The evils of this regime know no bounds. Public media has served this country for decades with educational content, entertainment, and life saving alerts for the most vulnerable among us. Even with CPB shuttering, PBS and NPR will continue, but it will be up to ALL of us to help keep them going.

The Trump administration and MAGA conservatives in the states are on a linguistic tear. They're re-defining some words and banning others. This is a hallmark of authoritarianism (Also, always read @jessicavalenti.bsky.social, whose coverage of abortion rights in this era is unmatched).
If HB 4130 passes, politicians—not medical professionals—would dictate how pregnancy loss is recorded and how medical language is defined.
