A Large Dedicated Audience Averse to Supporting The Project

We have a unique problem. A large dedicated audience that is averse to supporting the project. While there may be reasons, good and bad, the net effect is a constant headache for everyone.

To expect that 1% of the subscribers would respond to the funding appeals seems like a modest aspiration.

We are going to have to find a way to raise the level of participation. You apparently rely on RSN, and we clearly rely on you.

Need to find a way to make this work.

ON FUNDING THE STAKES ARE HIGH - The stakes are high. We can have a powerful, influential publication - that serves the community or we can have nothing. It's a thin line. "We the community" often get less, because we accept less. Enough of that. Watch us fight, you fight too. Step up with what you can afford, watch what we do with it. In peace and solidarity. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

FOCUS: Robert Reich | Trump Is Seriously, Frighteningly Unstable - the World Is in Danger

Robert Reich, Guardian UK
Reich writes: "In retrospect, what's most disturbing about 'Sharpiegate' isn't Trump's clumsy effort to doctor a National Weather Service map or even his brazen move to get the same agency to lie on his behalf."

EXCERPT: 

Two Republicans who have announced primary challenges to him have suggested another possibility: the 25th amendment.

Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld recently tweeted that Trump is “a clear and present danger” to the US, with the hashtag “#25thAmendment”. Former Illinois representative Joe Walsh says the amendment should be “looked at”.

Ratified in 1967, it allows the vice-president to become “acting president” when “the vice-president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or such other body as Congress may by law provide” declare a president incapacitated.

The only attribute Vice-President Mike Pence has displayed so far is sycophancy: most recent illustration, overnighting at Trump’s golf resort in Ireland. But with rumors flying that Trump might exchange him for another lapdog, who knows? Maybe Pence will discover some cojones.
