For the Love of Lilith Fair
Is it possible to be nostalgic for a concert you didn't attend?

Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud
The move, attributed to the loss of federal funding for public media, marks the layoffs of 17 staffers and the creation of three new positions.

A broader lesson here: Public criticism will have a crucial role to play in restraining the Trump regime and pushing back against encroaching authoritarianism.
Not a panacea, obviously. But it can strengthen the resolve of some - and rightfully shame others out of their preemptive obedience.

Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.
