No One Is Safe: How Saudi Arabia Makes Dissidents Disappear

30 July 19 The Only Thing That Can Sink RSN is “Horrible” Fundraising Bad or poor fundraising won’t do it. For RSN to get into any kind of serious trouble, the fundraising has to be flat out horrible. Yesterday, twenty five thousand people visited Reader Supported News, 21 contributed. That must necessarily lead to a crisis. All it takes is “reasonable” support. Marc Ash Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

IT’S JUST A FEW DONATIONS, BUT EACH IS CRITICAL - RSN functions on a tiny fraction of a corporate newsroom budget. It doesn’t take much to make RSN strong and effective. Those few donation, however, are absolutely essential. Stop. Help. It Matters. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Danny Sjursen, TomDispatch
