the more i learn about #Ireland, the more i hate #England, #GreatBritain and the #UnitedKingdom; especially the monarchy.
this documentary on 17th century Irish #slavery needs to be used as a blueprint for what Spain & Portugal did to Muslim and Jewish Iberians. the pogroms, kidnapping and enslavement literally happened until the break of the Spanish-American War.
yes, 1898.
so much #history about internal European colonialism is suppressed, it’s maddening.
Heads up, the recent banned books documentary "The Librarians" is streaming free on the PBS youtube channel.

A travesty:🚨"The Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board has voted to dissolve the organization.
CPB board members said the combination of🚨Trump/GOPers stripping its federal funding + sustained political attacks “made it impossible” for it to continue operating."
Let's work to reestablish #PBS as soon as we take back the House. Support💙Dems!

This and also, delete your #Amazon account.
Why in the ever-living-fuck is anyone still giving money to any #US #bigtech #fascist boot-licker unless there is no other choice for something that is essential? Don't feed the fascist machine.
Rather than talk about the latest corporate streaming tv show you enjoyed, share about your boycott of those companies. Give your money to #PBS instead. Use your library.
Amidst the horror of the killing of Renee Good, I take solace in seeing how technology has outperformed propaganda:
I have seen more lies about the killing than I can count, but it is 2026, and I have also seen around 6 different video recordings of the incident from all possible angles WITH clear audio.
Gone are the days, when propagandists could freely shape the narrative. JD Vance and Trump can still lie, but we can see the incident they are lying about, from 6 different angles WITH audio.
@randahl Brooks and Capehart discussed this yesterday:
"And I watched it play out in real time this week, because every single Trump person on my feed, my social media feeds was saying, this proves he shot her with just cause.
And every single anti-Trump person on my feed said it was murder. I did not see one exception. And so I think what this tells us is the norm, which is essential to democracy, of putting the truth above your party and your team, that norm is eviscerated, at least on social media, hopefully not in real life."
The polarization will reach its crescendo.

Corporation for #PublicBroadcasting, a private agency that has steered federal #funding to #PBS, #NPR & hundreds of #public #television & #radio stations across the country, voted Monday to dissolve the organization that was created in 1967.
#CPB had been winding down since #Congress acted last summer to defund its operations under orders from #Trump. Its board of directors chose to shutter CPB completely instead of keeping it as a shell.

I am literally in tears right now. I weep for the country we could have been.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board of directors voted to dissolve the organization, officials announced Monday night, ending the 58-year-old agency that distributed federal funds to #NPR, #PBS and more than 1,500 local public radio and television stations.
This formalizes the shutdown after Republicans in Congress rescinded $1.1 billion in funding because of Trump’s tantrum demand.
Created by Congress through the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, #CPB served as a middleman between taxpayers and public media, distributing most of its appropriations directly to local stations. The funding was particularly crucial for small and rural stations, especially those in areas where internet isn’t. Most of them will be forced to close.
Tax the #EpsteinClass, or eat them, one of the two.

I just learned that Stewart Cheifet passed away only a few days ago on December 28th, 2025. For those unfamiliar with him, he was the creator and host of The Computer Chronicles in the 80s and 90s and over 400 episodes.
It’s fascinating to go back and watch old episodes. This isn’t just a time capsule of retro-computing, they actually aired informative, highly technical, computer-oriented television on PBS like this episode from 1985 on UNIX.

The U.S. Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a nonprofit that helped fund NPR, PBS and local radio and TV stations, is officially shutting down due to spending cuts authorized by President Donald Trump last summer. The board of directors voted to dissolve the organization after 58 years of service after it was stripped of more than $1 billion in funding. Here's more from NBC.
