Do you give a damn about the future of this country?

The guardrails protecting democracy may have buckled, but they are not broken. Autocratic forces are ascendant in America—yes, it can happen here, and did—but the story isn’t fully written. Truth-telling independent media is one remaining bulwark against Trump’s unrestrained exercise of power. Our nonprofit newsroom is built for what’s ahead. No oligarchs or billionaires can tell us what to publish. Depend on it, and please stand with us.

Nearly a year since the COVID-19 pandemic transformed our lives, there is still so much more we have to learn about the virus. Meanwhile, misinformation continues to flood our social feeds and personal circles, making it even more challenging to navigate our health and safety.

As we await vaccines, treatments, and improvements in public health leadership, join Emmy Award-winning journalist, epidemiologist, medical doctor, and author of the upcoming book, Viral BS (Jan. 12, 2021), Dr. Seema Yasmin and Mother Jones senior editor Kiera Butler as they discuss why viral rumors about coronavirus are so persistent, how the Biden administration can combat misinformation, and how we can stop the spread of unfounded rumors in our own communities.
