distance itself from…

Opinion: Dispelling the myth about “cancel culture”
Of the GOP’s never-ending list of grievances, which is longer than even the receipts given out at CVS, cancel culture is at the top. Republicans love to complain about how “the left” is trying to cancel anything and everything. Politicians like Missouri Senator Josh Hawley and Ohio congressman Jim Jordan spend more time bashing liberals…
