For anyone on this thread who doesn't know who Ken Klip is, please check out his free Substack (and subscribe if you can). I wasn't on Twitter very long (maybe 1.5 years before Elmong took over) but one of the people I value that I ran into on that platform is Ken Klippenstein and I've been following him since. He's amazing at filing thousands of FOIA requests and doing the digging into them that no mainstream journalist does anymore. He also recently quit The Intercept because they were enshittifying far more than he was comfortable with, which for a writer is a huge thing to leave the umbrella of a company like that and a paycheck behind. Writers going out on their own in this climate is the only way we'll stay even remotely unfucked in the post-information (or misinformation) age.

Klip fuckin rules. Please give him some due.
