The editorial team needed a break before jumping back in with both feet. We promise that we have read each of your messages and emails (and were truly touched by some).
The news keeps coming in fast and furious, more race based physical assaults, more cars and homes defaced by crudely painted swastikas. 200 Nazis held a conference right outside our Capitol and Nazi-saluted while chanting Donald Trump's name.
It is a surreal period in American history and is only going to get.....weirder.....so....hang onto your hats, folks. We'll be here for you, writing, compiling, fact checking, calling local police departments for clarification, and not sleeping or eating that much.
We do want to confirm for those who have asked, while we acknowledge a much broader disregard for civil liberties and a free and open democracy illustrated in the media (particularly, the treatment of legitimate journalists such as the New York times and the constant companion of Trump's children, who are allegedly in charge of the 'blind trust' running his considerable holdings), we are, choosing for now to focus on those assaults on human identity, whether it be race, ethnicity, orientation, religion, gender identity, etc.
