ONE SMALL
CONTRIBUTION FROM GRANNY D: When we first got started in political publishing we
got a small but very important contribution from none other than, Doris "Granny D" Haddock. Granny D was a tireless
advocate for Campaign Finance Reform. We always thought Campaign Finance Reform
was important but she taught us how important. We are once again preparing to
cover the 2014 election cycle from a NOT FOR SALE perspective. We will take you
inside the major races and stay in the middle of the fight all the way through
November. All without high priced political advertising, PAC Money or Dark
Money. Help RSN, it’s a good fight. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported

When Students
Are Compelled to Have "White Privilege 101" Classes
John McWhorter, The Daily Beast
McWhorter writes: "The question, then, becomes: Precisely what benefit do White Privilege 101 lessons add to all of what there already is? (Again, 'knowing about White Privilege' is not an answer.) What are we hoping will happen in the wake of these lessons that hasn't been happening before, and crucially, upon what evidence has that hope been founded?"

Why It's
Impossible for the Kremlin to Lie About Putin's Weird
Disappearance
Julia Ioffe, The Washington Post
Ioffe writes: "It's been more than a week now since anybody's seen Russian President Vladimir Putin. He had a mundane meeting with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on March 5, and then...nothing. Since then, Putin hasn't been seen in public, and the Russian blogosphere can talk about nothing else."

Jessica
Valenti | Feminists Don't Hate Men. But It Wouldn't Matter if We
Did
Jessica Valenti, Guardian UK
Valenti writes: "When women hate men, we hurt their feelings. When men hate women, they kill us: mass shootings have been attributed to misogyny, and sexual and domestic violence against women is often fuelled by a hatred for women. That's why it's so hard to take seriously any claims that 'misandry' is a tremendous problem."
