They don’t make them like Seymour Hersh anymore. When he talks we all should listen. This is the Substack I wrote about him: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/its-worse-than-you-think.

This may be the best thing on Substack. Alexander Beiner is in rarified atmosphere seeing the bigger picture that must be grappled with to get us out of the danger we are in by not being a cooperative humanity. I'm not recommending this just for being good writing, but if I ran the world I'd have everyone reading it to get wised up.
With most pundits writing solely about the trouble we are, James Fallows is an old school journalist who always impresses me with his purview so we understand things from a broader perspective that includes considerations of what we could do to get ourselves on a better path.
Now’s the time to get on Marianne Willimson’s bandwagon. Free of pressures to run a campaign and escaping what people latched onto to criticize the most intelligent and heartfelt of any political candidacy, now it’s just Marianne cheering us on to become what humanity can be. And she is inspirational enough to possibly unite people of goodwill to turn the world about!
Thom Hartmann keeps you tuned into the world as it is, setting current events in historical contexts and being a stomping ground for the outrage we feel. With a manageable number or responses to his posts, engaging here feels more like family than most.
