People will say “indie media subscriptions are unsustainable.” You know what’s unsustainable? Netflix buying all of Hollywood. Healthcare costing a mortgage payment. Rental markets forcing people out of their homes. Giving indie media a few bucks a month so it continues to exist? That’s freedom.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

How is Adaptation Finance Faring Post-USAID?

And I thought *I* was having a tough day....

they're saying there's a spectre haunting europe and it's very nice, we're looking into it strongly, it's beautiful, we love it and we think it means well

Pretty crazy to see Wall Street just coast on vibes. No real government jobs data, no objective measurements, just headlines about everything costing more than they’ve ever cost and every small business being shuttered

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

I'm so bored of seeing Bill Gates face on every climate-related story from the last two weeks. That's it, that's the post

What are 50 of the world's top banks saying about climate adaptation? Which lenders are taking climate shocks seriously? And which are keeping their mouths shut? 🏦Find out with @climateproof.news Global Bank Climate Adaptation Assessment 2025: www.climateproof.news/p/are-banks-...

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

lol. lmao.

Certainly, this is a serious election with serious consequences, but this endorsement is also so, so funny www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Evergreen sentiment here from the one and only Matt Levine

Oh look, San Diego beat NYC to the punch on socialist grocery stores.

It's past time we Millenials inherited the Earth.

ok if Zohran upends the standard age curve of vote propensity in a second consecutive election we're gonna have to start talking about something happening here

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

The man is cruel and deranged and the media is falling over itself to hide this from view www.allyourscreens.com/latest-news/...

"The government is closed. The President is MIA." My question: why should I pay federal taxes?

🇬🇧 A UK financial regulatory and business forum just dropped a blueprint for embedding climate resilience in finance. From sovereign risk to new products, here's what to watch:

Doesn't this, for all intents and purposes, turn the US Army into, um, a mercenary force? Because it's being paid for by "some guy"? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

In his foreign policy, Trump launches illegal attacks, murders people, and starts pointless and destructive trade wars. Is that what Douthat wants at home? Because he’s already getting it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Trump is exercising more power for a fake emergency than Lincoln did for a real one.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

David Cross folks.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

ON BARI WEISS’S PODCAST AHAHAHA

Are we ready to get off Substack NOW? a16z about to have major stakes in TikTok, Substack, and Meta. If that's not consolidated and convenient control of the media control, i dunno what is www.wsj.com/tech/details...

I for one love to have my nation’s content moderated by like the same five guys with close links to the belligerent ruling faction

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

This is as good as everyone is saying it is.

In a showpiece event they have been trailing for weeks, with the added publicity boost of this week's murder in the USA (which was all over British social media) they still couldn't get more numbers than Trans Pride. Not only are they smaller than Palestinian solidarity marches...
