A New Definition of Torture

Some folks

Claim that a desire for privacy

Is an admission of guilt

And that the innocent

Should have nothing to hide

Unless you’re in government

Where secrets have undergone

A miraculous transformation

From signs of suspicion

To things of beauty

And having to answer

The least little question

About their wholesomeness

Is regarded as torture

We don’t have much time — can you help?

With everything going on right now — from escalating white supremacy to the threat of nuclear war to the climate change-fueled disasters across the world — Truthout is working overtime to bring you the latest information as it happens.

But we’re still facing an existential threat to our survival, and we can’t keep publishing without your support. Donations are down across the board, making it absolutely imperative that we raise what we need to meet our news production costs this month.

We’ve been proudly donor-supported for two decades, but our future will depend on the action our readers take today. Whether you’re able to make a $5 monthly donation, or give more — we need you. 

Please, do what you can to help us get through this trying time.
