Are our favorite news pundits and podcasters undermining hope or boosting our resolve?

[TBF]

1. Agree - I've been cleaning out my substack subscriptions

to focus on real value - folks who have news or commentary focusing on what is going on and what we can do now to fight it.

There are many legacy media personalities who have decided Substack is their new gig, and they invite each other on their shows to basically rehash what's wrong, and it's in their interest to just stay in that phase. I'd rather watch a 10-minute update from Indivisible about which trainings are coming up, when the next no kings protest will be happening, and which new candidates for office might be worth supporting. I don't care as much about the "gigs" that are focused on rehashing what we can all see with no objectives, selling merch to support their substacks, etc.
