​Topics include:
The recent viral video of "local news anchors of stations owned by the conservative television empire Sinclair Broadcast Group across the country reciting a script warning of 'biased and false news'” (watch the video here). 

LA HB727, "To create a crime"- the Louisiana government's response to people using their voice and using their power. LA HB727 is legislation effectively attempting to penalize protestors- those who stand up against a pipeline going through their backyard and native lands and polluting their water, those who stand up for equality, freedom and fairness.
