You know that I know where you are. I have officially registered (as MrMickeysMom) in another discussion forum that I'm not entirely excited about, which is called caucus99percent (c99 for short). I'll get around to posting their towards the weekend. I'm trying to write an essay in tribute to JackpineRadicals. Care to contribute to it (I have as yet started it)?

I hope JPR is not permanently gone. How could this happen?

Hi, PassionateProgressive here....Any news we can share/comment on as to what happened and where (if anywhere) we go from here....At the time of the 'crash' of all coincidences my computer was on the fritz for about a week. Luckily I got it back...Made a list of all my current/former JPR contacts just in case.....Hope it isn't a complete loss....any updates good/bad on this thread would be greatly appreciated.

So sad to hear it's gone.

Caucus99% is a good site but a fraction as active. It started much as JPR did. Instead of fleeing DU, they fled Daily Kos aka TOS (The Orange Satan).

I'm very sad that JPR met its demise. The crowing over at that shit hole DU is insufferable. I'm so glad I remembered you had a substack! Now I need to find a new place to call home. Keep up the great writing!

Hi everyone. I’m glad I found you all. Even though I hadn’t been active at JPR I used to check in and see how everything was going, what was being discussed. I’m very sorry it’s gone, it was a great place.

Checkin in again after seeing and now understanding previous JPR names here. I look at the number of choices I have, so while I did register at c99, I prefer to be one of the oddities at OB's substack. Yeah, got the summer company thing going, but will come back and see if I can at least support your streams of righteous consciousness herein.

Chknltl here.

I am at loss for words....so many good people. Every day I find things from Jimmy Dore or Kim Iversen or Redacted*, that I would love to pass along to my fellow JPR members. Every morning JPR was my news source over breakfast.

I had difficulties signing on to C99 so I just Ghost through there. Other than that I sorta feel alone in a wilderness of propaganda.

*(Redacted: a show put on by Mr. and Mrs Morris. Not to be confused with a different show called Redacted Tonight. Strongly reccomended)
