www.thehandbasket.co is another that is absolutely worth supporting as the work @marisakabas.bsky.social and her contributors do is crucial now more than ever. Hard to go wrong supporting LC and The Handbasket together; news AND analysis without the capital interests interfering.

@theunpopulist.net is another. These folks are doing brilliant work too & from across the liberal spectrum as well. This is a moment where there should be less competition between publications doing positive work, and more mutual aid and coordination. To make the world we want, we must live it.

@theonion.com can’t be left out either. One of the few publications that has *consistently* called out bad or hypocritical behaviour wherever they find it. As they look to surpass WaPo’s subscription numbers this year, let’s help them. Let’s make the world a more coherent and well educated place.

@thebulwark.com is another. Fighting fascism is no easy task, and we must do it together, even as they seek to crush our coordination and mutual affection. Love always can overcome hate, but only if the love is focused properly; steam without an infrastructure to coordinate it simply evaporates.

@assignedmedia.org is another doing absolutely crucial work thanks to @evanurquhart.bsky.social and all those that contribute. Make sure you’re supporting them and in doing so, you are making a difference for folks who have been marginalized by our current media ecosystem for too long. No more.

Also, consider supporting our friends at @liberalcurrents.com. They're doing great work and could also use your support. Independent media that fearlessly opposes authoritarianism and illiberalism isn't magically self-sustaining. It needs people who care about the mission to support it.

We need a lot of help to build a platform large enough that strong liberal voices will no longer be ignored.

Can you find a way this weekend to share our fundraiser with someone who might be open to supporting it? www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...
