The #Grifters running #Amerikkka are calling public media a grift! Probably because they embrace DEI and aren't afraid to criticize the #Fascist administration! This will not only cripple or destroy #PublicTelevision stations, #CommunityRadio like #WMPG also receives money from the #CPB!!!

White House calls #NPR and #PBS a “grift,” will ask Congress to rescind funding

By Jon Brodkin, April 15, 2025

Excerpt: "In a statement provided to Ars today, PBS CEO Paula Kerger said that 'the effort underway to get Congress to rescind public media funding would disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people. There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress... Without PBS member stations, Americans will lose unique local programming and emergency services in times of crisis.' "

@cdarwin this is really interesting. The trump admin has had a hard on for this specific man since 2019.

But this paragraph on page 10 is REALLY INTERESTING. It’s weird I didn’t hear about the same thing (minus the abuse prison) happening during biden’s term.

This isn’t “trumps America”. This is just abusive America like it has always been.

🪭I’m seeing people calling what Cory Booker did a “long speech” rather than “a filibuster” even though all a filibuster is is a debating giving a long speech.

In his case, he held up a senate confirmation.

Why are we creating a “separate but equal” category of filibuster here?

So segregationist Strom Thurmond can keep the record?

Once again, the incredible Jessica Craven has a a great explainer video on the small ways all Americans can fight back against #fascism. STEP 1: Call your representatives 1-3 times a week and just tell them what’s bothering you. It works! STEP 2: Attend a #tesla takedown protest. It’s working! STEP 3: Be careful how you spend your money—make big businesses regret supporting #trump and his #fascist regime! #amerikkka #fuckfascism #hope #freedom #democracy #resist
