Friend,

"Normal."

America, we're told, is returning to "normal." Biden's presidency is
"normal." Donald Trump is gone, and so we're supposed to believe there
is no longer any need to worry.

Joe Biden has promised that America will be back to "normal" by July 4.
And that's exactly the problem.

There's nothing normal about triple-digit heat waves or out-of-control
wildfires. There's nothing normal about billionaires paying $0 in taxes,
rampant voter suppression, or hundreds of mass shootings a year.

If we simply return to the status quo that existed before Donald Trump
was on the scene, that would mean accepting a planet on fire, a broken
economy, and a corrupt democracy flooded with corporate money.

We refuse to accept any of this as normal, and we will continue to cover
the news with the same fierce urgency that we did for four years under
Donald Trump.

If you share our passionate vision for justice, peace, and a more
livable planet, please support our nonprofit journalism and help us
reach our $75,000 Mid-Year Campaign goal.
