To calculate the quotient of
Unnecessary pain
One multiplies
Unnecessary poetry by crime,
Divides by one one-hundredth a percent
And takes this figure to the power of
The Forbes 500 squared
But for the numerator to be pared
To nil
We need do nothing more than wait
While hydrocarbons and the rising seas
By not-so-fractional degrees
Eliminate
All human misery
For good

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 $100,000 in the next 10 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!
