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:

If I can read a map correctly—a sadly hit-or-miss affair for me, I’m afraid—this is Ahwiyah Point, a smallish rock right in front of Half Dome. This picture was, obviously, taken just before sunset, when the light is bright and golden. The reflection is from the dregs of Mirror Lake. There’s not much of Mirror Lake to see in the winter, but there’s just enough to produce a nice image.
