Can Time Inc. Survive the Kochs? November 28, 2017 By Jane Mayer
..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle. Will they feel as free to do so now?"...

International Human Rights Volunteers Needed in Palestine
The International Women’s Peace Service (IWPS) is a small team of international female human-rights activists in Palestine. The organization is run entirely by volunteers, committed to peace and justice. IWPS is currently inviting applications from women who would like to join our team of long-term volunteers. Successful applicants will be invited to one of our 6 day training programs in the US or UK in September 2011 and will serve a minimum of one 3 month term in the West Bank, Palestine, as well as supporting our work outside of Palestine.
Applicants should be able to commit to further terms in Palestine of one to three months for a three-year period. Short-term volunteers are also welcome to apply (through our usual application process) for minimum volunteer periods of 3 weeks. Please apply as soon as possible to be considered for the next training, as places are limited. Experienced IWPS volunteers, who freely give their time, will provide the training.
Trainers include the author of http://wordsfrompalestine.org and Anna Baltzer, author of “A Witness in Palestine” and http://www.annainthemiddleeast.com.
