If you're a big enough writer where you can have Harper's ask you to sign the world's dumbest letter, your free speech isn't in danger of being stifled.
This is the first time in American history that people apart from the monied New York and Washington elite have had the chance to get their voices heard, and the Harper's signatories are freaking out over the fact that people are being mean to them on twitter. So embarrassing.
Journalism is dying. There are a forever dwindling number of outlets that pay a living wage and these multi-millionaires aren’t even trying to build new institutions for fearless young writers. They’re out here whining in the most old guard prestige outlet left. Fuck them all.
