The fact people think creators shouldn't get paid is mind boggling. You deserve it.

I just learned about the Laylor Torenz article and it's... so silly. Literally could not care that you are attending trainings. I also learned she's being paid by the very organizations she wrote the hit piece on too. Thank you Ariella and woo AG Nessel! I am so proud of her (I'm a Michigan voter and resident).

Was not at all surprised to see Rabbi Robin Podolsky in the foto of the LA rabbis. She was Rabbi at Temple Beth Israel of Highland Park and Eagle Rock during the time I was a member.

Thank you for the best explanation of the Chorus (I don’t want to call it a fiasco, but I don’t know what else to call it?!) thing that I’ve seen anywhere. And shame on Wired for falling into the same click bait trap as every other news organization at the moment. Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s working and I’m glad you’re getting paid for your hard work and effort!

I wasn't even aware of Taylor Lorenz (I had to google her) or her claims about dark money funding progressive influencers. Even if that were true, so what? Republicans have been dealing in dark money for a much worse cause for decades. We're in a fight for our lives and Democrats are the only ones standing against tyranny. I'm delighted we're (finally!) paying people to get our message out and I'm glad you're getting paid for your work. Onward!

From every woman who has been unpaid or underpaid for her labor, you deserve to earn a living. I’m really glad you wrote this. Keep fighting the fascists—it’s what real feminists do.
