I hope you found this article interesting and substantive, but also—most importantly—free from distractions and free of a paywall. The reason we can stand up to the Trump administration and corporate influence is because of our independence. We don’t have billionaire backers, we’re no longer taking advertising money from Big Tech, and we’ll never have a paywall. To sustain and grow our newsroom, we need readers like you to support us. We’re still behind on our spring campaign goal, but a generous donor has stepped up to match every gift between now and the end of our campaign. This doubles your impact. Will you be one of the 100 people we need to add before the end of the campaign?
