All I Want for Christmas, Part 4: New Balance Joy Division

You Can Run But You Can't HideLately, when I’ve been jogging, I seem to keep forgetting about, you know, the horror. But if you too need a reminder during your exercise sessions that “a loaded gun won’t set you free,” why not pick up these special edition New Balance Joy Division tennies? They’re snazzy white and gray sneakers with the artwork from the Div’s first album Unknown Pleasures on the tongue and the sole. Actually, it’s just a prototype, but perhaps if we all lose control we can cause enough disorder so that they’ll make these shoes before the, um, new dawn fades… ugh, are they sure a loaded gun won’t set me free?

DONALD TRUMP & DEMOCRACY

Mother Jones was founded to do things differently in the aftermath of a political crisis: Watergate. We stand for justice and democracy. We reject false equivalence. We go after, and go deep on, stories others don’t. And we’re a nonprofit newsroom because we knew corporations and billionaires would never fund the journalism we do. Our reporting makes a difference in policies and people’s lives changed.

And we need your support like never before to vigorously fight back against the existential threats American democracy and journalism face. We’re running behind our online fundraising targets and urgently need all hands on deck right now. We can’t afford to come up short—we have no cushion; we leave it all on the field.

Please help with a donation today if you can—even just a few bucks helps. Not ready to donate but interested in our work? Sign up for our Daily newsletter to stay well-informed—and see what makes our people-powered, not profit-driven, journalism special.
