THE TRUTH ON DONATIONS (MAY HURT) The problem on donations is the extent to which people ignore the fundraisers. When we say, “we do not need people to give more, we need more people to give” that cuts to the heart of the problem. The people who give, are giving plenty. But they are only 0.5% of the people who visit RSN every month. It’s the other 99.5% who are here but – never contribute – that’s what makes funding the organization so difficult. Changing that is a matter of survival. In earnest. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

As the school year looms, the pandemic is still raging.

 brief history of the past four months in America:

Experts: Don’t rush to reopen, this isn’t over.

Donald Trump: LIBERATE!

Covid-19: Wheee!

Trump officials: Here’s our opposition research on Anthony Fauci.

None of this had to happen. Other countries stuck with their lockdowns long enough to reduce infections to rates much lower than those prevailing here; Covid-19 death rates per capita in the European Union are only a 10th those in the United States — and falling — while ours are rising fast. As a result, they’re in a position to reopen schools fairly safely.
