Friend,
Every day, it seems there’s another reason to think the world has lost its mind.
We see masked immigration thugs kidnapping students and tear-gassing children, the national guard occupying US cities, the president openly taking bribes and selling pardons…. It’s enough to make you question your own sanity.
Common Dreams is the place you go to remember that you’re not crazy, and you’re not the only one freaking out.
We don’t sane-wash Trump’s chaos, corruption, and cruelty, and we’ll never try to gaslight you into thinking that any of this is normal.
But we must also never forget that the world is still a place full of exhilaration and discovery, that we are surrounded by people who care for their neighbors and live lives of integrity and generosity.
Those forces will be ascendant again, and together we will make it possible.
Common Dreams was founded to fuel progressive change by lifting up voices of hope and goodness. Every day, our reporters fearlessly stand up to the powerful and inspire action – and your donations make everything we do possible.
If you’re with us, please donate to our End-of-Year Campaign today. We’re doing some of the most essential, high-impact journalism that we’ve ever done, but to stay strong in the year ahead, we must not fall short of our must-hit goal.
