I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

there are two options. we can allow the democrats to continue providing funding support for these operations as they rationalize it away as a sad but inevitable reality, or we can eliminate these operations and memorialize them as a shameful chapter in our history alongside japanese internment
Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.
Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.
We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

Summarizing this post for the Bluesky peeps:
Benton School was one of the oldest public schools in St. Louis. It moved to Kingshighway in 1893 as a 4-room schoolhouse and by 1896 was operating as a 3-story, 12-room school. In 1953, it became a Black school and you can guess its fate.

Bringing over this amazing IG post from @hyperhouse.bsky.social. I remember riding down Kingshighway as a kid & being obsessed with this building that was the virtual twin of my elementary school. Soon both of them will be gone. 💔 www.instagram.com/p/DUOiyy3joQ...

lot of confusion about what a general strike is as opposed to a boycott — in a general strike, usually one sector refuses to go to work, and every other job sector follows — you don't actually need huge union density to achieve this, but it helps
