I have been at a loss for what to say lately. If there is anything I can urge people to do at this time of instability, it's to stay informed through multiple reputable news channels/websites. Yes, all media has some kind of bias, but that is not necessarily a bad thing as long as you recognize it. I also highly recommend that everyone seek out and read news that is biased against their own personal beliefs. Find out what the other side thinks, and why. Find out and think about how and why they are spinning the same info you are hearing from other sources. Check the source and cited material to validate its accuracy and context. Question if something doesn't seem right. Turning a blind eye is no longer adequate. In addition, seek out and make note of what has happened that is not being reported and consider why, especially when some big shocking event seems to be happening that is dominating the news cycle. This is obviously trickier, but having multiple news sources helps with this. Pay attention. If you don't, you deserve what you get.
