Congress voted to cut all federal funds for public media. For WBUR, it means we'll lose at least $1.6 million annually. Yet the news won't stop, and neither will we. Our commitment to thoughtful, fair and trustworthy coverage is undiminished. But we need your help.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

During a phone hearing on Friday, Judge Michael Farbiarz of the U.S. District Court for New Jersey said that the government's attempt to continue to detain Khalil was "highly, highly, highly unusual."

Remember that authoritarians are always trying to create crises or take advantage of existing crises as a "state of exception," which gives them more power and abrogates any established restraints.

I don’t mean to be sarcastic about this but every columnist, political scientist, and law professor who ever bought into these people being federalists should be spaced

the plan to make america great again is to make us an impoverished garrison state dominated by trump and his oligarch buddies

Breaking news: A group of nearly 50 White South Africans landed as refugees Monday, coming to the U.S. under a humanitarian designation meant for people fleeing war or persecution that the Trump administration has suspended for all other groups worldwide.

in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything

Is there any hope that with Trump adopting generative AI as a cause, education will get a clue about how detrimental it is?

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.
