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.

The cover comes after 29-year-old Omar Matteen entered Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday morning and opened fire, killing 49 and injuring 53 in what became the deadliest mass shooting in US history. He was killed an in ensuing shootout with police inside the club. Matteen, a private security guard who had been investigated by the FBI twice for alleged terrorist ties, pledged allegiance to ISIS in a 911 call before the shooting took place. At a news conference, an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms in Orlando confirmed that the shooter legally purchased an .223 caliber AR assault rifle and a 9mm handgun within the past two weeks in Florida.
