Friend,
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are taking a chainsaw to the most basic pillars of democracy and governance to enrich themselves and their corporate allies at the expense of the public and the common good.
The courts seem powerless to stop them. Republicans in Congress have willingly surrendered their constitutional role as a check on the executive. Enfeebled Democrats are practically invisible.
The last line of defense — our final hope for the survival of democracy — is you, the people. But the people can only fight back if they have access to the ugly truth about what's really happening.
Common Dreams was founded to cover the stories the corporate media never will and lift up the voices of dissent ignored by those in power. Today, however, we need a significant influx of support in order to keep reporting the news and analysis you rely on every day.
So please, if you value our work and support our mission, donate to our Winter Campaign and help meet our make-or-break March 1 fundraising goal.
Only together can we defeat this chainsaw massacre.
