I have already been uncomfortable with the fact that public broadcasting has content that is paid access only. I pay because I value public access to quality. If the quality is compromised I will need to reevaluate. The majority of funding is not federal.

Oh no. Do I need to dump my subscription? I was going to but I keep it for Call the Midwife.

A good government agency is nearly invisible. You have safe food, clean water, stable power etc and you never have to think about it. The best societies have boring bureaucracy notices in the paper and not much else.

Not sure the people running this wouldn't be fine with ending women's sports, and let it go.

It's hard to avoid in the US. My husband was married to an evangelical before me. I have a lot of theological education for a lay person and have been spitting mad at the Church leadership particularly in the US because they cannot all be acting in good faith for us to be where we are.

I'm Catholic married to an atheist who is a better Christian than a substantial portion of my Church leadership even when he's being an a$$. Go for it.

A 504 plan kept us out of truancy court over my chronically ill daughter's absences. Otherwise we would have needed a doctor's note every time, wasting our time and the doctor's because we knew what was wrong.

And again, and again and again do not roll out Dr. Hawking as the example of the great benefit to humanity as an argument for protecting the disabled.
Human beings have worth. Period.
PERIOD.
We are not at a place on the tech tree where we have to take Grandma up a mountain and leave her.

I don't have any ad free tiers but won't this mean everyone downgrades?

My daughter thought she swallowed one. She didn't, but we couldn't find it so we took her to the ER. She was too small to get a coherent story but they xrayed her from her neck to waist as I learned and panicked about what if.

I'm afraid the fund company is too heavily invested to dump everything and is stuffing it in places people might not check.

After my last review in Jan. I got out of green fund and a women's leadership (WTF?) fund that were heavily invested in Tesla.

I've visited NY via public transportation through the 5 boroughs including the dreaded subway. Last visit was a few weeks ago. I have yet to discover the dangerous hellscape people who have never been there imagine. I think it's behind the Friends apartment building

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)
