Do you give a damn about the future of this country?

The guardrails protecting democracy may have buckled, but they are not broken. Autocratic forces are ascendant in America—yes, it can happen here, and did—but the story isn’t fully written. Truth-telling independent media is one remaining bulwark against Trump’s unrestrained exercise of power. Our nonprofit newsroom is built for what’s ahead. No oligarchs or billionaires can tell us what to publish. Depend on it, and please stand with us.

DreamWorks SKG
Hollywood insiders called them the “Dream Team”: Spielberg, Katzenberg, Geffen. Formidable names on the left coast, surely, but even more formidable when entered in a joint venture with the richest man in the world. Microsoft and DreamWorks have a joint venture called DreamWorks Interactive, LLC, which mostly makes mediocre games—but digging deeper leads to Paul Allen’s $500 million stake in DreamWorks SKG.
