(A ballad crooned to the tune of “You Go to My Head” by George W. Bush, with backup by Karl Rove and His Singing Slimemeisters)

Don’t criticize me. ‘Cause that’s just the thing our enemies want.
And it damages our terrorist hunt,
And endangers every grunt at the front.

Yes, Cheney did flog that meeting in Prague, but big deal–
Cheney’s zeal’s his appeal.
And don’t say aloud Condi’s next mushroom cloud was unreal.
We’re sure she’ll have much more to reveal.

Don’t criticize me. Evil foes would welcome that kind of strife.
Since their goal is crushing our way of life,
We might have to smear both you and your wife.
Don’t criticize me.
Don’t criticize me.

Sustain independent journalism that will not back down!

Donald Trump wants us to accept the current state of affairs without making a scene. He wants us to believe that if we resist, he will harass us, sue us, and cut funding for those we care about; he may sic ICE, the FBI, or the National Guard on us. 

We’re sorry to disappoint, but the fact is this: The Nation won’t back down to an authoritarian regime. Not now, not ever.

Day after day, week after week, we will continue to publish truly independent journalism that exposes the Trump administration for what it is and develops ways to gum up its machinery of repression.

We do this through exceptional coverage of war and peace, the labor movement, the climate emergency, reproductive justice, AI, corruption, crypto, and much more. 

Our award-winning writers, including Elie Mystal, Mohammed Mhawish, Chris Lehmann, Joan Walsh, John Nichols, Jeet Heer, Kate Wagner, Kaveh Akbar, John Ganz, Zephyr Teachout, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Kali Holloway, Gregg Gonsalves, Amy Littlefield, Michael T. Klare, and Dave Zirin, instigate ideas and fuel progressive movements across the country. 

With no corporate interests or billionaire owners behind us, we need your help to fund this journalism. The most powerful way you can contribute is with a recurring donation that lets us know you’re behind us for the long fight ahead. 

We need to add 100 new sustaining donors to The Nation this September. If you step up with a monthly contribution of $10 or more, you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind Nation pin to recognize your invaluable support for the free press. 

Will you donate today? 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
