Great article below about North Carolina's bigotry and the economic costs.....
But that didn't stop businesses from deciding not to open factories there or groups from deciding not to hold their conventions there or Bruce Springsteen from deciding not to hold a concert there.

On Donations a Nice Start, and a Dead Stop
We were very gratified with the way the February funding drive began. With good response from small and large donors alike it appeared we would finish relatively quickly. Unfortunately we have stalled and now nothing is coming in. So far we received 220 donations for the month and served 481,635 readers in that same time period. Donate, it's painless and Reader Supported News grows stronger.
Sincere thanks to all.

Frida Berrigan | A Mother Confronts the Wounded Ego of the Century
Frida Berrigan, Tom Dispatch
Berrigan writes: "So far, I've dealt with Donald Trump's bid for the White House as performance art: a clever, full-body, self-marketing scheme in the fashion of actor Joaquin Phoenix restyling himself as a hip hop artist to promote his mockumentary I'm Still Here. I keep waiting for the Trump-presidential-run punch line."
