I was a former New York Times subscriber, unfortunately. But thank goodness I found Democracy Now, because unlike the NYT, Democracy Now provides in-depth journalism that is unafraid to challenge the Trump admin’s fascist regime and actually acknowledges the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Thank you Democracy Now! Keep up the excellent journalism!

I have to gird myself before getting into it but this show reports on events that are important but seldom covered. I always feel torn because the opening theme is an absolute banger and I'm rocking out and then Amy will be like, "state troopers in the capital of Pretendia opened fire on protesters today, killing hundreds…"
Paul is dead · Feb 2026
Love the content and reporting, but was very disturbed when the cheery background jazz intro continued to play, loudly, over a disabled victim’s account of their harrowing experience with ICE on episode 02/10/26. Maybe consider the tone of the show when editing before you publish. I felt this was insensitive and inappropriate.

You won’t get this level of depth and journalistic integrity from mainstream media outlets in the states. Amy, Nermeen, Juan and all of their amazing, dedicated colleagues bring real, objective news that speaks truth to power in a media environment that feels increasingly dangerous to those dedicated to truth and justice. Keep up the good work, friends. You are my North Star.
PeterEamonn · Jan 2026
I have always loved and respected the independent journalism of Democracy Now and have trusted their work for decades. Unfortunately, the episode about Iran on 3/2 was a mouthpiece for Ayatollah Khamenei, who is responsible for the murder of 10’s of thousands of his own people by all accounts. This was not mentioned through the whole episode, and they even made this totalitarian dictator out to be a hero! Truly, deeply disappointing take. Painfully one-sided. It shows that your boxed-in ideology is much more important to you than the people of Iran. :(. You are misleading the public who trusts you and takes your information at face value.

Poignant. Seared my soul to know the real consequences of a war of extermination by one who survived and lives to write poems as a lasting testimony of a suffering people.
Thank you, Amy, for your lifelong commitment to be the voice of the marginalized, the suffering masses crying out for help.
Your stories keep the flame of justice and resistance to power to burn brightly in those who care.
