A friend told me about this moments ago, and I immediately signed up for the annual subscription. I am trying to support this with my money and my enthusiasm. Now that all the major publications seem to be bending the knee to Trump, this is crucial.
Great intiative! Long live the resistance - against ignorance, racism and autocracy - and most of all: against the attempts to unravel the democratic precepts and institutions of the country!
Wow! Jennifer Rubin was the only reason I kept my WaPo link on my desktop. Now I can head out of the darkness that has descended on that publication. Michael Waring Edina, MN
One important thing (imho): @HeatherCoxRichardson calls the Muskoswamy thing DOGGY, with a totally straight face. I urge us all to do the same! Gotta take our hits where we can!
I call it "Dodge", as in dodge & delay. We shouldn't be calling it anything, or giving it any credibility, since it isn't a legitimate committee or department.
I am so thrilled to support this endeavor to beat back the fascist takeover and build a stronger pro-democracy movement.
Kudos for leaving WaPo!
We The People must not obey in advance nor allow the far-right propaganda machine to desensitize us to their blatant authoritarian maneuvers. We cannot continue to normalize the crazy!
I shared Jen's post on FB about resigning from WaPo and this is what I said: "Jen Rubin was one of the reasons I stuck with WaPo. Now I'm reconsidering. And although I didn't need one more substack, it didn't take me even a minute to consider adding this one—I signed up right away. We all need to keep our fingers on the pulse of what the hell is going on, and this substack is going to be a great way to do it." Vive le veritas (pardon my massacred french and latin).
Took me 12 seconds to decide to subscribe - another weapon in the battle against the oligarchs (enabled by trump) who are stifling objective information
Jen Rubin resigned from WAPO and I cancelled my subscription. If she is ready to move on, then so am I. Anything that refused to normalize Maga is where I'll be. Jen's views are exactly the same as mine. No corporate media! No more! I am sorry and shocked that these steps are necessary but they are absolutely needed. My thanks to those who made this place available to souls like myself. I can't refrain from supporting all of these efforts.

Exactly what I did.
I hope many more do to give the founders the means to keep this site going and serving it's intended purpose.
👍🏻🙏🏻
… due to your constant spam abetted by your general lack of productivity, please refund my $70 year long subscription. Die another day.

Thank you, Jennifer and Norman. This is needed. I am looking forward to fair and balanced reporting with my subscription.
As soon as I heard, I signed up. I hope my friends do too.

Good!
Yes! I love that as I deleted my accounts on both those sites back in November.
Also: FABULOUS list of contributors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just dropped my subscription to WAPO, too. Welcome sunlight!

I've been referring to Elon Musk as Leon Skum for quite some time. Anagrams FTW!
I call him Elmo…
I call him lonE skuM

My daughters and I call it "Bad DOGE."
I've called Musk Leon or Elmo for quite some time now. I call Vivek only Ramasmarmy because he is. 😏
Thank you, Jen & Norm.

I support this effort to shed light on the darkness that is trying to over take our democracy.

Yay! THIS news is definitely worth it! You two are news angels!
Now go find Ann Telnaes. She would be a great addition.
Yes! I am so hoping they are already working on that!
Thank you for this badly needed publication.
I am so excited about this venture and just subscribed. Thank you Jen and Norman and the incredible list of contributors! Yea!!!
