This humorous form of protest, known as tactical frivolity, shows the absurdity of the charge that all the protesters are armed militants. In contravention of the Trump administration’s claims that…
We’ve known that sleep has cycles, but more research is showing that how we sleep is more nuanced and may exist as a spectrum.
