Honest, paywall-free news is rare. Please support our boldly independent journalism with a donation of any size.
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
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
An urgent fundraising appeal: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (10 days left).
