The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

@msignorile.bsky.social Rick was right right about the different types of due process in the US. If you're rich or due process system treats you different then I'd you're poor. That's the only difference

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Trump now calling people "terrorists" who attack a Tesla is beyond laughable given he called people who waged the Jan. 6 terrorist attack “patriots.” Any attack on a Tesla is 100% Trump's fault. He's the one who normalized political violence. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/tesla-deal...

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Also, I think that it's funny that the target boycott was organized by Black folks and has been really successful, but folks don't wanna count that because it was mostly organized within the Black community and didn't give white folks a chance to insert themselves for photo ops.
