This Week Only: Get $30 off a full year of Off Message!
That’s $3.75 per month on an annualized basis, or $4.20 if you’d prefer to go month by month.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email. If you’re like me, you’re over-inundated with solicitations, but I sincerely hope you’ll consider this one.
In gratitude for your readership, I’m offering free subscribers 40 percent off monthly and annual memberships.
Sign up before the end of the week and you’ll be good to go. You’ll gain access to everything we publish going forward, plus the full archive, commenting privileges, mailbag submissions, live conversations—the whole deal.
And you’ll help insure the future of this publication. Paid memberships insulate writers like me, the freelancers I pay, and the journalists I’d like to hire from the immense headwinds threatening the viability of journalism as a vocation.
Corporate media outlets are under immense pressure to censor themselves, or else they’re being scooped up and ruined by billionaires loyal to the regime in Washington. Independent media outlets either struggle to pay their writers fair wages, or scrape by on the largesse of fickle benefactors. Artificial intelligence is already displacing journalists, and tempting established writers to give up the craft altogether.
Your support is like a moat. I occasionally nudge more people to sign up, and (in return) you all get my solemn promise that we will never be compromised by political pressure, or become an A.I. slop farm. Just a bunch of real humans offering community.
If you upgrade now, or anytime before Monday at noon, you’ll lock in a low price that’ll carry you through the 2026 midterms and (knock on wood) into the early months of a Democratic majority, committed to pulling the country back from the brink of fascism. This is a make or break year for American democracy; nobody should have to white-knuckle it alone.
I’ve always strived to be a steady guide through this seemingly endless crisis, and that remains my commitment going forward: To see things clearly and whole, and (with your help) to bring about the changes in progressive and liberal politics required to see us through this dangerous period in one piece.
That same ethic will guide me and my guest writers through whatever awaits us in the coming year.
And while this subscription drive is mostly aimed at people who’ve already shown an interest in our work, I’d also like to extend it to people you might know (friends, coworkers, family members) who you think might benefit from a subscription to Off Message.
Whether you take me up on the offer or not, thank you sincerely for your support. It means everything.
Brian
