As our Editor-in-Chief @gabrielarana recently wrote, "There’s so much work left to do in Texas, and we’re nowhere near done challenging extremists and the money threatening democracy." In order to survive into our 70th year, we need to raise over $300k by the end of December. You can be a part of that by joining, or renewing your membership with the Texas Observer today: https://hype.co/@texasobserver/zdmn6ya7 #TexasNeedsAnObserver #JournoLife #nonprofit #fundraising

For those wondering, the press.coop NPR relays are still working. (@NPR and @nprpolitics)

(because they use the RSS feeds instead of Twitter. See also @cbcworld is still up, presumably for the same reasons.)

Huh, that Mastodon-account-spotter Firefox plugin just found Crooks and Liars official instance on here. Some of their writers have accounts here too:

I just retooted my previous boost about @texasobserver.social and their fundraiser, and they're almost halfway to goal! So if you're able, now's a great time to get on this.

Sustaining something is harder than saving it, so now is the time to step up. #news #newstodon #newsbians

I just realised that @TexasObserver outlasted Tucker Carlson xD

Anyway #newstodon you did a great job of saving them from bankruptcy, now's the time to sustain so they can keep going and not have to do that shit again.

Saddle up! :D

You all stepped in _massively_ to save the nonprofit Texas Observer - an early Mastodon #news media presence - from going under.

Now's the time to help them keep going.

This is why you _do not_ just _accept_ this shit. It _does not have to happen_.

TWO DAYS. TWO. FUCKING. DAYS. IS ALL IT TOOK.

I mean sure, now there's a longer-term effort, and that'll have to work too, and hey @TexasObserver you really need to get that Patreon spun up and running for reasons we talked about before.

But today?

Two days.

Two days to _victory_.

Don't just accept this shit. You don't have to.

This here? This is called _proof_.
