Okay, it seems a shadowy group of progressive numerologists has decided that the number 50 is endowed with mystical properties that, harnessed effectively, will put the U.S. governance back on a rational footing and possibly levitate the Pentagon. First, we had “50 Ways to Save the Ocean,” now, from Earth Works Press (the folks who brought you “50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth,”)…”50 Simple Things You Can Do To Fight the Right,” a handbook crammed with useful information about what “YOU can do at home and in your community to defend America!”

What YOU can do is, among other things, “reclaim the Bible,” “take back the language,” “be a media watchdog,” and, yes, “give the Right a wedgie” (disappointingly, they mean “wedge issue”). The books tells you how. Click on the cover image to check it out.

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.
