Congratulations, well done, and thank you Monica. You matter and FAIR matters to everyone committed to improving the caliber of our debate and for refocusing on the things that matter most that unite us. I am grateful for the good work you do. You've collected and supported a community of people who are willing to argue in good faith and to make things better even on our toughest issues.
Monica, congratulations on a great year for you and for us, and here is to many more to come. There is so much more to accomplish, and we are well on our way! I am thrilled to be able to support in any little way possible.
Do you know the independent publishing house Spinifex Press? We have been vigorously presenting the work of novelists, poets and political writers for 33 years. We have also been arguing for fair speech for more than a decade. You might be interested in looking at our website www.spinifexpress.com.au

Just a "footnote" suggestion; The phrase "thought leader" sounds just like the trendy and groupthink language that FAIR resists. To me, it has an aggrandizing aspect that I don't think you intend. Why should any of us need a "thought leader" when presumably FAIR stands for the proposition that we should all think for ourselves. Otherwise, a good letter.
Thank you for your feedback, John. I see the role of “thought leadership” in people and organizations as identifying/highlighting new issues and challenges and developing innovating ways to address them. That said, I appreciate the nuance you’ve flagged, and it does make sense. I will give some thought on if and how to tweak this description.
Right now Fair lacks integrity. From recent posts it seems like it’s a Zionist gig. It hates “identity politics” unless it’s about Zionist Jews. In which case it actually publishes their erroneous narrative. Congress is trying to pass laws equating anti Zionism with antisemitism, aka racism, and I haven’t heard a peep from Fair about it. Did I just miss it? Arguably the most powerful identity politics organization is currently AIPAC. Search for it on fair's substack and you find nothing. But organizations like BLM show up all over the place.

Thank you so much, Chris! So grateful for all the support you’ve given me on this journey 🙏

I’m not aware of Spinifex, Susan, but will definitely check out your site. Always happy to engage with leaders of FAIR-aligned orgs!

Easily the most masturbatory piece ever
written on Substack, surpassing even Van Jones legendary self-administered hand job introduction to his stack.
The congratulatory comments must have come from those who were privileged enough to watch it to its orgasmic conclusion.
