RSN: Robert Reich | Why Elon Musk Has Blocked Me on Twitter (and Now Owns the Joint)

 

Serious Fund-Raising, Here and Now

Reader Supported News is surviving and maintaining services in the most challenging fundraising environment our organization has ever seen. But just barely. Today we ask for the support of all RSN readers who can afford to give. This will be a good fund-raiser.

Thanks to all in advance.

WE HAVE A SERIOUS STRUGGLE FOR FUNDING, FINE — So be it. If we have to fight with the vast majority of our readers who will not donate fine, to preserve this project we will do it. For April over 250,000 people have come to Reader Supported News, “114” have donated. Let’s fight that, for the greater good. Sorry.
