As a reader of Portside, you know that we aim to address the biggest
and hardest questions of the day head-on. The question before us now
is: How can we prevent a wannabe fascist from consolidating absolute
power? Even before taking office, Trump is seeking to neuter Congress,
install a Cabinet of Horrors and create a government subservient to
him alone.
But a wannabe dictator is not yet a dictator. WE BELIEVE THAT
STRENGTHENING THE LEFT, WITH ITS VISION OF A MULTIRACIAL DEMOCRATIC
AND WORKING-CLASS MOVEMENT, IS KEY TO DEFEATING THE FASCIST DANGER.
This is a time for searching analysis, open debate, and strategizing.
NO ONE HAS A MONOPOLY ON TRUTH OR WISDOM. We at Portside will be
working to provide you and other readers the best strategic thinking
and analysis we can find from a multitude of sources. We will continue
to reflect the struggles, in our country and globally, for peace,
security and justice. Once a year we ask you to help us do that.

We believe that people make their own history, including in the face
of the most difficult circumstances. We search the Internet every day
for examples of people making history, including frontline reporting,
incisive argument, culture and humor. We look for and share insights
from science. Every day, we share the best that we find with you.
As you probably know, we moderators of Portside work on an entirely
volunteer basis. We’re rewarded by the readers who put the
information we provide to use to secure a better future, a just social
order.
We pledge to keep doing what we've been doing. We ask you to help us
by donating to keep our servers running and our website current.

We hope you keep up with our posts every day
[[link removed]],
with news, politics, culture, labor and other material of interest to
people on the left.
In the last year we were able to report on how handmaids and their
friends defeated theocrats in state after state. How creative and
determined strikes, from autoworkers to actors, won landmark
victories. Each victory reinforces the belief that others are
possible.
We are delighted that the Portside family has been reinforced by
thousands of new readers. More people are recommending material and
more authors are submitting their writings for consideration. We are
dedicated to serving as your eyes and ears in the digital universe.
Keep sending your input to either

Please contribute to keep this project going. We promise to make every
donation go a long way toward the future we seek together. We don’t
ask our readers for financial support often. If you want to be a part
of this project and to keep it going strong, this is the time to
support Portside.
