This week on RadioNation: our year in review. It’s the best
segments and most compelling interviews from 2008. JoAnn Wypijewski from
Ohio on the eve of the “white working class primary;” Victor Navasky on
what media got it the most wrong on Iraq; Arthur Danto on the state of
modern art; Naomi Klein from July predicting what happened in September;
and John Nichols and Sarah Goldberg report from Alaska on Sarah Palin.

Also a programming note this week, as we’re transitioning
RadioNation. RadioNation with Laura Flanders as of next
week becomes GRIT Radio with Laura Flanders, produced in
conjunction with her television program, GRIT TV. The program will be
faster paced and still feature Nation guests, but include more
roundtable discussions and debates. If you are signed up for the RSS
feed your feed will not change. The program will still appear weekly in
this space as well until mid-2009, when The Nation will introduce
a new series of podcasts and audio. For more visit GRIT TV.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
