It's disappointing to hear people (liberals, progressives, Democrats) dismiss Rush Limbaugh as simply a "clown," or a "blowhard," or "an idiot," or, more thoughtfully, as "a political entertainer and not a political pundit," as if his 14-15 million reported regular listeners didn't count for anything--as if they didn't vote or make political contributions. Let's not kid ourselves. Limbaugh's audience doesn't regard him as a joke. They regard him as a modern day prophet.

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
