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.
