As of October 1, THIRTEEN is no longer funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Since 1967, the CPB has supported all of your favorite documentaries, children's programming, trusted news, and more. Thank you to the CPB for almost 60 years of partnership and support. You will be missed.

NEW WHITEBOARD
While the GOP is trying to gaslight the nation on its new round of gerrymandering, the truth is it’s an assault on democracy that mirrors “The Big Lie” effort after November 2020. And should be treated as such.

A forum on voter threats to fair elections, held Wednesday by Senate Democrats and headlined by Eric Holder and North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs warned about a coordinated attack on American democracy, while insisting that it hasn’t succeeded yet, and that elections still matter.

I feel like Lady Liberty, covering my face in shame.
In Roubaix, France, a powerful mural now shows her doing just that—mourning what we’ve become.
Freedom. Hope. Dignity. The right to be yourself.
Gifts we once cherished, now slipping away.
On this July 4th, I’m not celebrating. I’m protesting.

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding.
They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR.
Let me be real clear:
What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Congress is considering clawing back approved public media funding – ripping vital services from our communities through the rescissions package submitted yesterday by the White House. Call and/or email Congress now, especially if you have Republican Representatives or Senators. bit.ly/3T68Qgw

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
