In The Morning

Norah Jones

Booker T. organ lines and hushed, Joplinesque vocals

Look What You’ve Done

Shades of Nevermind and Sgt. Pepper

Stay Don’t Go

Nothin’ but lo-fi beat-box tenderness

December 4th

A mix of Jay-Z’s Black Album and “Mother Nature’s Son” from the Beatles’ White Album

Fast As I Can

Erin McKeown

Björky vocals, beguiling syntax: “Tonight, woke I in a strange bed.”

Pink Bullets

The Shins

“In a movie so crass and awkwardly cast, even I could be the star.”

Out On the Rolling Sea

Olu Dara

A bluesy take on a Bahamian sailor spiritual (by the father of rapper Nas)

Mason Jennings

A perfectly contagious, conflicted ode to love

IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE SCREWED WITHOUT TRUMP:

"It's that we're screwed with or without him if we can't show the public that what we do matters for the long term," writes Mother Jones CEO Monika Bauerlein as she kicks off our drive to raise $350,000 in donations from readers by July 17.

This is a big one for us. It's our first time asking for an outpouring of support since screams of FAKE NEWS and so much of what Trump stood for made everything we do so visceral. Like most newsrooms, we face incredibly hard budget realities, and it's unnerving needing to raise big money when traffic is down.

So, as we ask you to consider supporting our team's journalism, we thought we'd slow down and check in about where Mother Jones is and where we're going after the chaotic last several years. This comparatively slow moment is also an urgent one for Mother Jones: You can read more in "Slow News Is Good News," and if you're able to, please support our team's hard-hitting journalism and help us reach our big $350,000 goal with a donation today.
