We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you.

Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters.
We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously.
Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul.

I'm in a hotel lobby listening to some middle aged women decked out in alumni college gear talking about epstein and trump and how the conservative christians aren't really christian and that if they don't denounce trump it shows that their beliefs are lies.

The writing I want to read on this week’s file dump is from a (former?) sex worker because I think they likely offer a unique point of view on powerful people’s relationship to people (including minors) they perceive as sex toys and sex servants

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.
