Like all authoritarians, Trump doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants flattery. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS.

We need media in this country that is not owned by billionaires and corporate interests.

I will vote to support public broadcasting.

Wow, she really is living rent-free in his head. 🤣🤣 Very presidential use of time and energy, btw. 🙄

This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

Harm reduction strategies need higher implementation rates! Stigma surrounding these services needs to be addressed and reduced. So many more people could be helped, not just by syringe services, but supervised injection sites as well.
