22 December 17 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE'RE FIGHTING A BATTLE AND WE NEED FINANCING: To do what we do on a daily basis we need financing. We often say that we do not, or will not take corporate/commercial financing. Quite true, but more importantly they wouldn't be likely to give it to us anyway. So let's raise funds the old fashioned way: One Reader, one donation at a time. Thank you sincerely in advance. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Jane Mayer | Racial Bias, Illegal Campaign Activity and the Shadow of Donald Trump  Jane Mayer, The New Yorker Mayer writes: "Turning Point's aim is to foment a political revolution on America's college campuses, in part by funnelling money into student government elections across the country to elect right-leaning candidates. But it is secretive about its funding and its donors, raising the prospect that 'dark money...

‘Vote her in next, Massachusetts’ — $15 minimum wage, paid family leave ballot questions to be dropped — KENNEDY joins hunger strike 06/27/2018 07:17 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

ROSENBERG OUT — CAPUANO and PRESSLEY’s first face-off — Remembering State Rep. CHRIS WALSH 05/04/2018 07:30 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) TGIF, MASSACHUSETTS.  What a week. ROSENBERG DEPARTS -  As of 5 p.m. today, the saga of  Stan Rosenberg  is over, as far as the state Senate is concerned. Rosenberg announced yesterday that as a result of the findings of the Senate investigation, he would step down effective on Friday. His announcement came as more senators joined the chorus of critics urging the former Senate president to step down - including incoming Senate President  Karen Spilka . Rosenberg's departure represents a heavy blow to the western Massachusetts district he represents. While he had not served in a leadership role in the Senate since December, his departure - and the February death of state Rep.  Peter Kocot  - mean...

A tale of two democracies, India and USA

Dear Friend, This was one of the most eventful and traumatic days in recent history in two of the most powerful democracies in the world. The president of the 'democratic' USA called Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shitholes countries”. This is the lowest a democracy can get.  In India, the most populous 'democracy' in the world, four Supreme Court judges publicly spoke against the Chief Justice of India and his way of functioning. It is unprecedented in India. Perhaps, things like this never happened any other democratic country. Unlike the Trump 'shithole' it gives an iota of hope. It gives us hope that at least there are some responsible persons in India who are ready to stand up for real democracy. They publicly said "democracy in India is at stake". It really is. It is the responsibility of all democratic minded persons to stand up for justice.  People yearn for alternatives to industrial agriculture, but they are worri...
