If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history.
Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30.
It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

But it’s very much worth becoming a passport member of PBS to access the backlog!
What McCarthy did was Trump Lite. We’re living through the same thing, but worse AND like if McC. we’re president.
The common denominator: Roy Cohn represented them both
We’re living in Cohns USA
Plays right into Elons pronatalist movement how he weeds out embryos in his IVF children to repopulate the country- ( he has 14 so far).
Reception was never great, even holding rabbit ears just so, but the audio came through reasonably well.
p.s. you can also watch a rotating selection of free films on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@americanexperiencepbs?si=bw21jXuX0qXhUcU8

Linited wealth by 500 millions, and there were money enough for everyone, healthcare, science, jobs .

I don’t support ass kissers.
I wish I could remember the name of it!
I also find it VERY hard to watch some of the episodes rn, knowing what has become of our country.
I have watched a heap of PBS - excellent on Trump in Scotland - and how insurance companies profit from disasters by charging high amounts for assessments (that they appear to get wrong)
Really good media
But, for those who are able, maybe donate $5 a month to PBS -- it's the best streaming service available.
I've been tooting that horn for a while. All this has happened before, and we scared them so bad, they compromised with us.

Also for only $5/month to your PBS station you can stream everything on your own schedule
Good way to support

plus you can beat this old house and ask this old house
to assuming you can fix things
I’d add to the list of Superb American Experience documentaries:
The Eugenics Crusade.
Nazi Germany reps actually travelled to our country to learn about the movement and would use it in their genocide.
Eye opening & a necessary watch

So parallel
He has 14 and he adds extra” stuff” in his children to improve IQ he also has a chip company implantation has been discussed in his babies ;(
Watching him over the years psychologically & physically not impressed with what he thinks is a superior human model.
Guy acts like a souped up sociopathic cyborg most days. Good for building cars & rockets & murdering grandmas & the disabled it appears. He needs to be blocked
Note that all their documentaries are equally available on YT and their website for free 🌍ly
Never missed one even when living in Europe
Frontline is the same
As is Nova

How it All Ends - right wing think tank report... necessary to complete with China. "China has advantage. People consume less & need less public services"
Be like China. People to work like in China.
He's fantastic.
See what life was like before modern weather forecasting.

Keeps us from making the same mistakes.
Hopefully. Sometimes.
Here is the episode you mention:

When queer filmmakers say they're against us, I listen.
We don't comply early with Nazis. If you do, you're a Nazi.
I will reach out.
Fear of being shut down under a dictatorship and losing funding from various conservative sources is one thing. If they actually believe that DEI is to be done away with is another.
I supported them for 20 years, but they clearly don't want my trans money.
Tell me how other non-profits, like NPR, still have theirs. Or even for profits like Costco.
We're boycotting Amazon, Meta, Target, and Walmart for the same reasons. I'm adding PBS.

If you have a Smart TV, you might be able to subscribe. On YouTube, you can get them for free.
FRONTLINE is a great news show on PBS that's also on YouTube.

Also, The Great Migration hosted by Professor Gates jr
it might be time for Blue Voters to migrate out the south
republicans are no longer beholden to the constitution
I dont know why, but maybe there's some interest here in the history of America as told by the intellectual inspiration for MAGA.
I always loved this professors work, but it's more relevant today than 13 years ago.
It's a "Frontier" mentality conservatives cling to.

And what a life it was. Dangerous jobs for 80 hour weeks with paltry wages, no plumbing, education only for the rich, putrid water, epidemics, recessions and depressions, Jim Crow, no rights.
Good times.

No, we boycott anyone who complies with this nonsense. NPR isn't.
Y'all need to understand the MAGAs are in non-profits and universities, too.
They're not going to get another cent of my trans paycheck.
Firing an entire office doesn't protect employees.
Like I said, I gave monthly for 20 years. No more.
Fuck people who comply with Nazis. Full stop.
