Support the site, not a position.

A contribution does not buy influence over evidence selection, wording, corrections, or conclusions. There are no paid tiers, priority corrections, or public supporter rankings.

This is support for the independent website, not a fundraiser for John O'Keefe's family, Karen Read, a legal fund, or either party. It is not presented as a charitable donation.
