Truthout needs your support

As one of the few ad-free and nonprofit newsrooms left, we rely on people like you to keep us online. Yet, month after month we find ourselves desperately trying to raise the $50,000 we need just to keep publishing. 

Something has to change.

If you value what you read on our site, please consider making a small monthly donation to our January fundraising campaign! You’ll strengthen Truthout and help us spend less time fundraising and more time covering the issues you care about.

Matt Bors

Matt Bors relentlessly skewers the latest absurdities of American politics and culture. From war to religion to obsessive lawn care, Bors’ cartoons dissect and expose the news, ‘avoiding the Donkeys and Elephants of many of his peers,’ to make readers think and laugh about real issues. Bors’ unique cartoons feature a vivid style and biting humor that have earned him a great deal of praise. Drawn! Magazine editor John Martz says that Bors is ‘one of few in his field whose work redefines what an editorial cartoon should look like.’
