The Trump administration has moved forward with its plan to gut funding for NPR and PBS, calling the outlets "radical, woke propaganda disguised as news."
Our colleagues at @revealnews.org sat down with NPR's @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social to talk about the administration's attacks on journalism.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.
They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

1) An overhead photograph of a wood table top covered with assorted objects. Central to the image are 10-15 black and white photographs. In the upper portion of the image is a book, with the title "On Tyranny" on the cover. In the bottom right is another book, slightly cropped. The title is cropped but the letters,"alism" and "Kornbluh" are in frame.
2) Three rows of several small black and white photographs hung by binder clips on a wall. The top row contains one larger black and white photograph The photographs are of trees and landscapes and unusual tableaus.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites.
This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences.

I went from 7 footnotes to none, cut 3 paras, removed a poem, and made it choppy like a bad haircut. Enjoy the reading list. #NothingIsTooBanal #quickreads #photography #politics #contemporaryart #autotheory
