Another Project 2025 promise kept by Donald Trump.
Cutting funding for public broadcasting and children’s programming all so his administration can’t be held accountable without paywalls or subscriptions to hide behind.

Trump signs order to ax federal funding for NPR and PBS
His order calls the 2 biggest U.S. public broadcasters that have decades enjoyed bipartisan congressional support "biased."

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Wondering if the shooting at Florida State University is going to be THE REASON Trump will declare Marshall Law. We know it is coming but what event will be his rationale. He is a depraved man with a sick agenda. RESIST

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Another attack on American Democracy. Stop the madness.
"In November, incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs narrowly defeated Republican Jefferson Griffin, a win that held up after two recounts. But Griffin has been seeking to have around 60,000 votes thrown out because of incomplete voter registrations."
The Democratic Justice Who Paved the Way for Jefferson Griffin in North Carolina
Opinion | Nearly three million voters chose to keep Justice Riggs in power. They rejected Griffin’s partisan Republican campaign.

Looking for something for my signs for a local protest tomorrow. I hate Trump but that is not sign worthy. I think we have all been sitting around with our thumb up our butt while the NAR has been organizing this coup for 15 years. But that is too long for a sign. Musk is a Nazi is too obvious.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.
