"[W]hat would happen if Californians, for instance, simply stopped watching sensationalized news media, ceased their social media consumption and, for a moment, had an honest conversation with a political opponent? Might California finally boot the hundreds of policymakers who have enjoyed effortless tenure at the expense of a dying political climate from office? Might voters consider solution-oriented representatives more desirable than extremist, rhetoric-spousing bourgeoisie? Might budget freezes and reform gridlock be a thing of the past? Thinking of a world in which Americans welcome each other’s perspectives and work cooperatively to pursue moderate and effective solutions is almost fanatical. But, in reality, this fantasy is within reach" (Prasad). Download Forbidden Conversation  for FREE here:  https://www.mediafire.com/file/trt7nzlw9qyn8gp/Forbidden+Conversation.pdf/file .

Right now, there's a lot of tension going around about Dobbs v. Jackson (the leaked SCOTUS draft ruling which would overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey). To help demystify the case, I've prepared an outline of the first 6 pages of the ruling (the part which overturns Roe and Casey) for those who aren't entirely familiar with SCOTUS rulings, how to read them, Constitutional scrutiny, or just don't want to read a 98-page ruling. As a reminder: this ruling does NOT make abortion illegal in the United States, it only allows individual states and the federal government to pass laws regarding abortion with no interference from the court. Additionally, please remember that this is a DRAFT ruling and is NOT final or in effect yet. This is only intended to educate, not persuade. This is an objective report summarizing the draft ruling of Dobbs v. Jackson.  https://www.mediafire.com/file/48zocsm4u04b5ft/Dobbs_v._Jackson_Notes.pdf/file
