There has been a flurry of news this week that really does matter and make a difference in our lives. However, we are so content in just scraping the surface of things when we really need to be remembering our civic virtues. President Biden’s speech about the ceasefire plans, a historic deal, was overshadowed by his remarks of Trump’s conviction of yesterday. It was a massive loss by the president. We cannot get distracted by the clickbait so much that we forget to have the real conversations that will make the change we need in the world.
