We’ve recently received word in regards to some folks not receiving the newsletter, even after subscribing. It seems to be a mail filtering issue - the mail inbox doesn’t recognize our publication as ‘safe’ and blocks it from coming into the receiver’s mailbox (obviously this doesn’t apply to you since you’re reading this now!) .
We think we’ve found a workaround, and if you know of anyone who is experiencing this issue, please share this fix: simply add antrimdems@substack.com to your EMAIL contact list. Be sure you add it to the email address line. Called ‘Whitelisting,’ this tells the mail server to trust this address and allow the mail in.
Some folks using Gmail have said no mail, and not in junk folder. Please also check the ‘Promotions’ folder as sometimes Substack emails end up there. Users can then simply reassign the email from Promotions to the regular inbox and Gmail will ‘learn’ this is what is preferred.
ALSO - For folks that have the Substack app, there is a function in settings called push notifications or ‘Smart Delivery’ which turns off all direct inbox emails.
Users who have the app should go to the app or account settings and change newsletter delivery back to “Prefer email” or “Both email and push”.
Reach out if you or anyone you know is still experiencing a problem.
Many thanks to you all!

QUICK READ….
SOWING CHAOS
BY ROBERT REICH
The goal is the chaos:
On the surface it may look like what USPS is doing is a way to disenfranchise voters, but that is a just a smoke screen. The real plan is chaos in our election system.
The Trump administration has a track record of “change it until you break it” approach to governing. But with elections, breaking the system creates opportunity.
Consider what happens if a Republican loses a close race and late-arriving mail ballots determine the outcome. The administration has created uncertainty over whether those ballots were mailed on time. That gives the losing candidate exactly what is needed to contest them — and, if enough ballots are involved, contest the election itself.
Trump spent years attacking mail voting and refused to accept the results of an election he lost. His administration knows perfectly well how uncertainty over ballots can be weaponized after Election Day.
I don’t think this is simply another poorly executed rollout. Create confusion over which ballots are valid, wait to see who loses, and use that confusion when it is politically useful.
The chaos isn’t a flaw. It’s the plan.
Make your plan early and VOTE EARLY!
From Kevin Garlock —
“This is what we have to try and change, for over 50 years they have been conditioned to think anyone with an R is the good guy.
And now it’s basically just a team sport where you are okay with your side doing whatever as long as you feel on top.”
“Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.”
