Friday Cat Blogging – 16 April 2010

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.

On the left, Big Brother is watching Inkblot. As you can tell, he’s enthralled by this gigantic televised version of himself. On the right, Domino is pretending to be a zebra. Not very well, mind you, but she’s trying. And with that, I’m off to lunch and then to the Apple Genius Bar to see if they can make my mother’s iPod work again.

But one other thing first: you may have noticed that it’s fundraising week here at MoJo. We rely on a lot of different funding sources to keep things going around here, and our readers are one of them. So if you appreciate what the magazine does, as well as what I and the other bloggers do, we’d sure appreciate your help in return. You can donate here. Thanks!

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
