Apologies for the absence from blogging the last two days. I was finishing up a big cover story I’ve been working on for months and neurotically combing through trying to make sure every last t was crossed and i dotted. (Metaphorically, that is. Our hi-tech software does a pretty good job of making sure all letters are correctly printed)

I’m heading to Austin this afternoon for Netroots Nation, so if you’re going to be there drop me an email or come over and say hi. I’ll be on a panel on Sat. at 4:30pm on The Social Democratic Movement. My co-panelists include Ezra Klein, Ben Brandzel and Elizabeth Jacobs.

1. Tom Friedman thinks anyone who doesn’t like the US is “self-indulgent” and “knee-jerk”

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
