Saturday we served 21,820 readers. 18 of those people said “yes I will help.” Though their numbers were small, their impact was huge.
We are working as hard as we can to close the March funding gap.

Adam Gopnik | The Pros and Cons of Impeaching Trump
Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker
Gopnik writes: "A point common to all the anti-impeachment arguments, though, comes right out of an old Western; as the lawmen used to say about the cattle-rustling varmint after he was caught, 'Hanging's too good for him.' In this case, impeachment is seen as too rarefied, too technical a proceeding to end Trumpism."

I'm a Public Defender. My Clients Get None of the Sympathy Manafort Did.
Rachel Marshall, The Washington Post
Marshall writes: "When I heard Paul Manafort had been sentenced to a mere 47 months in prison for eight criminal charges involving extensive tax and bank fraud, I thought back to my first client, a man I represented in 2010 through a Stanford Law School clinic that challenged life sentences imposed for minor offenses."

Thoreau's Great Insight for the Anthropocene: Wildness Is an Attitude, Not a Place
Robert M. Thorson, The Conversation
Thorson writes: "When Americans quote writer and naturalist Henry David Thoreau, they often reach for his assertion that 'In Wildness is the preservation of the world.' This phrase elicited little response when Thoreau first read it during a lecture in 1851. A century later, however, it had become a guiding mantra for the American environmental movement, adopted by the Sierra Club as its motto and launched into the cultural stratosphere via bumper stickers, T-shirts and posters."
