Justice for Mika Westwolf. On May 23, Popular Information revealed that the investigation into the death of Mika Westwolf, a 22-year-old Indigenous woman allegedly run over by a white nationalist, was under-resourced, haphazard, and focused on pinning blame on the victim
I am most grateful for your penetrating analysis of the domestic issues that would otherwise grow even more rampant and toxic without the light you shine on them. Thanks and best wishes for a wonderful holiday, and a peaceful new year.
Popular Information is essential reading. This is what journalism is SUPPOSED to be! Exposing lies, corruption, and hypocrisy rather than the both-sidsing that corporate media is addicted to and aiding the collapse of democracy in America.
Thank-you so much for what you do. Just a little outfit, but you do so much to expose what the far right is doing across the USA. So much of it would otherwise go unnoticed, because so much of the focus is normally on the national scene.
Actually these more local developments you cover are just as important, and build up a comprehensive - and frightening - picture of how the far right and obscurantist canker in our midst works to undermine decency. I look at the USA from abroad, not least because your pernicious Koch-funded and religious right-inspired ideologues are trying to export their activities to Europe. It's important, therefore, for us to know and understand our common enemy, and from our side of the Atlantic it's much harder to follow what's happening right across the States.
On another note entirely - congratulations also for the quality of your journalism - well written, cogently argued, eminently literate. Perhaps some of those who want to shut down literature they haven't even read might learn something from the quality of your writing, even if they remain blind to the morality of your - our - cause.
Yeah, invaluable investigative journalism done by only three people, making chicken-little me wonder how much more of this Jim Crow police-state reactionary stuff goes on yet undetected. Please keep up the good work.
Look for a copy of the January-February 2024 issue of Mother Jones. The entire issue is about the various facets of American Oligarchy. The cover illustration is marvelous and includes Elon Musk dressed as Marie Antoinette eating a slice of cake. You'll recognize the other faces in the group too.
Judd, you and your team have done an incredible job of righting the sloppiness and perfidy of the mainstream press. I wish you all a safe holiday season and continued success in the future. You are my chief go-to!
Judd- thanks for all the non partisan reporting & the facts. That’s why I subscribe- I want the “ true Hollywood story” not opinions; pundits’ views or panel debates- ie: is a traitor a ‘real’ traitor? Is a coup a ‘real’ coup? You reporting is refreshing. NO MALARKEY!
Every one of these is important, Judd, but I think the Mika Westwolf story is the most important one. She was just a throw away person until you looked into it more deeply, and now, a sense of justice has been served. It is so easy to forget the Mika's of this world, and there are so many of them. Thank you for taking the time to look into her life and the story of her death. Most of us would just say something like, "How very tragic," and then move on. Thanks for not moving on.
Your reports are always well written and packed with information. Outstanding reporting! Thank you Judd. You have made a huge difference in our world.

You know that'san excellent question you pose Skip D.
I also suspect that you kinda know the answer to your question too and that, in and of itself, is sad testimony to the state of affairs here.
This summary is an early holiday present. Thank you for the good work you and team does.
Damn, you guys got some shit done this year!
When a kid in high school, our English teacher introduced us to the "muckrakers".
Judd is "today's" muckraker, EXTREME, ON STEROIDS!
THANK YOU JUDD FOR ALL YOU DO!
Thank you for your excellent work exposing injustice and bringing about shifts, not only in perception of truth but in actions!
Thank you for the excellent and true journalism your team provides.
Not on subject..I would love to see a dive into Who Is the American Oligarchy? And who/ what is their $ supporting?

A year of great reporting! Thank you.
And more to come by Joe!!!
Judd, you and your team have done an incredible job of righting the sloppiness and perfidy of the mainstream press. I wish you all a safe holiday season and continued success in the future. You are my chief go-to!
Exceptional reporting represents an EXCEPTIONAL resource and value, especially in today's "actual news" bereft media landscape.
Who needs made-up drama and obvious hyperbole?
Give me my P.I!

Happy holidays & TY.
Great job, Judd! You continue with this important work and I'll keep sending you money; deal? Deal!
