This sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?   Well,
it’s not.  We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl
Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action.

All we
have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary
Committee
, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to
jail.  We’ve never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove
accountable.  No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it’s a huge start, and will
send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration.

We put together this video to explain the issues surrounding
Rove’s failure to testify before Congress, and why Rove should be
held in contempt and sent to jail.  Check out Send Karl Rove
to Jail,
and sign our
petition
to ensure that the HJC holds Rove in contempt. 

Today at 1pm ET / 10am PT, the first episode of Meet the
Bloggers
will air live, and Karl Rove will be the big
topic of discussion with bloggers Marcy Wheeler, Liliana Segura,
Baratunde Thurston, and special guest Arianna Huffington.  The
video will be featured on the show, sign the petition, forward it
to friends (don’t forget
to Digg it
), and go to meetthebloggers.org to send
in your own thoughts, and join the discussion at 1pm ET. 

If you can’t watch live, you can always see what was
discussed on the show anytime you want at meetthebloggers.org.

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,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
