16 May 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News SO THIS ORGANIZATION WAS BUILT ON READER DONATIONS - Everything you see, everything our authors write, everything we send you is, and always has been financed 100% by reader donations. People just like you, just like me. This is the first community in our 17 year history that refuses to respond to funding appeals. Not to come, just to contribute.

Who are you and how do we get you to contribute? / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Tom Engelhardt | An Empire of Nothing at All?  Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch Engelhardt writes: "In reality, the costs of America's wars, still spreading in the Trump era, are incalculable."
