We have reached the limit of what we can do with the funding we have on hand. In fairness it should never have gotten this far.
Like it or not we have to hold out for cash. The point is that, if we are successful you will still have an RSN to come to.
For real.

White Supremacists Look to Remake the Map of America
Casey Michel, ThinkProgress
Michel writes: "While the idea of breaking the United States into separate racial territories is, of course, ludicrous, it doesn't come without an audience. And if anything, that audience is growing, with flames fanned by actors both foreign and domestic."

Everything We Know About Jeffrey Epstein's Death
Chas Danner and Margaret Hartmann, New York Magazine
Excerpt: "The 66-year-old's death came less than a day after a trove of disturbing court documents was made public offering details about his alleged abuse of dozens of mostly underage girls, as well who assisted him with or participated in the abuse." 

EXCERPT:
Lisa Bloom, who is representing some of Epstein’s victims, said on Sunday that she intends to sue Epstein’s estate on behalf of two clients. It is also possible that the SDNY could try to seize Epstein’s assets with a civil-forfeiture action.
Attorney Lisa Bloom calls on Jeffrey Epstein's estate to freeze his assets "so his victims can get full and fair compensation for the lifelong injuries he's caused them."

We don’t know the number b/c no one bothers to track it. And the press largely ignores it. https://twitter.com/jesserodriguez/status/1160175957476438016
