Read MoreCards Against Humanity game is wrongly named; actually unifies players and provides outlet for sensitive discussions
At this point in our lives, we have all probably heard of the highly acclaimed game Cards Against Humanity, but is this game really “against humanity” as it asserts?

On July 23, the 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that federal agents in Portland, Ore are blocked from “dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or targeting force against journalists or legal observers at protests.” This order is a victory for the media and the protection of the First Amendment’s freedom of the press, especially as it pertains to news coverage of these protests which otherwise would have seen information suppressed and altered to fit the narrative of the federal government.
