My donations are small, but consistent. Retired Colorado school counselors have to budget the funds they donate to worthy organizations. For RSN, I always make sure I donate at least twice what I pay for the Denver Post.
I need the Post for some volunteer work, but it doesn't come close to being as informative as RSN. I hope others who find this resource valuable...clearly there are thousand of them...will pitch in. What if we ALL donate a little?

"MAGA Bomber" Cesar Sayoc Was Radicalized by Trump and Fox News, His Lawyers Claim
Luke Barnes, ThinkProgress
Barnes writes: "Cesar Sayoc, who spawned a week of panic and a massive federal manhunt last October after he mailed a series of pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and media figures, was a cognitively limited and emotionally traumatized man who fell into a paranoid alternate reality thanks to misinformation and Trump's rhetoric, his lawyers argued this week."
