Very interesting reflections by Mnar Muhawesh, founder of The MintPress News.
Mnar Muhwesh: To my friends who have been asking why I don’t post on social media anymore:
I reached burn out from covering US empire & it’s atrocious war crimes abroad for the last 12 years.
After this social media detox, I feel human again.
