What an amazing, harrowing piece of writing!

Thank you for sharing this excerpt from Monica Potts' "The Forgotten Girls..."

This sentence was really stark to me, "A third of Arkansas’s population lives in a distressed zip code. These places, where the least educated white Americans are clustered, are unlikely ever to recover."

Texas Observer on Democracy Now!

The quite hideous Texas law banning water breaks and the rising death toll in prisons.

Tell me conservatives aren't promoting stochastic human sacrifice. Billionaires mean to kill us and Roger Hallam () is quite right, fossil fuels are genocide.

Objectivity was never really true, it just used to be support for the different factions of status quo was less challenged.

Knowing the bias is explicit is certainly easier to deal with than failed objectivity that ends up supporting said status quo that, in anglophone countries, is racing towards fascism.

I imagine that having their own server with a bunch of journalists on it and using a # would be the cheapest ad campaign possible.

But perhaps I'm over-estimating their appeal?

I'm sure a competitor will be along to show us whether that works or not. In the meantime, congratulations to .

The Texas Observer has been granted a reprieve from last minute donors. I am so relieved. This staunchly lefty magazine led the conversation for decades. I have some well meaning advice for its current guardians: take advantage of this moment in time. If the Texas Tribune and Texas Monthly have moved into some of your territory, now is the time pivot. Write as if it is your last issue, because you never know when that day is coming.

The Texas Observer is back in business! I'm ecstatic! We the people turned this around with our donations and loud yelling, and now they can go back to making Republicans miserable with the truth.
I donated in honor of Molly Ivins, who worked at the Observer for a few crucial years and kept them in her heart forever.
Here's the story:
