Originally inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year series, this collection is a statement about climate change, and the threat it poses to all of us. As polarized as the nation is, we all share this common concern. This series is a collaboration of images that have come to me from friends and colleagues and even strangers from all across America—all of whom have been suffering from the effects of the smoke from wildfires. Bringing people together through this collaborative effort, and finding beauty and humor in the chaos, has been unifying for us all.
A second Trump administration will cement a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court for a generation, and put our collective future in the hands of someone who will be virtually unchecked by our institutions. The country has shifted rightward, and the reverberations will ensue for potentially the next few decades. In this climate, a robust independent media ecosystem will be more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on how Trump's agenda will actually affect the American people, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in this country.
Quality journalism is expensive to produce, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund what we do. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make our work possible. Any amount you give today will help us continue reporting on what matters to our democracy.
