Public broadcasters like PBS, NPR aid democracy | Rick Steves Op-Ed As our president aims to defund PBS and NPR, I’m reminded why, for more than 30 years, I’ve shared thoughtful programming with public broadcasters.

As Trump sets his sights on defunding @pbs.org and @npr.org, @ricksteves.bsky.social reminds us just how important public broadcasting is to all of us. Read:

250 years ago, Americans made it clear that we weren’t going to be ruled by kings.

In 18 days, we’re taking to the streets again to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. We hope to see you on June 14 for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Economist cover: RUINATION DAY

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?

It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.

Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.

But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.

Let your reps hear from you.

That's just wrong. Anyone with a brain and a heart reacted in the affirmative to Mr. Roger's testimony.

Libraries have a beloved and rightful place in the heart of communities across the U.S. Please continue to support them and fight for their renewed funding. This is unnecessary and cruel. #librariesareforeveryone #informedcitizenry #ala #welovelibraries

Apparently Pete Hegseth's team has told the Naval Academy Library that a biography of Martin Luther King Jr. is DEI and must be removed from the shelves? And definitely don't want them reading Albert Einstein...

There is no bottom to these people

Had a great time in NYC the past couple of days and got a chance to see Sarah Snook in #thepictureofdoriangray on Broadway! Loved it so much. Here she is at curtain call (3 standing ovations). Absolutely stunning performance and show.
