07 July 19 We Are Not Getting Any Donations For the day so far: 10,000 readers, resulting in 6 donations totaling $55. How long will that last? Not long. We need roughly 700 donations for a sustainable month of fundraising. 700 people visit every hour. We should literally be able to finish any fundraiser in one day. What on earth is the problem?

07 July 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News THE WINGNUTS WILL FUND THEIR ORACLES, YOU CAN BE SURE: The right wing will fund their oracles, that's a given. We are told that we will always be without means, never know stability, never be able to provide. One more lie after another. We know what to do with a budget. We know how to apply it, how to grow something of value to the community with it. Let's give them something to talk about. Thank you all sincerely. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
