The White House called for an end to federal funding for NPR and PBS in April, claiming that they "spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'" Trump also fired the CPB's three Democratic board members, who refused to leave their posts. Trump sued them this week in an attempt to force them out.

Translation: they don't regurgitate right wing talking points.

These people are disgusting.

They also educate and inform people. That's a problem for the GOP. They don't want the American people, ESPECIALLY low income people, to have access to free education and information that PBS and NPR provides. They need to ensure the population is stupid thus easier to control.

So America they've taken your medicade, they've taken the ability of a good portion of your country to be able to eat, they're taking immigrants, tourists, or people that they don't agree with to camps, they're taking your education, they're taxing you with tariffs, they have a gestapo, and they'll be taking away more rights from Women and POC. I have to ask...how much longer until you start to get a little bit violent?

Eh. They are increasingly polluted by their private sponsors and corporate partners. I've given up on listening to NPR in the mornings because so much of it is very obviously native advertisement or propaganda (particularly bad in the immediate aftermath of Oct 7th, with broadcasters uncritically repeating IDF hoaxes like the "40 decapitated babies" line).

I got a "Blue Alert" on my phone not two days ago, thanks to a vigilante attacking an ICE agent. Dozens of armed cops were all over the Mayor's Office yesterday because of a rumor of a Palestinian protest that never materialized. FFS, three different people tried to shoot the President in a two month span.

I don't think the problem is a lack of violence. What Americans largely lack is coordination and institutional support. A thousand little lone wolves don't a revolution make.
