Some Times Square Perspective

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

You know, I get that questioning authority is a good thing and skepticism of the system can be a virtue. But Jeez. The Times Square bomber was caught within 48 hours, placed into custody, and is providing us with tons of information. Not bad! What’s more, if I remember right, pretty much everything we thought we knew about the Christmas bomber in the week after his terror attempt turned out to be wrong. I know there are elections to win and all that, but maybe this time we should all calm down just a hair and wait to piece together the entire story before deciding that everything was a complete clusterfuck?
