Friend,

Donald Trump is openly telling the world that he intends to terminate portions of the U.S. Constitution, seek revenge on his political foes, target progressives as “vermin,” and make himself a dictator “on day one.”

This is not speculation. It’s not our opinion of what we think he might do. These are his words.

Fascism is knocking on the door, but the corporate media won’t say it — too afraid to ruffle feathers with their advertisers and executives to break from the phony balance and “both sideism” to report the obvious facts before our eyes.

The survival of democracy depends on independent, nonprofit news media sounding the alarm — but to keep us strong in the year ahead, we must meet our End-of-Year Campaign goal of $100,000.

With solidarity and gratitude,

Kim Monaghan
