New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

If any women with years of journalism experience who have been trying to make a go of it on their own want to start a co-op with a feminist take on the news, please reach out!
I've been talking with several women with many years experience in journalism. We all want to work for an outlet, but none of us can even get interviews.

You're absolutely right about us needing editors to check or worse impulses, but I don't know what else to do.

Sometime this summer, I was listening to Taylor Swift, as I do most days now, and I thought, ooh, this song could actually make a fun writing prompt. 🧵(1/5)

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books

Naomi Beinart, 16: "We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman...Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday."
Opinion | I’m 16. On Nov. 5 the Girls Cried, and the Boys Played Minecraft.
On the day after the election, it seemed boys and girls woke to a new reality.

I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift albums like I’m cramming for a test in preparation for seeing The Eras Tour movie tonight with my second-grader. I wrote about my on-again, off-again relationship with TS over on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/shelleym...
