MoJo Is Back Online!

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Please learn more in "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," where we go into the brutal economics of journalism, and what makes Mother Jones unique and worth supporting if you can right now.

We’ve been down for the last 36 hours thanks to a fire at a massive server center in Seattle. (You can read all about the travails of us and many other companies at Twitter #fisherfire. Or as David Corn dubbed it #serverBBQ). That would have been stressful enough, but it turned into the ultimate take out the trash Friday when Sarah Palin suddenly announced she was resigning. (Sarah, our legal case to get your emails is still pending.) Corn’s been tweeting about it. And the whole staff has been pitching in at the @MotherJones Twitter stream, check it out.
