Greg Gerritt said...: Last fall I stated quite clearly that if Trumo won the election that he would be arresting progressive, leftisits, commuity, activists etc.. People were aghast and said that no such thig would ever happen. I hate to say I told you so about such a horrible situation, but I promised then and continue to stand on the idea that I will continue to say Triump is trying to kill us, boil the jpalnet, tamnk the e3conomy, p0llute the air and water, starve kids, and commit treason.until I get arrested. I am still saying it, and the day Trump goes after us gets ever closer.; March 25, 2025 at 5:27 PM

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Sam's one of the few independent voices left. The press today is either extreme or special interest or else just establishment, an extension of the corporate spirit -- Sen. Eugene McCarthy,

One of a small group of whites with whom many blacks would trust their political lives - Chuck Stone, Washingtonian.

A reputation for wit, intelligence and anger. -- Claude Lewis, Chicago Tribune

Smith is an island of reason and information in a sea of narcissistic blather. -- City Paper, Washington

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
