They don’t want PBS because they don’t want history or empathy
The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

U.S. Professor KIDNAPPED and DISAPPEARED by ICE!
He still remains detained.
Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid.
This is NOT normal.

This is outrageous and criminal. If I were Rosie O’Donnell I would lodge a complaint with the attorney general and demand he be prosecuted for felony harassment.
If you went into a coma 10 years ago & came out of it this morning, there is no way anyone could convince you this is a real post by someone serving as POTUS.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.

The government just cut a key hurricane satellite during storm season. They call it “routine.”
It’s not. It’s sabotage by budget. Less data means worse forecasts. More lives at risk.
They want us in a constant state of panic and fear, confusion and anger. People are easier to rule that way.
