Each day - somehow - RSN is literally rescued by a handful of donors. Sometimes the are very small donors and sometimes much larger. But it’s always a “few people” that take a moment out of their day to lend their support.
Join them, they can’t do it alone.

he retaliation by Iran has begun. I pray that our sons & daughters in the armed forces are ok. I trust and expect that Iran will keep its promise and kill no American civilians.
Remember—everything you hear from Trump and his cronies about Iran, like everything else he says, is a lie. Thankfully many in the media tonight are saying the same thing regarding his lies about this war. We must resist. We must speak out. We must NOT repeat the lies.
It amazes me that Iran has never attacked this country, never bombed or blew up anything in our country, never killed Americans on this soil, never tried to destroy us — CONSIDERING WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO THEM, an absolute and utterly devastating 70-year history of the USA orchestrating a coup to overthrow the DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED government of Iran (1953), our CIA installing a dictator, whom we anointed as the “Shah of Iran”. He ruled for 25 years as a brutal thug - torture, murder, prisons were filled with the opposition. The people finally rose up in revolution in 1979, they overthrew our puppet Shah and held US hostages for a year. But didn’t kill them. Released them one minute after Reagan was inaugurated. A year later we helped our ally, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, invade Iran. After eight years of war, we had helped Iraq kill nearly a million Iranians. Afterwards we put sanctions and embargoes on the Iranian people, making them suffer even more. They had OUR oil and we were never going to stop putting the screws to them. When we invaded Iraq in 2003, though, Iran saw that they were next, so they jumped in to help the Iraqis kill the invaders — just as we would if Iran invaded Canada. We would send our General Soleimani to Canada and kill as many Iranians as possible. That’s what the real Soleimani did in Iraq — help kill the invaders, the Americans. As would we do. I’m not excusing or justifying anything, I’m just speaking common sense. If you illegally invade another country and kill its civilians, expect to be killed yourself by anyone in the neighborhood because you have no goddamn right to be there.
I’m telling you, this Soleimani was planning no attack on America. It’s all made up by Trump.
