As someone who did exactly this in 2015, yes, pls, get in the game. But 1) this needs FUNDING and 2) the antivax mvmt doxes & harasses ppl, so know that.

Since Michael Shellenberger namechecked me in his latest fundraising appeal for his "Civilization Works" grift, I pulled up his 990. Last year, he pulled in $1.6 million to fight the censorship complex that *he made up* -- double what he got the year before.

The Missouri v Biden loser is failing up! Andy Bailey is now co-assistant to the regional manager alongside Podcaster Dan, filling in for him on mental health days and trying to shake those pesky Epstein files loose. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreidb4okmhsd2y3t6xaivhrhwmwe6qp6uh3pjyic4xxdus7upfvts6q
