Remember the last time the FCC nearly killed net neutrality?

Tumblr had this nice big banner at the top of your dashboard alerting any active user about the problem. Guess what has changed since then? Verizon, one of the companies gunning for the death of net neutrality owns yahoo who in turn own Tumblr. Spread the word, tell everyone you can: battleforthenet.com tag posts you see about net neutrality with popular tags so the news spreads.

Robert Caro, Nearing the End of His Epic L.B.J. Bio, Eyes a Trip to Vietnam

Those waiting for the final planned installment of Mr. Caro’s award-winning life of Lyndon B. Johnson might be both heartened and frustrated.

YES. I’ve always worried about whether Caro would have the time to finish this. The Years of Lyndon Johnson is the greatest biography ever written – Caro has spent more time researching and writing about LBJ’s career than LBJ’s career actually lasted.

Anthony Bergen is creating original writing about politics and Presidential history. | Patreon

Hey everyone, I’m now on Patreon! 

Believe it or not, I’ve been writing about history on Tumblr with @deadpresidents since before Barack Obama was elected President, but it has been more difficult over the past year or two to justify putting as much time into my work as I once did while still being able to…you know…buy food and pay bills. So, I’ve finally made the jump and created a Patreon as many, many of my readers have suggested over the past couple of years.

I’d like to get back to regularly writing the Original Essays and other projects about Presidential history that probably brought a lot of you to my blog. Honestly, if just half of my followers contributed $1 a month to my Patreon, I’d be able to focus on creating new content for you full-time while also self-publishing the print editions of my book that many readers have asked about. It sounds crazy, but it’s true. 

So, if you are able to, please consider contributing to my Patreon. I’m coming up with some good ideas for those who do contribute, including:

•Patrons who contribute at least $2 will get a free copy of my 2012 book, Tributes and Trash Talk: What Our Presidents Said About Each Other •Patrons who contribute at least $5 will get the 2012 edition of Tributes and Trash Talk AND the updated edition of the book – which I’m currently finishing (and, yes, it includes the 45th President) – BEFORE the book is officially released to the rest of the public. •Patrons will have access to exclusive content, including brand-new, full-length essays that will be available only to my Patreon contributors exclusively and won’t be published online through any other platform. •Patrons will also have an opportunity to contribute their ideas, suggest topics, and vote on new subjects for me to cover on @deadpresidents.

Obviously, I’m not going to stop writing things here on @deadpresidents or stop answering questions if nobody contributes, but if readers are able to contribute just $1 a month to my Patreon I will be able to spend much more time doing those things and creating the content that probably gained your attention in the first place. It would also allow me to finish more in-depth projects like the Presidential Rankings or Vice Presidential Profiles, publish more of the always-popular Historically Accurate Transcriptions, and give me the opportunity to complete other ideas I’ve wanted to work on, including profiles of unsuccessful Presidential nominees and First Ladies.

I’m grateful for your support and for motivating me to continue creating content about a subject that I have always loved. I wouldn’t have written about history for the past nine years on Tumblr (!) without if I didn’t have an audience that was willing to listen and that I enjoy sharing my work with. Even if it’s just $1 a month, your contribution to my Patreon will allow me to continue doing some really cool things on @deadpresidents and elsewhere – and contributors will have access to so much more. Thanks to all of you, and if you do want to contribute, you can go here or follow one of the hundreds of other links to Patreon in this post.

Thanks again, Anthony
