RSN: Sanders Upsets Clinton in Nevada Delegate Count, How George Wallace Harnessed Hate



Think about it! 

Southern States that have promoted RACISM, HATE and INTOLERANCE are economically backward, poorly educated and being supported by wealthier, PROGRESSIVE states. 



North Carolina just shot itself in the economic foot!

A Quick Report on March Fundraising
So it's a tale of two months, February and March. We raised almost exactly the same amount of money in each month. The big difference was that we completed the February drive in "16" days and the March drive took "22" days. A full 6 days longer.
Good news, we saw a lot of new names in the donation receipts, and in fact, more donors overall. The average donation was smaller so that might have factored into the duration equation.
A lot of you stepped up for Reader Supported News.
Salute.

Excerpt: "What do you expect to come out as the media product of a system of major corporations selling audiences to other corporations in close interaction with a major power system, state power, that there all very much interlocked with? That's basically common sense."

ederal officials are considering whether North Carolina’s new law restricting LGBT protections makes the state ineligible for federal aid for schools, highways and housing, the officials said Friday.
Officials from the federal transportation, education and housing and urban development departments have said they will review the law and determine if it will impact funding to the state, the New York Times reported. The White House has expressed disapproval for the law but has not commented directly on how it could affect federal aid.
Such a move could aid arguments to repeal the law, after North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory told residents it would not jeopardize federal money for education.
The law bans local governments in the state from enacting anti-discrimination measures to protect the LGBT community and has quickly drawn criticism from officials in other states and companies that do business in the North Carolina. The state’s attorney general called it a “national embarrassment.” It would also require that students can only use school bathrooms that match their sex at birth.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, accused the bank of glossing over the risks in toxic residential mortgage-backed securities and 'structured investment vehicles' it had marketed between 2004 and 2007."
