The Contrarian

I may have missed it, but have folks here been supporting the new substack publication started by Jennifer Rubin and Norm Eisen?

Jen's interview of Ruth Ben-Ghiat is definitely worth a listen.

You can read it on the Substack website. Or have it delivered to your inbox.

All that stuff. Look for 'X' and 'no thanks' is what it says, iirc. Lmk if it doesn't work for you to click through and I'll do a step by step example for you.

Also enjoyed a great conversation with Jennifer Rubin and Heather Cox Richardson.

I too am prepared to upgrade to a payed subscription. I think they are doing important work.

I kinda wish we could combine it with something like The Bulwark and/or Democracy Docket so we'd have a less diffuse information stream for the pro-democracy crowd, but I can't have everything.
