What to Do With the Ballroom in 2029?

"Over the past year you've read writers like Elie Mystal, Kaveh Akbar, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Bryce Covert, Dave Zirin, Jeet Heer, Michael T. Klare, Katha Pollitt, Amy Littlefield, Gregg Gonsalves, and Sasha Abramsky take on the Trump family's corruption, set the record straight about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s catastrophic Make America Healthy Again movement, survey the fallout and human cost of the DOGE wrecking ball, anticipate the Supreme Court's dangerous antidemocratic rulings, and amplify successful tactics of resistance on the streets and in Congress."

"In 2026, our aim is to do more than ever before-but we need your support to make that happen. Through December 31, a generous donor will match all donations up to $75,000. That means that your contribution will be doubled, dollar for dollar. If we hit the full match, we'll be starting 2026 with $150,000 to invest in the stories that impact real people's lives-the kinds of stories that billionaire-owned, corporate-backed outlets aren't covering."

"With your support, our team will publish major stories that the president and his allies won't want you to read. We'll cover the emerging military-tech industrial complex and matters of war, peace, and surveillance, as well as the affordability crisis, hunger, housing, healthcare, the environment, attacks on reproductive rights, and much more. At the same time, we'll imagine alternatives to Trumpian rule and uplift efforts to create a better world, here and now."

Writers covered the Trump family's corruption, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement, the fallout from the DOGE wrecking ball, and anticipated Supreme Court antidemocratic rulings while amplifying resistance tactics. Reporting also examined community abductions, rising household debt, and AI data center impacts on water and electricity. A generous donor will match donations through December 31 up to $75,000, doubling contributions and potentially creating a $150,000 starting fund for 2026. Funding priorities include the military-tech industrial complex, war and surveillance, affordability, hunger, housing, healthcare, environment, and attacks on reproductive rights, alongside imagining alternatives and uplifting efforts to create a better world.
