I not only fully support Talia’s work, but I choose to channel my paid subscriptions to journalists who kick Substack to the curb.
Talia does great journalism and - although I know there is also a lot of great journalism on Substack - has done the right thing by migrating to a platform that doesn't promote nazis
It's pretty painful because you lose the discoverability of Substack; if you've got some money to throw at her, do

According to Reps Jayapal and Swallwell, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, including WI’s Tom Tiffany, Scott Fitzgerald, and Glenn Grothman, voted today to allow the Trump Admin to deport U.S. Citizens.
I never want to hear any of those 3 talk about the Constitution ever again.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

4 years ago when Trump wouldn't commit to accepting the election results, it was a big scandal that dominated headlines. Now, Republicans are saying "we'll see" about accepting the results on a daily basis and are met with shrugs. This is how authoritarianism becomes normalized.
