The traditional press is up in arms over John McCain’s latest dishonest
ad attacking Barack Obama. MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell called the ad
completely wrong, factually wrong!The New York Times said it was “a
false account of what occurred.
The Washington Post said the ad offered
“no evidence” to support McCain’s claims. And Media Matters tracks the
timeline of the smear in detail.

McCain must disavow this ad and make sure it never airs again. We won’t
let this race degenerate into ad distortions like the last election; we
won’t be silent in the face of lies. That’s why we created this video
entitled When McCain Attacks.

Help end McCain’s campaign of dishonesty. Sign our petition to compel
McCain to disavow this ad and yank it from the air. Then send it to all
your friends, family members, and colleagues
. Tell them to spread it to
everyone they know, and Digg it!

Hurry, because we’re already seeing McCain’s lies insidiously spread by other news outlets. Join us in declaring that we’ve had enough lies and dishonesty, we’re ready for a new kind of politics.

We cannot back down

We now confront a second Trump presidency.

There’s not a moment to lose. We must harness our fears, our grief, and yes, our anger, to resist the dangerous policies Donald Trump will unleash on our country. We rededicate ourselves to our role as journalists and writers of principle and conscience.

Today, we also steel ourselves for the fight ahead. It will demand a fearless spirit, an informed mind, wise analysis, and humane resistance. We face the enactment of Project 2025, a far-right supreme court, political authoritarianism, increasing inequality and record homelessness, a looming climate crisis, and conflicts abroad. The Nation will expose and propose, nurture investigative reporting, and stand together as a community to keep hope and possibility alive. The Nation’s work will continue—as it has in good and not-so-good times—to develop alternative ideas and visions, to deepen our mission of truth-telling and deep reporting, and to further solidarity in a nation divided.

Armed with a remarkable 160 years of bold, independent journalism, our mandate today remains the same as when abolitionists first founded The Nation—to uphold the principles of democracy and freedom, serve as a beacon through the darkest days of resistance, and to envision and struggle for a brighter future.

The day is dark, the forces arrayed are tenacious, but as the late Nation editorial board member Toni Morrison wrote “No! This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

I urge you to stand with The Nation and donate today.

Onwards,
