\u201cLong overdue: Whistleblower Reality Winner has been released from prison and is now in home confinement https://t.co/65CiMrHnSk\u201d— Freedom of the Press (@Freedom of the Press) 1623694551
\u201cA sobering reminder that while Paul Manafort serves his prison sentence from home and Roger Stone has his sentence commuted, Reality Winner, who revealed to reporters a 2016 attempt by foreign state actors to subvert voter software, remains in a federal prison overrun by Covid19.\u201d— The Sparrow Project (@The Sparrow Project) 1594431083
\u201c#RealityWinner blew the whistle on election vulnerabilities in 2016, but because her disclosures benefitted the people, not powerful Democrats, she's only just now in transition out of prison. Telling the truth is not a crime. \u270d\ud83c\udffd #FreeRealityWinner at https://t.co/65xkO2mPeH\u201d— @team@fightforthefuture.org on Mastodon (@@team@fightforthefuture.org on Mastodon) 1623703077
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
