Did you know that Truthout is a nonprofit and independently funded by readers like you? If you value what we do, please support our work with a donation.
We claim that an infinity
Can come from one
That nothing is more virtual
Than empty space
That Nature’s laws
Leave wiggle room and
Never miss another story
Get the news you want, delivered to your inbox every day.
That the vast majority
Of the perceptible is
Dark
Perhaps
In knowing more
About what brought us
Here
And what will bring us
Hence
The further fact that
Neither mass nor energy
Can ever be destroyed
Would help explain
The fate of hope within
This gravity of endless blood
Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
