- whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
- if you figure it out, @ me
- "that's just a newspaper" "that's just a magazine" "just form a co-op, it's easy" no, it's not, and you're driving me nuts. the idea is to pay one fee to have access to separate publications. if it were easy, we would've done it already.
- "this exists" no it doesn't "it won't work" bye "here's why that's a bad idea" also bye i've run my own thing for almost four years and there's a lot i don't know but i've learned some shit. i think a bundle subscription would be a net positive for independent journalism.

- Reposted by Marisa Kabasagain we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
- something i would like to know is what, if any, role jeff bezos is playing in the trump administration's acquisition of giant warehouses across the country.

- Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.
- Has anyone created a tracker for the ICE warehouse purchases that have been confirmed?
- Reposted by Marisa KabasHighlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
- Reposted by Marisa KabasI sat down to do my taxes yesterday for the first time as a #smallbusinessowner, and like any good writer, I instead wrote a blog post It's what I've learned about subscription models over the past five months and a bit about the numbers of this newsletter. www.foiaball.com/p/why-i-want...

- In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.
- Powerful testimony from ICE watchers in suburban Minnesota:
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- super interesting. walton is a democratic socialist who beat the incumbent in the 2021 democratic primary for mayor of buffalo but was defeated in the general by a big money write-in campaign.
- independent media or bust.
- the guy who financed a propaganda film about the nazi first lady is killing a newspaper that writes unfavorably about her and her husband. this is how the club works.

- we need every grain of sand in the gears. every single one.
- Reposted by Marisa KabasFucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
- the only time i ever listened to smartless was years ago when jennifer aniston was a guest and when she was talking about how much she loves hosting friends at her house one of the guys asked if that made her feel less lonely bc she doesn’t have kids
