Support Mother Jones with a year-end donation

Here are the facts: 1) We urgently need to raise $350,000 in online donations this month; 2) Readers told us fundraising is annoying; 3) Both journalism and US democracy are in trouble. So, to make this as un-annoying as possible, we’re hoping less is more right now—and we focus on three simple questions: Why us, why now, and why does your support for our journalism matter? We need a lot of help this month and can’t afford to come up short again. Please make a year-end gift if you can right now.

We need to raise $350,000 in online donations this month to keep Mother Jones charging hard. But readers told us fundraising is annoying, and we don’t want to add to the overwhelming noise. So we’re hoping less is more right now, and that we can “Let the Facts Speak for Themselves” in making the case for the year-end gifts we need. Please help if you can right now.

I am now up to 37 (!) emails about Sweden’s coronavirus testing regime. This is roughly 37 more than I have received about any other country aside from the United States. So far, they’re about equally split between people telling me that Sweden narrowed its testing program last week and that’s why its growth rate has flattened vs. people telling me that Sweden has more thorough testing than most countries and I should ignore all the idiots.

I don’t know which to believe. They could both be true, after all. For what it’s worth, Sweden is about average on coronavirus deaths. However, this probably tells us more about where they are on the growth curve than it does about how good their testing program is.
