By whatever business model, I don't expect journalism will keep doing work for AI to train on and summarize skipping ad views

I used to post free learning content--helped me grow audience--AI now gets credit for anything not paywalled, brings no traffic. So I stopped, as I won't work for Altman etc

The IRS Says Churches Can Now Endorse Candidates. That Could Give Texas Pastors More Power Than Ever. While the IRS move applies across the country, Texas — with more than 200 megachurches — will be the epicenter for pastors and congregations to test out their new influence, one expert said.

Texas is expected to be where IRS’ new stance on religious leaders endorsing candidates will matter most, one expert said. More than 200 megachurches call Texas home.

“Texas will be the epicenter for testing all these ideas out,” the expert said.

Tomato workers in a field

Tomato workers in a field

These San Joaquin Valley tomato workers get up at 3am to prepare for the day. They start early because of the heat. Their buckets weigh 25lbs when full. They run carrying them across the rows to get to the dumping station, so they could harvest as many as possible. #WeFeedYou

Opinion | Trump’s demand for a new census is unconstitutional — and logistically impossible The barriers are simply insurmountable.

The Constitution is plain. So is Trump's intent. He wants to re-write the rules and re-draw district maps all over the country so that Republicans can rig elections. This is unconstitutional and unAmerican. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

August 9, 2025 Last Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposted a video in which Christian nationalist pastors express their opposition to the idea of women voting.

A reminder that “the United States government is not, and never has been, based in Christianity” but rather supports the fundamental right of “freedom of conscience”https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-9-2025?utm_medium=web

I never thought we would have a President and a Republican Party cheering on Russia. What can you do?

1. Attend your local party meeting. It might be boring, folks might be old. Bring your energy, ideas and mutual respect. Folks have been holding the line and we need everyone.

The Ongoing Moral Catastrophe in Gaza and US Complicity

House ending session early as Republicans clash over Epstein vote The House is leaving Washington early as Republicans clash over the Jeffrey Epstein files. House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Epstein as some Republicans...

Weeks before a massive government funding deadline, Republicans are refusing to do their jobs and fleeing DC — all to protect Trump.

Epstein’s victims deserve truth and transparency, and so does the public. Here’s what you can do right now to keep pushing for truth: indivisible.org/epsteinfiles...

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.

Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

So shameful that when the pressure mounted for MAGA Republicans, they ran away for a month-long, Epstein recess, instead of doing the work they were elected to do. Speaker Johnson is squarely to blame for being part of the denial machine, canceling the House's final day of votes. Release the files!

'Shiny Happy People' returns to examine the Christian culture war pioneer Teen Mania (RNS) — The three-part docuseries explores the birth and sudden demise of Teen Mania, plus the gnarly underbelly of a ministry some former members consider abusive.

Really appreciate being interviewed for this article. It's important to show how the extreme warfare rhetoric of Teen Mania/youth group culture has direct ties to the Christian Nationalism we see today.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Facing terminal cancer as a doctor and mother A physician confronts her own terminal diagnosis while reflecting on the intersection of medical knowledge, personal history, and the emotional toll of facing mortality as both a mother and a doctor.

Thank u, Doc
💔
“All it took to be diagnosed and admitted was a medical degree, the confidence 2 insist my condition was serious, the ability 2 pay thousands of dollars 4 the ER visits where my diagnosis was missed, and an intimate knowledge of the hospital’s payment system.
No big deal.”
