Our first post

a beginning

Disclaimer: This account is run by two people– @maru7024 and @aalx. We are good friends with different political views: Maru is a little more left-leaning than Alex, keep that in mind when viewing our posts. Viewpoints might differ.

(please)

What topics will this blog cover?
We will be primarily covering national news (U.S.), giving you all updates on the Trump Administration, but also covering international news that we hope you will all be interested in. These might include policies about foreign relations, the economy, climate change, social media, and political take/analysis. The main focus of this blog is supposed to be politics, but we aren’t opposed to widening the niche a bit. (With other topics)

Things About Us:
We’re a duo of high schoolers who are heavily interested in politics, finance, and other major policy issues that some Americans might be a little misguided on. (We might be too, feel free to leave comments telling us what we got wrong) Also feel free to start threads in our chat section– insightful political discussions are what it’s meant for. We also understand that Substack is left-leaning, and if there are any righties who discover this– take our stuff with a grain of salt, we respect you and understand some of your narratives too! (Might be talking to a wall)

What can you expect from us:

We try to make weekly articles– but in the way of schoolwork, activities, and life in general– we can’t make any guarantees. We’ll be usually writing with a leftist-leaning narrative– but keep in mind that this is our first time ever writing a blog, so we’re trying to make content that’s as factual, nuanced, and consistent as possible. We’ll also be sharing other creators’ content that we find interesting and relevant in this current day and age. (In the form of ‘ReStacks’) Even if only ten people find our commentary insightful, we’ll take it as a win. We’re just here to share information with the community and stuff, maybe also gain some followers.
