From the linked article: Thomas Jefferson, no fan of the press himself, once wrote that our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, "and that cannot be limited without being lost." He knew a free and fair press is an essential safeguard to a functioning democracy.
I've often disagreed with NPR's policy of bowing to the fascists demands, and toeing the line of right-wing propaganda, but this piece is worth reading.

If you can, budget a monthly donation and #FundNPR
Very much worth reading and following the recommendations.
And, if you can, budget a monthly donation.

Also, I know the country NEEDS PBS and NPR, but boy, are the fuckers in there making it hard to ask people to #FundPBS or #FundNPR when they pull this cowardly bullshit.
If you click through, they have a tool to help you find struggling public media in your state; if you have a few bucks to spare, you can donate to a public media station (click through). 👇🏽

LRT: this is why I have started posting about PBS. Yeah, it would be better if our taxes were used to fund public goods rather than gilded toilets for the toxic bag of shit in the White House, but until we can rebuild democracy, we can do this for ourselves and our neighbors.

NPR used to cost each taxpayer $1.60 per year. You read it right ... $1.60 per YEAR. It was a big, beautiful deal. If you love OPB, become a sustaining member. Money well spent. #fundopb #fundnpr www.opb.org/give/federal...

This is yet another reason why PBS is awesome. I had a question about teachers in the 1800s; this answered it, and more. #Education #TeachingInAmerica

Birthright citizenship. Universal court injunctions. The power of executive orders. These are the constitutional issues the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing today, and #NPR is providing live coverage. This is why I listen to NPR.

NPR is the first place I turn to understand how people around the country are making sense of the latest news. It is a priceless resource we need to protect so that we can imagine and construct a society that works for the most people as our world changes (AI, climate, politics). #fundnpr

Yet another way they're trying to kill us.

Background is an array of American flags in a bright, well vegetated neighborhood. Text reads: I'm not paying Netflix or Disney+ $15/month to cancel my favorite shows—but I will give PBS and NPR $10/month to keep free, quality educational content and news alive. Who’s with me?

Exactly. Christian schools are not a public good. They are an ideological apparatus of the patriarchal myth making machine. PBS/NPR storytellers rely on facts, fearless reporting, journalistic integrity, and engaging public programming. #PBS #NPR #culturaltreasure #FundNPR #FundPBS
Dramatisation and not obsessed with making the news entertaining. Please #SaveNPR #FundNPR this is as an important of resource as the BBC World Service and America doesn’t recognise what an asset NPR is.
