Reading Material
If you’re an avid reader, the following are some trustworthy websites for your reading pleasure, some of which have videos and streaming material of their own. I suggest picking a few to periodically check up on for your news, or if you don’t care about your sanity, visit all of them on a daily basis.
Please be advised that although I myself am bias - it’s important to note that the change in my political beliefs didn't happen over night, it took years. When it comes to the types of information you consume, its important that you find outlets that tell the truth, that focus on the who, what, where, when, why, and how as best as they can. The truth can have layers and is not always so simple, that's why I feel it is important to consume the material I have linked throughout this website. In regards to the United States, it's crucial that you DON’T resort to the red/blue game. This is when you solely blame the other party or simply resign yourself to supporting one over the other, because you believe that doing so is merely advocating for the lesser of two evils; nothing will get better by continuing to do that. I will warn you however, that some of content here, as it follows the facts - doesn't hold any punches, it may even upset you but that's good, being angry is apart of the learning process. And finally, as much as I want everyone to be on the same page, it unfortunately takes time for people to unlearn what they've been told to believe.

Although the books are shown below are free, you may have to spend some money on software if you want them to be read out loud to you. The following are some websites I found that will go over your options. However, whenever downloading any form of software, be sure you have solid protection on your computer before running any new application and also do the advanced set-ups to make sure unnecessary junk isn’t downloaded as well.
