23 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News $150.00 Renewal Contribution: Too small a contribution for an invaluable service for a blind America.

Masha Gessen | Trump's Opponents Aren't Arguing for "Open Borders" - but Maybe They Should  Masha Gessen, The New Yorker Gessen writes: "Now seems like a good moment to admit that we don't know what we are talking about when it comes to immigration.

Julian Assange's Health Is Deteriorating

Dear Friend, Assange’s physical and psychological health has been severely compromised due to his confinement. By as early as 2014, Assange was suffering health problems. In an article for the Daily Mail, journalist Sarah Oliver described Assange’s appearance: “His usually pale skin is now almost translucent and on his face it is so puffy it looks as if it is lifting off his naturally sharp cheekbones.

His eyes have navy pools of shadow beneath them, suggesting that he’s shifted from nocturnal to sleep-deprived.” Chapter 3 of Dr Punyabrata Gun's memoir of Shankar Guha Niyogi and his movement.  Also more stories from around the world.  If you don't mind, and if you think the content of this news letter is critical for the dignified living and survival of humanity and other species on earth, please forward it to your friends...
