Why is our world so confusing? Why do we feel the need to shy away from learning about it, just because we don’t understand it? Often, it’s because all the news we hear, the articles we read, all of it is tailored to be understood by insiders– people who know the acronyms, know the history– people in the loop. This is where I come in. The goal of this column is to help you decode it all. No more hearing policies, politics, or political discourse and tuning it out.

Let’s talk about it.

Every two weeks this column will publish at least one unbiased, plain-language article on current events–especially those which tend to get lost in translation. You’ll be all caught up on topics such as new laws, regulations, policies being instated, changes to and within our government, and urgent announcements.

What is the current news on immigration policies? Why was Jimmy Kimmel laid off? How did the U.S. become involved with Israel? Whether you have a small understanding, no understanding, or know the answers inside and out and simply want a place to word it all into understanding, I’m here to help.

If you’ve never paid attention to things going on before, especially if you’ve never paid attention to things going on before, this is the place to find context for your queries, the when, the where, the how, the why, the everything you need to know in terms you’ll understand.

Stay tuned for the first story!
