Investigative journalism, reporting like our future depends on it. Because it does. I’m not here to make friends with the powerful. I’m here to make sure someone holds them liable. No ads, no corporate sponsors, just a regular gal writing on real issues.

Personal, political, and pop culture essays for the times

Kill The Body

By KTB

KTB calls out "back office" apparatchiks in the Trump Administration and the MAGA movement – the working level functionaries who you haven't heard of but who are just as responsible as Trump, Miller, Vought, and all the other big names.

Some day this will be over. Let's remember who these guys were.

Found Object

By Rodrigo Brancatelli

The culture you almost missed.

In Retrospect with Frederick Joseph

This is a space for reflection and reckoning. It looks at the world and the self in the same breath, tracing how culture, power, politics, and personal experience collide to shape who we are. Each piece seeks clarity in the chaos, finding meaning

Frederick just does a really good job of cutting through the bullshit.

How Things Work

By Hamilton Nolan

Labor, politics, and power.

One of our favorites, Hamilton Nolan has been fighting the good fight for over 2 decades. His work covering politics, inequality, and labor, for Gawker, In These Times and The Guardian is a continuing source of inspiration for EIF*.

The Fucking News

By The F Team

"I recommend signing up for these guys, if you like getting your morning news with swearing." - Naomi Klein

The Fucking News likes to "screen out bullshit that doesn’t matter, help navigate bullshit that does, and surface bullshit you might not otherwise know about" and he (Jonathan Larsen) does a damn fine job at it. Become a "Newsfucker" today and get informed.

The Raven Express

By Nick Raven

Musings on pop culture and whatever.

Nick Raven is a regular contributor to EIF* and we like the cut of his jib. And the cut of his kilt.
