There's a quick and easy way to make up the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Shift household spending from paid streaming services to donations to a local, over air, public radio and/or TV station.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention

Hurricane Ian (2022) was so massive, Hurricane Ivan (2004) could have fit in the *eye* of it.
The cost of hurricanes has increased in the past 5 years, averaging nearly 150 billion per year, up from 65 billion per year in the past 42 years. (Source: NOAA)

Tell me again how we can expect US military officers to refuse to carry out illegal orders by the President when it comes to nuclear weapons. B2 pilots just carried out an illegal military strike on Iran. We are not at war with Iran. And no Iranian attack on the US was imminent.
