Hello, fellow Prospect readers. My name's Chris Cassidy, and I'm thrilled to be your friendly guest blogger this week. My work covers a broad swath of domestic and international issues, but my writing here will be all Egypt, all the time.
I live in Washington, D.C., which makes it easy to romanticize the culture and weather of the Bay Area that I left behind. Since law school, where I studied international law, I've worked on national security, reproductive rights, human rights, and constitutional law.
The American Prospect offers more than just breaking news or a list of occurrences. Writers here present timely, insightful analysis of the events driving headlines, placing developments in the context that a bright and hungry readership deserves. I'm grateful to share this platform for the week and humbled by the task of providing context for the jaw-dropping and dynamic situation in Egypt.
