I'm working with other creators to make a much bigger pro-democracy media network. Your support -- by upgrading to a paid subscription -- will help us build this future NOW.
I just asked on Dan Rather’s “Steady” site, why a group of awake and aware journalists and writers couldn’t get together to offer us one subscription to political, legal political, and other news, so we can get truthful news somewhere. Especially for those of us in DC now that WAPO is complete garbage. It gets expensive subscribing to multiple sites to get information that isn’t through the Trump filter. I hope you are able to put together a good group. We need a reliable news outlet that reports reality, not conjecture or even lies. Hope this will be it! Thanks for this effort.
Tristan, i really appreciate your work. i am unable, with 810/month (ssi/ disability) income to subscribe to Any substackers. (i do sometimes repost, as i do for pro-democracy posts, health permitting. admittedly, the pledged coming efforts to eliminate social security and medicare are not helping my health, knowing i am but one of millions in this predicament is not helpful either.) i hope the many concerted efforts will keep true democracy alive here.
Substack is a good way to promote independent journalists
However one needs to grab interest of more people, non voters etc
None of them use Substack
You guys need to get together & Connect with YouTube (even TikTok) so it’s easier for people to discover Substack etc to help you
Pretty much all the bat shit illegal stuff being done now can go viral
We can do this (get disinterested lazy people to listen) so that they wake up to the reality that they are the reason why we have a dictatorship & we hope they can lift a tiny finger to help stop it
Yikes -Unbelievable! Cenk said he’d draw a line if Trump wouldn’t commit to no military defense-but Trump explicitly denied that -and Cenk said he “liked that” - “he didn’t mean it “
Cenk is the exact type of person that Brian is talking about-can’t shake their worship of Trump no matter what- killing someone on fifth ave or whatever is no big deal
Upgraded and shared this to my Bluesky account. It's alarming that the billionaire bros and BROLIGARCHIES stepped in and ponied up MILLIONS to get Felon47 in the WH so they can keep getting richer.
Where are the pro-democracy heavy hitters with some cash lying around?? I know there are so many causes and groups and activists and everyone is being pulled in an expensive direction. But for some us, we don't have tens, hundreds, thousands or millions of dollars to donate to several causes. Sorry just frustrated and angry.
Wish I could. Marc Cuban is creating a new tic toc. Allison Gill PhD. MSW channels are creating their own platform. I suggest you get on board with an existing group. Remember all this is energy consumption. I am excited that Allison is bringing Tim Snyder on to her Jack. You make an assumption that existing platforms aren't pro democracy. I say join forces. That's in my view the future.
There is s dearth of left wing media....it's a media cemetery! Without good media we only talk to each other not to the country and the world. It is more necessray at this moment then money to candidates ...who raise millions and still can lose because
nobody got the message unless they spoke to them! Media with great messages can reiterate what the candidates are saying and get coverage locally , nationally and around the world. We can come up with our equivalent to Joe Grogan!!! What's the sense of have great ideas and great messaging if you keep it to yourself? Right now we have almost zippo newspapers totally supporting the Dems...and the future is def on line media, not hard copy papers and magazines. I'M IN ,TRISTAN!
I’m unable to become a paid subscriber as I’m living in a homeless shelter with my son now. I’ll always be a non paying subscriber and will support all you do, Tristan. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all! 🙏
Anyone who leads with fallacious claims of fascism isn’t a proponent of “democracy.” That label will be used to try to attempt to persecute political opponents, though few are buying it but the radical left wing base which has showed that their support for “democracy” is qualified when things aren’t going their way.

How about all the groups with the same idea team up and unify. Can you arrange that Tristan?
Give Marc Cuban a call.
Just who I was thinking of!!!!!
Also, maybe Mike Bloomberg can help out?

Yes, Tristan, I will subscribe, but I can’t do so until I receive my Social Security check in February, 2/19 to be exact. I’ll do it then.
Will.substack be safe?
How will having more things to read, more videos to watch help us defend democracy?
I'd rather see money go to civics education or legal teams fighting lawsuits or financing campaigns for candidates to replace the scoundrels.

Here to help & to thank you for all that you do. Just bought an annual subscription
I’m unable to become a paid subscriber as I’m living in a homeless shelter with my son now. I’ll always be a non paying subscriber and will support all you do, Tristan. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all! 🙏
Hard to know which of the new media outlets to support financially.
Done! Thank you for all you do, Tristan!

Substacks has gone to hustlers unless you have a tech group.
