Something that seems like it's gone under the radar is #PBS shutting down their #deia program and firing the program management. This is an infuriating and disappointing move by PBS to choose #compliance in advance rather than #defiance. Every inch we give to the #fascists is an inch we may never get back. Hold strong and #resist. The #resistance is having an effect, #muskrat and co are not invincible and your efforts matter.
Please call your local station and send a message to PBS headquarters. Tell them you are unhappy with their decision to support an illegal #coup of #hate, #violence, and #sciencedenial #sciencedenialism. Media needs to remain independent and unafraid of #fascism, something the big media #corporations have seemingly forgotten.

With public broadcasters pressured by the Trump administration, PBS shuts down its diversity office
During a time of pressure on public broadcasters, PBS says that it is shutting down its office of diversity, equity and inclusion and firing the two executives who staffed it. With the system getting federal grant money for its children's programming, PBS lawyers judged the move necessary to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on DEI efforts. But Paul Kerger, PBS CEO, said some of the system's 330 individual stations may have their own DEI officials and may make a different determination. PBS and NPR officials are expected to appear at a congressional hearing next month amid some calls that the federal government stop funding public broadcasting.
