Continuing our series of soothing, serene photos, this is possibly the most amiable dog ever. I was sitting on the ground taking pictures of something else when he saw me and immedately came waddling my way. He never stopped or hesitated. He just made a very slow beeline for my lap, plonked himself down, and started snerfling while I rubbed his tummy. I have a feeling that if it had been up to him, I would still be in Colombia in that exact spot to this day.

Ommm.

LESS DREADING, MORE DOING

This is the rubber-meets-road moment: the early days in our first fundraising drive since we took a big swing and merged with CIR to bring fearless investigative reporting to the internet, radio, video, and everywhere else that people need an antidote to lies and propaganda.

Donations have started slow, and we hope that explaining, level-headedly, why your support really is everything for our reporting will make a difference. Learn more in “Less Dreading, More Doing,” or in this 2:28 video about our merger (that literally just won an award), and please pitch in if you can right now.
