A starter pack for people who prefer not to live in an echo chamber
The news you were waiting for...

I’ve added people to my 'Outside the box' starter pack which features accounts who think across partisan lines.

Those on it have ideological sympathies, but are open to diverse traditions and consider issues from case to case.

Please share!
