We're the heroes in this story.

We're the people living in the heart of the beast, who likely hold the future of the human species in our hands.

Every person that stands up. Every blogger, every person that shows up for The March, every secret sympathizer.

And I think this site matters in that story. They shut us down that night. NO OTHER POLITICAL OPINION SITE GOT HACKED BY THE RUSSIANS. Tells you everything, right there.

Scary, scary stuff, but also kinda cool, because guess what -- we're not bored. We're not lost in ennui. And we get the chance to Win This Fight.

Take that fear, take that panic, shove it down or get it out, feel that blood surging in your veins, WE'RE STILL ALIVE, DAMMIT and we are at the Center of the Cyclone!

Of all the humans that have ever lived that have fought this same fight, we get Baby-Cagers! Goddamn is that a clean divide. Holy cow with these villains, some of who are ACTUAL NAZIS.

We get to be the people who win this fight. It's Big. The goddamned Biggest So Far!

Songs shall be written. Stories shall be told. Movies shall be made.

Long Live The Democratic Underground.
