  • COOL SHADES
  • Beat summer heat by hanging white curtains or shades. They can reduce solar heat gain by up to 50 percent and cut down on air conditioning costs.

  • SOFT SHOE
  • No need to shine shoes with those toxic polishes. For leather of any color, apply olive oil to a soft cloth and buff to a shine. For tan or black leather, try lemon juice.

    We were built for times like these

    Russian bots are impersonating us. Trump and his allies want to silence us. AI wants to (and does!) steal our content. The list goes on. But with 50 years of experience, we know we were built for this moment: We’re ready to keep diving deep and uncovering the truth, then getting that to you right here, completely accessible and never behind a paywall.

    While our work is free to read, watch, and listen to online, it’s incredibly costly to make. Court documents, travel, research: It all adds up. Because we’re a nonprofit newsroom, we rely on reader support to fund our investigations. Will you stand with us in these extraordinary times, as headlines clamour for our attention and disinformation is rampant? We can’t get the truth out without you.
