April in Paris
Or autumn in Schenectady,
For falling stars and moonlight
It’s the same old smooth routine
No matter how we kneel
Or even if we topple in,
No matter how we rue
Our squandering
A death is just a death,
No bridge
And this, the rag they left us with,
As common as a tablecloth –
Though more reliable when hoisted high
For cloaking sin
An important fundraising appeal: 7 Days to raise $44,000
Donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Google’s AI search has driven our traffic down by 15 percent, Trump is arresting journalists, and many independent media organizations face heartbreaking cutbacks and closures.
At the same time, 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 and misinformation. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
We are fundraising right now for those basic operating expenses — we need $44,000 in the next 7 days. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference.
