Think about everything you did yesterday. Now imagine how the day would have gone if you didn’t have the internet. Access to the internet isn’t as universal as you might think. Millions of Americans don’t have access to broadband, because of either where they live or what they can afford. But there’s another big, more insidious factor: politics.

Rani wrote about low-income Americans’ access to broadband.

And Emily wrote about what it would take to get widespread internet access across the country.
