a place to discuss real issues
in
Innit wonderful?
To have a bit of hope after so many years?
This is interesting:
This is bullshit:
It is my opinion, we seriously need to reconsider Schumer…
…and Jeffries as well.
Can’t the guy read the fucking room. Leave the religion out of it!

Watch this video:
That just makes me smile…
The memes have been spot on…
Stay safe, this is an open thread.
I’m feeling hopeful but I’m also feeling anger. More than anger. I’m feeling rage for what this fascist regime has done. They have killed innocent people. They have taken away food, healthcare, housing, and human rights from millions. They have gotten away with child rape. They have put us through years of constant fear about what is happening and what might happen next.
I want accountability. I want justice. And I DO NOT want Schumer and Jeffries in leadership positions. They cannot be trusted. Jeffries met with freaking Jared before the election to discuss how they can work together! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
I also want Ramaswamy to go back to where he came from – HELL.
I completely agree!
I really want them all to go away. They’ve been exhausting since Trump and Melania rode that damn elevator. I’m tired of watching the death, the destruction, the hunger and folks like Elon Musk just prounce around like he’s entitled the moon and the stars. I am just sick of their voices, their suits and golf clubs, and most of all their obvious attempts to destroy democracy.
I’m so glad so many women are in leadership. This should change things.
and I really wish they’d reconsider Schumer and Jeffries and find some other folks. They’ve handle the last two years badly.
I tried to post a YouTube about House Democrats starting investigations and impeachment as soon as the new Congress convenes but it disappeared into the ether. Does the new site not allow YouTube videos?
We’re not sure exactly. It appears the settings or the new format only allow links in the comments. We can see if JJ can find a way to open them up.
I find it frustrating also.
Goodbye from Salon. It has been an extraordinary privilege.
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication.
It’s difficult to find the right words for the end of something that has meant so much to so many people. Salon was never just a website. It was an idea about what journalism could be, born at a moment when the internet was still a largely unexplored frontier.
When Salon launched in November 1995, the web was a very different place. A small group of journalists set out to create something original: a publication with a strong voice, a curiosity about the world and a belief that the internet could bring journalism and readers together in new ways. They helped pioneer a form of journalism that would come to define an entirely new era of publishing.
Over three decades, Salon has brought together politics, culture, criticism and ideas in a way that was distinctly our own. Our journalism examined power and politics, questioned assumptions, surfaced stories that deserved attention and made room for perspectives that were too often overlooked. Our writers and editors helped shape conversations about the forces changing our lives. The work was never simply about keeping up with the news. It was about making sense of it.
The history of Salon is also the history of the people who made it. We are profoundly grateful to the journalists, editors, photographers, producers, designers, business teams and countless other colleagues who brought this publication to life across its many chapters. To the founders who imagined it, the staff members who built it, the contributors who gave it their voices and the alumni who carried its spirit into the world: Thank you. Salon’s legacy belongs to all of you.
We also want to thank our readers. You came to Salon for the journalism, the dialogue, the essays, the criticism, the unexpected discoveries and the sense that there was a place on the internet where ideas mattered. You read, shared, challenged, subscribed, wrote to us and kept coming back. Your engagement made Salon a publication and a community, and it gave our work meaning. We are so grateful for the time you spent with us.
The business realities of independent digital journalism have changed profoundly over the years. After careful consideration, we have reached the difficult decision that our publishing model is no longer sustainable. We know this news will be deeply disappointing to many of you, and we share that sadness.
Thirty-one years is a remarkable run, but what matters most is what happened during those years: the journalism, the ideas, the voices, the conversations and the community that grew around them. Salon helped demonstrate what digital journalism could be and could become. We hope that legacy will continue to matter long after today.
Thank you for being part of our story. It has been an extraordinary privilege.
