This week on RadioNation with Laura Flanders, we take a roller coaster ride through a country on the verge of change and make some bold predictions about Election 2008. This Tuesday it’s a new type of ground game up against old dog whistle racism and vote suppression versus rising hopes of a Democratic landslide. Chris Hayes and Leslie Savan sound off on the Presidential race; John Nichols previews the Senate, the Congress, and the impact of third parties; Andrew Gumbel assesses the threat of widespread vote suppression; and Ari Melber and Ludovic Blain ask if Tuesday will be the last stand for racist campaign politics. Listen to the broadcast here.

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,
