   "Wikipedia still can't be sold," says the headline on the donation page. Which also means it can't be bought and wrecked by fascist oligarchs.

   It's an Internet treasure, and it's under attack from some of the world's worst people. Elon Musk's vicious denunciation of this irreplaceable resource would be shameful for someone who had an ounce of shame.

   This is one of most important donations I make each year. I hope you'll join me in supporting Wikipedia.

     @dangillmor I stopped donating to Wikipedia after I noticed that some parts of it are basically just political propaganda. I was banned for trying to make articles more neutral.
     
     They specifically hate feminist points of view and don't want them to be mentioned, no matter how prominent the feminist. Saying "such and such feminist has opened so and so" is not allowed because people shouldn't even hear the opinion according to Wikipedia.
