Overall Structure:
The code is a <div> with the class newsletter-embed. It contains two main sections, controlled by CSS classes and data attributes:
* subscribed: This section is displayed after a user has subscribed to the newsletter. it’s a call to action to become a member,emphasizing The Intercept’s independence and member-supported model.
* unsubscribed (or default): This section is displayed before a user subscribes. It promotes the newsletter itself, highlighting original reporting and fearless journalism. It also includes a “Thank You” message if the user is already subscribed but hasn’t yet become a member.
Key Components & Functionality:
- Conditional Display (CSS Classes):
* The hidden class initially hides both sections.* javascript (not shown in this snippet, but implied by the data-module attributes) likely toggles the hidden class based on the user’s subscription status.* The group-[.subscribed]:hidden and group-[.default]:hidden classes are used to show/hide specific spans within the unsubscribed section based on the state of the parent div.

* Headline: “We’re independent of corporate interests — and powered by members. Join us.”
