Friend,

Here we are, nearly seven months into Donald Trump's catastrophic second term, and we know that many of you are feeling something beyond discouragement.

An economic agenda catered to billionaires. The National Guard and U.S. Marines unleashed against lawful dissent. Unlimited support for the genocide in Gaza. And now, a new, unlawful war of choice in the Middle East.

It's enough to make you weep.
But we have an important message that we want everyone to hear right now: We must never, ever give up. Because that's precisely what Donald Trump and his far-right allies want you to do.

Margaret Mead was absolutely right when she said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
And the only way that Donald Trump can succeed in implementing his hate-filled authoritarian vision of America is if we, the people, stop resisting.

So if you're with us — if you too believe that a better world is possible and that independent journalism is key — please become a monthly donor to Common Dreams today. ([link removed])
