https://www.blackagendareport.com/cia-goes-hbcu This article had a strong start that made valid point that had me stringing along for a bit. However, after the 3rd paragraph the subject seems to change and feels as if it went on about a few random things about Trump finding anyway to go against black communities. The article first starts off speaking about the CIA creating a program within HBCUs in the south. The article is clearly very biased against the current president, however the author makes a few somewhat reasonable points in order to support his claim but later just turns into a rant. The article is written within a liberal black community that speaks their opinion on politics, the environment, education and multiple other topics.

Facebook has a giant loop hole that avoids uses from sharing and creating fake news. The site removed editable link previews 2 years ago, which are a way to share fake news. Link previews are normally what are seen on ad pop-up and news outlet links. They are often the title of the story or a small description of what the link leads too. However these link previews were once editable which led to fake news being spread. Recently a user explained that they found a glitch in Facebooks code that still allowed users to edit link previews if the link was being shared into a facebook group. the article claims that Facebook is aware of the issue and has yet to fix the problem. I can see how this is not a big deal since most information is not shared in groups. However if information is being shared in large political group it is understandable how this can effect peoples views and opinions. Either way i do not think one should be able to change link previews. It almost makes the link as u...

The Supreme Court aka the S.C.O.T.U.S. is an integral of the law system in the U.S.  The supreme court requires multiple steps to in order to get anything actually seen by the judges. Having a case seen in the supreme court isn't as easy as getting a case seen in lower courts and the possibility of the case making it that high are also slim. the case has to go through all of the lower courts and you have to have had appealed as many times possible before being able to write a writ of certiorari, however that does not guarantee that your case will be seen. It only means that it will go to the attorney general who will decide if it is worth going through another process in order to actually be heard. I came across the video while watching the video that was recommended, I really enjoyed how this video made complicated information into something that was easy to comprehend.

https://reason.com/2019/08/23/videographers-have-first-amendment-right-not-to-make-same-sex/ This article had a lot of interesting points that were made through out. The article is talking about a couple who make wedding videos in Minnesota. However they do not want to offer their services to same sex weddings as it does not align with their personal beliefs. This caused problems because the state of Minnesota said that they could not discriminate who they made videos for, and they argued back that doing so was a violation of their first amendment right. Later in the article the couple claims that they have stated that they would gladly work with anyone no matter the sexual orientation, gender, race, etc. So them saying that was very interesting to me because it contradicted everything they were fighting about. the state of Minnesota later went on to say that they had to make the video of a paying customer and make it in the same positive light that they would make a straight marr...
