I awoke again at 3:30 am. Not being able to sleep I dove into Substack and BlueSky. I read an article about abortion and the introduced legislation in several states to restrict out of state travel for pregnant women to “protect the personhood of the fetus “ from harm. Can’t decide if Margaret Atwood is a visionary or a prophet of doom. Read more articles and then had coffee with you. Your network , your courage and encouragement are frankly a great source of hope , one of the few I have. I think about my daughter and their young family and how very busy they are with their teaching careers and children . They aren’t consumers of the corporate news… they simply are so busy. But neither do they have the time to delve into the issues presented by the independent journalists. I am probably guilty of

Proselytizing but I keep her informed of issues by summarizing your articles, so you see your influence goes far beyond paid and unpaid subscribers. Thank you for all you do , for your commitment and courage , for your dedication to the truth.

Prophet of doom. Visionary (generally) implies a person who implemented their GOOD, helpful ideas.
