If you're still on substack, you are letting techbro dildos use your left-leaning journalism to launder right-wing extremism and it's just a terrible idea. You should stop doing that
NEW: Since giving NYT hacked info from a Nazi and sending a swastika push alert, Substack's extremism is in the spotlight again. An investigation finds Substack is a haven for newsletters dedicated to white supremacy—with the co-founders' blessing.

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer.
Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.
