Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Please learn more in "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," where we go into the brutal economics of journalism, and what makes Mother Jones unique and worth supporting if you can right now.

Last week we had Hopper posing next to a concrete rabbit. This week it’s Hilbert’s turn.¹ And while you might think Hilbert is gazing inquisitively at a hummingbird or something, I don’t think he was. He was actually watching Hopper, and his head just happened to turn upward for a moment.

Then again, maybe there was a hummingbird there. Hilbert, after all, is much more attuned to such things than I am.

¹We have a lot of concrete rabbits in our yard.
