Don’t Let the Door Hit You Etc.

Do you give a damn about the future of this country?

The guardrails protecting democracy may have buckled, but they are not broken. Autocratic forces are ascendant in America—yes, it can happen here, and did—but the story isn’t fully written. Truth-telling independent media is one remaining bulwark against Trump’s unrestrained exercise of power. Our nonprofit newsroom is built for what’s ahead. No oligarchs or billionaires can tell us what to publish. Depend on it, and please stand with us.

DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ETC….What’s the right going away present for a guy who’s a serious contender for worst president in history? I can think of a few, but alas, they’re beyond my meager powers to provide. So instead, how about sending us an entry in our “Goodbye, George W. Bush” video contest? Just put your 30-second (or so), PG-13 video on YouTube labeled “Mother Jones Goodbye Bush Video” and send us the link at:

All styles of entries are welcome, from simply talking at the camera to fancier stuff. There will be prizes, of course. So rip, riff, and rant away. And tell your friends! The more entries the merrier.
