Folks You Gotta Help With the Fundraiser

“Reader Supported News” does not, cannot exist without Reader Support. It becomes an oxymoron. Worse it becomes someone else’s pet. This thing you love, that you trust, is something funded by you.

That’s why it works for you day-in-and-day-out.

Please chip in.

15 June 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News 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 Sure, I'll make a donation!

TRUMP MADNESS

“In my 35 years at the @nytimes, I’ve covered lots of authoritarians around the world. Many have lashed out at me or The Times, although rarely using Stalinist language like this. I’ve been threatened with deportation, arrest, execution. But in the end we’ve outlasted them, and the latest such leader—the genocidal Omar Bashir of Sudan—was just ousted and imprisoned this month. Sure, we make mistakes. Of course we welcome criticism. But venomous denunciations of “enemies of the people” have no place in a democracy, and in my experience authoritarians who ride the back of a tiger end up inside. We are better than this
