What are your go-to news/opinion stops each day?
Most are probably like me and end up reading from a lot of different outlets each day. One of the great things about forums like this is that people share things from all over the place. We are directed toward these sources by others sharing them.
At the same time, most of us have our own stops we make each day. These can be news organizations or full on opinion outlets.
Mine:
CNN
NYT
Al Jazeera
Black Agenda Report
Tampa Bay Times
Of course I read from a much larger group of outlets. Those are simply the places I take myself to each day.
What are yours?
Thanks for playing.

What Police Impunity Looks Like
They came into his own home and took his life for no reason.
As officers converged on the scene where Trawick lay lifeless, two of them told a sergeant that nobody had been hurt. Just a perp.
We already know the case of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd is an anomaly. Officers who kill civilians are rarely prosecuted, let alone convicted many arent even disciplined by their departments.
To understand how police impunity works, its worth looking at another case, that of Kawaski Trawick.
