Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

hello, world.

Ah, excellent. Everything seems to be working. Sorry for the radio silence today. Last week Southern California Edison informed us that we might suffer a planned power outage today, and I foolishly assumed this meant the lights might go out for half an hour at some point during the morning. Nope. The lights went out at 8:30 am, a whole bunch of big trucks with gigantic reels of thick cable pulled up, workers did mysterious things all day, and at 5:30 pm the lights came back on.

So….did anything interesting happen while I was gone?
