We are thrilled at the responses to our birth announcement. There are still things to be learned about the nuts and bolts of making this virtual soapbox happen. Practice will make perfect and we’ll always be looking to expand our horizons.
If you’ve come here expecting a blast of hard hitting commentary on the latest political brouhaha making the rounds, please take a moment to look around. While there can be no doubt we live in an ongoing series of crises, becoming a resistance person means being well-rounded.
There’s plenty to say in the way of battleground commentary and it will make its way on to these pages as our contributors share their observations; just don’t expect us to be MSNBC.
