Rall’s section of political toons is called “Tales From the Crypt of Democracy.” Truthout was selected to post a sampling of Rall’s work, which follows.
You can obtain “Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps” from Truthout. In the book, which is illustrated by Rall and with and introduction by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Palast warns of more than a decade of ongoing Republican efforts to mug democracy – and explains how they do it. And you’ll also get Palast’s “Why We Occupy” DVD free, which includes a Palast talk, a rant by Lee Camp, and a variety of other video segments. Make a minimum donation and support progressive writers and Truthout. You’ll get the book and DVD by clicking here.
25 Years of Truthout: An important fundraising appeal
This September, Truthout is celebrating 25 years of publication. For over two decades, we have been a trusted source for fiercely independent journalism thanks to readers like you.
As we look to the next 25 years, we have launched a special fundraising campaign. Looking to a sustainable future for our publication, we have a fundraising goal of $71,000 in the next 5 days.
We are asking for your support at this juncture because we face greater threats than ever before in our organizational history. Trump and his MAGA allies are determined to control the information ecosystem, and movement-based organizations are subject to dangerous censorship and scrutiny.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work and our legacy. Anything you can do makes a difference!
