Imagine it's Germany in 1933 and you're told the SS is about to get tens of billions of dollars to terrorize as many "undesirables" as possible. What would you do with the few months you have to prepare?

If, like me, you’re already signed up for the minimum contribution, now is a great time to increase your donation if you can afford to.

Tripling a monthly payment sounds like a big ask, but for me it means paying $15/month, and in return you get a streaming service better and cheaper than Netflix.
Also, sign up for PBS Passport! You pay what you want, money goes to your local station, and you get access to tons more great programming on-demand. help.pbs.org/support/solu...
