Can’t take any more news about Donald Trump’s alleged history of sexual assault? We’ve got a four-minute reprieve for you in the form of a Funny or Die video.

The satirical video ends with an impassioned plea by will.i.am to vote for Hillary in November.

“Donald Trump does not look like the president of the United States of America, nor should he be,” will.i.am says. “If this was a TV show, maybe I would watch it, it would be pretty funny…this is real life with real life problems.”

We hear you, Will.

An earlier version of this article misstated the title of will.i.am’s video. We have corrected the error.

Owned by no one—except you.

We just keep seeing it happen: Newsrooms owned by billionaires and corporations are spinning their own narratives, overwriting the truth, following only stories that keep them in the pocket of those with even more power.

Not here. We’re not owned by anyone. We’re not part of any cult that demands our allegiance to a bottom line. We’ve spoken up and spoken out while other newsrooms changed their stories—or cut them altogether—to keep the C suite happy.

Our mission is to find the truth and amplify it. That’s why we’re independent, nonprofit, and, crucially, funded by readers. The investigations on our website will always be free to read, watch, and listen to, but our newsroom is powered by readers who pitch in what they can so we can keep asking the hard questions.

Can you chip in today?
