From silencing Zooey Zephyr to expelling the Tennessee Three, Republicans across the country are proving that they don't give a damn about democracy.

Let's call the GOP what it is: the American fascist party.

A state you’re not allowed to take minors out of to procure a legal medical procedure in another state is no longer a state and becomes a dystopian prison.

Idaho is about to become a prison for underage girls.

I hope this is a wake up call for people who aren’t taking this creeping christofascism seriously — they are coming for EVERYTHING that doesn’t fit into their worldview.

If you ever wondered what you would have done in WW2 or Jim Crow, you’re doing it now.

Just a couple of months ago, 'journalists' were decrying that mastodon/the fediverse was dying. Now we're saving proper journalism. Not only can journalists find a place here, but when they do, we do great things together.

We dared to do a mighty thing. We dared to show that proper journalism still has a place in America. Together, we don't just have to dare mighty things. Together, we accomplish mighty things. Live long and prosper, @TexasObserver #TexasNeedsAnObserver

“Among the unexpected sources of support for the magazine was the #fediverse—the collection of decentralized Mastodon servers that soared in popularity following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Many comments on the GoFundMe page mention that the donors learned about the Observer through #Mastodon—where the Texas Observer was one of the first journalistic outlets to set up its own server, @jamescanup said.”
