As we cut off the once-respected outlets that willingly bent to fascism we need to rally and raise up the new outlets doing the kind of journalism we want to see in the world. What are the sites, blogs, newsletters, accounts, etc that you think are doing the work and deserve more attention?

I keep telling people that we’re in a race between delivering accountability to the Epstein class and their ability to raise private robot armies. I am dead serious.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

And this will enable some to turn a blind eye to injustice. “*I’m* not biased. The *AI* made the decision.” We will see more willful abdication of responsibility until something undeniably catastrophic happens.

Text from a fed employee: “We are truly alone.”

"I don’t get paid if there’s a shutdown but shutting the government down and putting up a fight is preferable to giving in." "Every single one of my colleagues supports a shutdow." "Everyone I know in my office was hoping the Dems would grow a spine and shut the government down."

Democrats only needed to say “The GOP controls the House, Senate, and Executive. If they want to pass this bill that strips the rights and services of Americans, they’ll have to do it on their own. We will NEVER vote to kill Medicare, Social Security, or deny help to our brave Veterans!”

This is y’all’s king?! THIS?

Five Teslas were on display on the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday afternoon, and President Donald Trump said he would buy one. A White House official said the president is paying for the vehicle with his own money. wapo.st/3DCxCkn

Y’all don’t realize it yet, but they’re destroying all the anti-corruption laws. They’re legalizing their crimes. You’re running out of recourse and you don’t even know it. 😤

Trump’s brain is boiled dogshit and everyone’s pretending that this fucking farce is okay.

Trump: "Like on tractors that can handle anything from hurricanes to lightning to anything. They use magnets. It's a new theory -- magnets. They're gonna lift the planes up. And it doesn't work."

Sports betting is complete GARBAGE. I cannot stand how much damage this shit has done to families, the culture, and sports as a whole. Would love to see it all shut down.

Substack is going to keep on substacking unless writers move their newsletters elsewhere and we as readers stop reading people’s substack newsletters. We all have a part to play in taking this fucking platform down and making sure independent journalism stops being laundered through a nazi bar.

Hey you with the pro-democracy anti-authoritarianism newsletter that you’re publishing on Substack! Yes you. Move your newsletter to Buttondown, Ghost, or beehiiv. Why are you intentionally publishing your work on a platform that funds Nazi speech? Stop doing that please.

SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

Seeing 404’s headline about the firing sparked the memory of a WSJ article from end of last year (pasted here) . Clear takeaway: STOP COMPLYING IN ADVANCE. You will never bow and scrape enough to appease the fascists. Stand in truth. Stand in honor. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
