Dear Reader,

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.Please pitch in if you can: With about a week left, we're right around halfway there, so we need more help than normal right now.

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we hope that giving it to you as matter-of-fact as we can will work to raise the $350,000 we need to raise this month. With about a week left, we're right around halfway there, so we need more help than normal — and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.

You can’t really see it through the shadows, but Domino is viciously attacking some errant blanket trolls on the left. You can’t perceive them, of course, limited as you are to a measly three spacial dimensions, but they were there just moments before this picture was taken. Honest. Inkblot, meanwhile, is enjoying a nice summer day in the garden. And by “enjoying,” of course, I mean “napping.”
