It seems like practically every day there’s a new, politically polarizing issue to whip people on all sides of the spectrum up into a frenzy. There are long-standing issues, like abortion, climate change and gun control, and there are always new issues cropping up, too, like the sequester, Obamacare, or Edward Snowden.

It’s easy to go to your favorite news source to get a perspective on each of these issues, and you no doubt have your own opinions and predilections; I know I do. Most of your friends, colleagues and associates, in fact, likely share the same stories and reports as one another with you. l But have you ever tried using Trapit to discover a hotly-charged political topic?

Well, if that happens, Trapit has a great tool for you: simply tap on the thumbs down button for the article from the site you don’t want to see again, and when your options come up, tap on the dislike source option.

Something is afoot in the world. In most first-world countries, when people have grievances with the government, you fully expect the right to assemble, protest, and speak your point of view. You’re not surprised when local, state or federal law enforcement show up to keep the peace. But when the police begin attacking citizens, when there are thousands arrested, injured and brutalized by their own government, the world needs to know.

And even if you don’t hear much about it from the New York Times, Wall Street Journals, or the BBC, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a worldwide uproar happening. Luckily, Trapit hears all of it.

Protesters have presented their demands to the government, and even the government’s most ardent supporters are speaking out against their deplorable actions. From economic implications to the silencing of free speech, to international ramifications and the possibility of an uprising, Trapit captures it all.

Follow along and get all the news with our Turkish protests featured trap, and let us be your field guide to controversial events that you need to know more about. All the information in the world is available at your fingertips; with Trapit, you’ll never be under-informed again!

No matter how far humankind or our technology progresses, we’re still at the mercy of natural disasters. Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Volcanoes and more are still among the most destructive forces ever unleashed on Earth, and when a powerful enough one threatens to hit, there’s no good defense other than evacuation.

What ensues afterwards is a deluge of information, and following the conversations you care about can be an infuriating, mind-boggling task. Unless, of course, you’re savvy enough to let Trapit do the work for you. When one of the worst tornadoes in history ripped through Oklahoma earlier this week, no other news source captured as many high-quality voices as we did, from the formation of tornadoes to protecting your kids at school to how unpredictable they are to the science behind them to how it looked from space!

Tornado Alley, as it’s known, remains a tremendously perilous place, but there are stories of heroism and serendipity among the carnage, and Trapit continues to capture it all. The death toll due to the Moore, OK tornado has recently been lowered, a rarity in a natural disaster like this, thanks to the bravery of rescue workers. Keep up on all the news as its uncovered with Trapit’s Tornadoes featured trap, where we’re committed to bringing you all the best coverage from all around the world!

It’s Autism Awareness Month, and here at Trapit we’re passionate about bringing you accurate information about this widespread condition. Scientifically proven to be completely unrelated to vaccines and vaccination (despite scientific frauds who contend otherwise), autism is not a disease but is simply a hereditary condition that requires acceptance. Kids with autism do, in fact, have a wide variety of special needs, but there are a whole slew of resources for coping with autism.

There’s no reason that having an autistic child means you can’t have a happy, healthy family. Many different therapies abound, from psychiatric to animal to robot therapies and more; consult with a doctor to find what’s right for your family. (Resources for adults with autism are also available!) Plug in to the conversation surrounding autism with Trapit’s Autism featured trap, where we’re working to help raise awareness of this affliction, while dispelling the harmful myths and misconceptions that surround it. We know you’re working hard to get it right, and here at Trapit we’re committed to that 100%!

It’s not just a show on CBS; the Big Bang Theory tells us where all the matter and energy in our entire Universe comes from! From stars to galaxies to the unseen dark matter that holds the Universe together, the Big Bang describes the origin of it all! One of the most exciting discoveries of the last half-century is that we can observe the leftover glow from the birth of our Universe, and we’re about to release the best-ever measurements of it, courtesy of NASA’s Planck satellite.

You can always check Trapit’s outstanding and diverse Outer Space trap for the latest news about the Universe, but for a limited time only, you can keep track of all the reports on the Planck mission’s results and the large-scale Universe in general in our Cosmology featured trap!

Will the new observations still be consistent with the Big Bang? Will they teach us anything new about dark matter, dark energy, or the origin of our Universe? And — perhaps most excitingly — will there be any surprises in store? Follow along in both the Outer Space trap and the Cosmology trap to keep up with it all!
