The Trump administration has moved forward with its plan to gut funding for NPR and PBS, calling the outlets "radical, woke propaganda disguised as news." Our colleagues at @revealnews.org sat down with NPR's @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social to talk about the administration's attacks on journalism.

Tonight's bounty. Also, keep making calls.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,

Bedside reading

I went from 7 footnotes to none, cut 3 paras, removed a poem, and made it choppy like a bad haircut. Enjoy the reading list. #NothingIsTooBanal #quickreads #photography #politics #contemporaryart #autotheory

Due to freezing temps and tiny apertures, The Resistance stayed inside making still life’s of books and flowers. Reading and re-reading my way through the next 4 years. #bellhooks #feministtheory #pinholephotography

Woohoo and thank you @sharonlouden.bsky.social 🎉🤩 Looking forward to this!

I’ve been making silver gelatin pinhole prints & homemade cameras this year. I didn’t see that in my future, but I love the process & in a weird way it satisfies the urge to paint & it's a bit like documentary filmmaking. Recent prints, available at Stove Works 12/6/24 at their Red Dot exhibit.
