Donations to RSN are significantly lower in September than they had been just one month ago in August.
Specifically the $30 donations. We have 63 fewer $30 donations this month than last month. That’s a big drop.
The $30 donation is what built RSN and has sustained the organization from its inception. It is the backbone of our process.
Who can spare $30?

Why Bernie Sanders Matters
Seth Ackerman, Jacobin
Ackerman writes: "The rationale for Bernie Sanders's brand of politics has always been that it's better to aim at shifting the basic parameters of American politics - however difficult that may be - than accepting those parameters and trying to maneuver within them."

'I Shot an Innocent Man,' Says Former Dallas Officer on Trial for Murder of Neighbor

EXCERPT:
During opening statements Monday in Guyger’s murder trial, prosecutors offered a reason: She was distracted by the sexually explicit conversation she had been having with her partner on the police force, Martin Rivera.
They had been in an intimate relationship for the past year, prosecutors say, and spent hours swapping messages about being “super horny” and wanting to meet later that night. After a 16-minute phone call with Rivera, Guyger was so consumed that she didn’t process the “repeatedly obvious signs” that something wasn’t right, Assistant Dallas County District Attorney Jason Hermus told jurors.
“All of these things that she’s aware of, she just doesn’t let them get here,” he said, gesturing toward his head. “And that failure cost Bo his life.”

razil's main environmental agency said on Thursday the source of a sprawling oil spill along the northeast coast remains unknown, but that the crude oil was not produced in the country.
The spill stretches over 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) of Brazil's northeast coast, affecting 46 cities and around one hundred of the country's nicest beaches since being first detected on Sept. 2.
Brazilian television has shown slicks at sea and oil puddles along shores, as well as turtles covered in black tar. Other marine life has also been found dead.
The institute said that the assessment of the quality of fish caught in affected areas for human consumption is the responsibility of Brazil's health surveillance agency.
President Jair Bolsonaro has been widely criticized for rolling back environmental regulations and monitoring since taking office in January.
Massive forest fires this summer have destroyed large swaths of the Amazon, drawing international condemnation of Brazil's management of the environment.
