Mother Jones’ union co-chair Patrick Caldwell connects the dots: Facebook's decision to throttle our content cost Mother Jones at least $400,000—the same amount we had to cut from our payroll this year. Please read his post, and if you can, chip in to help us finish our fall fundraising drive strong and hit our big goal by Saturday's deadline.

“This Is a Game”
From Nick Waterhouse’s Holly
INNOVATIVE LEISURE

Liner notes: With honking saxes and clattering congas going full blast, Nick Waterhouse struts his stuff with swaggering flair, evoking tough ’60s R&B.

Behind the music: Waterhouse and buddy Ty Segall came up in the same SoCal music scene. His second album, Holly, includes songs by Segall, jazz icon Mose Allison, and Young-Holt Unlimited.
