The Trump administration has moved forward with its plan to gut funding for NPR and PBS, calling the outlets "radical, woke propaganda disguised as news."
Our colleagues at @revealnews.org sat down with NPR's @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social to talk about the administration's attacks on journalism.

Trump's "pincer attack" on journalism is working. But there's hope.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik on the challenges journalists face in covering the White House and his own employer being in Trump’s crosshairs.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.
They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Bedside reading
Bizarrely, the artist’s own estate is erasing the story behind it and suggesting it’s open to interpretation, which makes no sense unless they think disconnecting the work from the AIDS crisis and the artist’s queerness makes it more salable & they DNGAF about artist’s intent. In which case, F them
