Judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS

A federal judge has agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The two are media entities that the White House has said are counterproductive to American priorities. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss cited the First Amendment in his decision. The impact was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.

I just finished watching the new Masterpiece version of The Count Of Monte Cristo and I feel hollowed out. That's another way of saying, the acting was spectacular. I was stunned. At the end I thought, "that's it?" But it ended perfectly. It ended as it should. #Masterpiece #PBS #PublicBroadcasting #DonateNow

Swiss reject cuts to public broadcasting

A campaign to lower compulsory fees that fund public broadcasters failed in a referendum vote. Proponents called for more privatization, while victorious opponents said public media underpins democracy.

I mean, if someone wants to setup like a #nonprofit / #cooperative for such a #radio station, let me know...

  • Cuz I'm shure something like that really could be interesting. ..Espechally with people fleeing the fascist Trump regime wanting to share their stories and also to cather to a more global audience.

I really don't like the fact that besides #PublicBroadcasting there's at best 1 private #USW - #FM radio per city/county and rarely do anything but syncro-transmit the same music on 45 transmitters in #NRW...

And that is really saddening...

#RedLake Passes Resolution Prohibiting #ICE From Entering Without Court Order

Jan 27, 2026 | By: Lakeland News

"The Red Lake Tribal Council has passed a resolution prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from entering the Red Lake Nation unless they have a specific court order signed by a judge with jurisdiction to sign such an order.

"The resolution, which passed on a 10-0 vote, says the Tribal Council has been watching ICE actions in Minnesota and is 'ashamed and disgusted at the obvious violations of constitutional rights directed at United States citizens by ICE officers.'

"They add that, with Tribal Council members being made aware of a Leech Lake band member being apprehended in the Walker area, they suspect that it is just a matter of time before ICE officers attempt to enter the Red Lake Nation.

"The resolution says no ICE officer or federal officer may be present on the Red Lake Nation without the presence of a Red Lake officer, and that the federal officers may only be present for as long as it takes to serve the order. In addition, it says no ICE officer or federal officer in the service of ICE shall be permitted to engage in a fishing expedition in search of any person, and that such officers are prohibited from approaching any individual, home, or vehicle outside the presence of a Red Lake officer."

Public Media Holds Its Apocalypse at Bay, for Now

Though Congress cut $500 million from NPR and PBS stations, vanishingly few have closed their doors. Angst about their long-term future remains.
