John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work.

Authoritarian governments are not new to this country. If you want to know what comes next should resistance fail, look to the history of Black resistance in the South.

Going into this holiday season with a shutdown throwing a massive monkeywrench in air travel, I think it is important to remember that Biden and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social put regulations on airlines to make it easier to get recompensed for a delayed or canceled flight. Trump took those away.

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Trump’s FCC chair earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they didn’t take action against him.
