NPR just sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order gutting federal funding for public media.
Kudos to them for standing up for the First Amendment. It reminds me of when Mr. Rogers stood up to Nixon's attempts to gut public broadcasting 56 years ago.

The students kind of mocked the choice at a time based on previous speakers.
Those who grew up on PBS, Sesame Street & Mister Rogers, even in reruns, felt he would not speak like the audience was adults.
He exceeded expectations, as a minister, teacher, orator, & motivator.
Maybe if they took a stronger stance, other legacy media would've joined them, and we could've avoided this fascism altogether.
To believe that the two plights aren't connected is ignorant.
Meanwhile in Sweden, the Tidö government is doing its damnedest to slaughter public service too... This means serious consequences for Swedish Radio. 😭 Now, an additional 300–400 positions will disappear from SR alone… https://www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/allvarliga-konsekvenser-for-sveriges-radio
Notice the senator or congressman NOT screaming over Mr. Rogers testimony?
Now compare with some recent days in our current governmental halls.
