One Hundred Percent

EMPORIA, VA — Stipulating up front that this post violates the law of small numbers, but what the heck, I’m a reporter, right? We don’t need no stinkin social science. Anyway, just walked a precinct in this small town with a UNITE-HERE organizer who’s been down her for two months. We hit about 30 doors, and of the dozen or so people who were home every single one of them had voted. This is at noon.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
