Things are not like they were. When Donald Trump takes office 50 days from now, among his top priorities will be taking revenge against any perceived political opponents and crushing those ready to stand against his destructive agenda.
That includes independent news outlets like Common Dreams, which held him accountable during his first term and vow to do so again.
Are we afraid of what may come? Yes. It would be foolish not to be. Will we back down? Not even a little. Not even for a moment.
That’s why we’re emailing you today. In the face of this existential threat, we’re kicking off our Giving Tuesday drive early to raise $50,000 to ensure we have the financial backing to fight back no matter what Trump throws at us.
Other outlets may (some already have), but we will never kneel before Trump or his fascist flunkies. But our eyes are wide open to the threat we now face.
