This week on RadioNation: John Nichols and Michelle Goldberg come back from Alaska with some pretty frightening stories to tell about Sarah Palin*. Plus, in the debate over the Bush Administration’s proposed bailout plan for Wall St, the rubber hit the road. Who rules the legislature–the voters or the financiers? We’ll talk with former Banking Committee chief Economist Robert Johnson and the AFL-CIO’s Thea Lee. And also: the peace movement sits down with Iranian President Ahmandinejad and Howard Zinn talks about political boldness and a new New Deal. Click here to listen to the broadcast.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,
