While news deserts have garnered much attention, #DONews and #DOFeeds pose a digital solution to a well-informed global public 

In many regions, newspapers persist but are so depleted of original local reporting that they no longer fulfill their critical role in serving their communities.

is this the cast of the new major motion picture version of  the president’s 17 angry men?

The legal status of women in America, compared to other countries, was equal to that of men, but not in the U.S. Congress.

There are 9 women state governors, 6 Democrats, and 3 Republicans; there are 17 lieutenant governors, 10 Democrats, and 7 Republicans. Women hold 31.0% of the seats in state legislatures.

Welcome to one nation as Senator Bernie Sanders says rapidly becoming an oligarchy run by billionaires out to steal tax dollars.

I have no political affiliation but as an independent voter I am concerned about the land of the free and home of the brave, while the rest of the developed nations of the world enjoy universal healthcare, free education, more paid vacation time than any of us receive… etc. 

"Babel" is a metaphor for the fragmentation of our society on multiple levels, not just between political divides, but within institutions, relationships, and even the self. The shattering of communities in the modern world is a profound theme in current cultural and political struggles. The scattering of languages and the loss of a common understanding captures a key issue in today's world: the breakdown of a shared narrative. The red and blue America seems to be diverging in how they view history, the Constitution, and even the fundamentals of truth and justice. This fragmentation goes beyond politics and deeply affects academia, media, and personal relationships. We're seeing how people with different beliefs and worldviews can no longer converse in the same language, figuratively and literally. Online platforms amplify this divide by fostering echo chambers, where individuals are rarely challenged by alternative viewpoints, further entrenching polarization. This fragmentation also manifests in institutions like universities and corporations, where ideological purity sometimes trumps intellectual diversity, and where conversations about values, ethics, and social responsibility become increasingly polarized. In families, conversations about politics or identity can tear apart long-standing relationships, as each person is drawn into their ideological silo. "Babel" isn’t just a story about political or cultural division; it’s about the erosion of a common foundation whether that foundation is language, shared values, or a shared sense of belonging. When everything that once held us together begins to crack, we face the challenge of whether or not we can rebuild those connections or whether or not the fragmentation is irreversible.

News of the hack began trickling out in September, but the American government waited weeks to confirm the reports.

Only this month did it begin briefing members of Congress and the media. Officials say a Chinese hacking group dubbed Salt Typhoon compromised at least eight of America’s telecoms networks.
