U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to stop financing U.S.-funded media including Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is stirring anger and indignation.

It seems to elude @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @ec.europa.eu @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu @consilium.europa.eu that it was pro-fascist Russia EU members (Orban, Fico, ) that wanted them shut down....... https://bsky.app/profile/mehdirhasan.bsky.social/post/3lkl3obslb22d
The receipts are out! Everyone call your representatives & ask what they are doing about the stolen election. Election truth alliance has the receipts. Go to their Substack or their website. See the evidence for yourselves & YOU call ur rep. Don’t assume someone else is going to do it for you
Trump, the great Defender of Democracy™, has silenced Voice of America, because who needs journalism when you’ve got Truth Social? Welcome to 2025, where facts are fake and propaganda reigns!
Come on BBC world service - step up and stop eroding that august organisation’s presence m in the world. Trump is handing propaganda to the Russians & Chinese - on a plate. It was all there in Project 2025!
Epic AH in chief! Just amazing how many law enforcement bodies are still taking orders from criminals & a government who is thrashing the constitution plus unelected AHs! Even worse is the armed forces taking orders from these criminal ghouls, just an amazing state of affairs!
My Greatest and Heartfelt Solidarity for these Intellectual Journalists But It Sounds Strange that in the USA🇺🇸 a (neo-reactionary movement) NR❌ behind the Republicans did not Play to Eliminate Freedom of Speech Civil Rights and the elimination of the Welfare and Intellectual State
As someone who had the honour of meeting the members of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in Tbilisi, this has only one possible explanation: the #USA (under #Trump) doesn't want to promote democracy, because it doesn't want to defend democracies
Does it? The article only cites anger by the heads of the organisations affected. Where is the anger and outrage in society? Zero, invisible. Nobody cares. That's exactly the problem with the US presently. Nobody really cares about values, the bigger picture, and solidarity. Utterly disappointing.
