This hurts. I can’t tell you impact NPR & PBS programming has had on my life.

🤬🤬🤬🤬 you!

Congressionally appropriated funds cannot be stopped by POTUS. He must take care the laws be faithfully executed, not stalled & withdrawn. youtu.be/PBoptjV1OpI

Someone rich should just pick this up and fund it. Keep it alive and well while we work on fighting these Nazis.

This is something akind to a line item veto which the courts in the past have ruled unconstitutional.

Trump's essence is to control the press, suppress speech, and execute dissenters. This is commonplace in Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, and Iran, and it has begun in the US. But that was obvious last November.

As is usual with Trump's EOs, he doesn't have the legal authority to cut off funding.

The beginning of the end for Freedom of Speech

Fascist playbook.

So what would the Corporation for Public Broadcasting fund? Trump really hates fact-based news and children.

That looks like PURE FASCISM to end all of the oppositions and critics to the government WHICH ARE VITAL TO PREVENT CORRUPTION AND FRAUDS MADE VIA "A B U S I N G" GOVERNMENTAL POWER AND ABILITIES! IT IS CERTAINLY UNACCEPTABLE!!

BadmandoesWhat?

Well said.👏

Holy crap, I'm Canadian and donate to PBS.. what's this guys fucking problem??

he can go fuck off.

Don't understand how this is a good thing. Sounds like he just ended funding for something that's been out for twice as long as his age because he's fucking stupid.

Shame. Those are the only way people learn how to be decent

donnie “two dolls” douche bag trump. Making America Gross Again and Again and Again and Again MAGAAAA 🤦‍♀️

I'll be paying for the PBS app. I will not miss out on my favorite masterpiece shows.

Ok skippy see ya in court! Because @Fox isn’t biased 😂

Look at those fuckwads clapping with glee.

I agree, they are biased... toward truth in journalism, which does not favor Trump or the GOP.

See you in court, dipshit. Again.

First Amendment? And of course separation of powers-again.

The dictators' dream is to control information, especially since this one is constantly lying. He is advancing in his takeover.

Fred Rogers is rolling over in his grave!

And democracy continues to die to thunderous applause. That Padme girl was right after all.

Do it!!!!

With nothing other than personal vengeance to back his claim, he’s decided to cut off the most unbiased forum for news, arts and documentaries that we have. Not only is Reagan rolling in his grave but so is Mr. Rogers.

Defund the PRESIDENT....

Trump & Republicans get their information from FOX News yet want to cancel Public Broadcasting because it is too biased. Good grief.

Bias is silencing perceived contrary opinion. Silencing perceived contrary opinion is un-Constitutional, regardless of pathetic arguments about taxpayer dollars. Dead-end Donny's action is censorship, an expectation for all fascist regimes. And there are still millions of followers for this madman.

Oh, of Americans knew how to protest like the French do...

Suppressing the media, ignoring the courts, deportation without trial, threatening political adversaries. As one person ignores elected representatives, issuing dictates and orders to security services and armed forces. America following Russias example on how to control a country.

We aren’t allowed to have access to nice things under MAGAt rule. Yet, the 🍊💩 can hold court in the WH & MAL & take bribes for tariff reprieves & other favors. Then there’s the crypto currency fraud & family business building properties overseas. Corruption is rampant. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Cos they hate everyone, is my guess.

Even after they knelt before him and dismantling DEI, he still defunded them. They should have kept their dignity and fought back.

He hates everyone and everything that he does not understand.

Let the regime roll in…

Your tax dollars are going towards that MASSIVE tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and corporations, that’s what. All this mayhem is for that, and that alone.

A special kind of stupid would defund Sesame Street.

The war on Sesame Street

One more attack on free speech and reliable information.

Shame! Hungry pigs,destroying everything good for common people!

Shameful dicktator

2A Today.

No, send him to that Salvadoran prison. ASAP

Every EO signed by trump has a footnote EO ordering the cutting off of Congress' balls.

Ofcourse!! He can’t have any press actually telling the truth! Come on now!

Fuck off asshole. Keep watching your propaganda network

Je kon er op wachten. Na wetenschap en onderwijs is nu de publieke omroep in de VS aan de beurt.

It is important that we stand up for these two public broadcasting stations. Trump can’t get away with shutting down Sesame Street and other very positive programming. It really is time we start striking.

Why are any of those people happy about that? How could anybody be happy about that?

Classic Fascist censorship 🥴

What a massive arsehole.

A new and novel way to suppress knowledge. Bye bye Sesame St.

In the language of Republicans, the truth/woke is "biased reporting", yet chronic lying is accepted as the truth. Then you understand that the dire existential threats to America, democracy and any civilized society is Trump/Republican Party. Truth is evil thus defund the truth!

Pathetic.

now that's what a dictator behaves like...

I guess Republicans think it’s cool we don’t have a congress anymore.

His pants are smelling....fear in front of facts and truth And : he's so absolute stupid to show this with a executive order !

Trump cancels Sesame Street.

"May you live in interesting times" is meant as a curse, not as a blessing.

Disgusting

Trump is breaking the law by signing so many executive orders! But then again, we know Trump loves to break the law

Big whoop. The government contributes very little to their funding. It's already supported mostly by donations, more will come. And they can sharpen their pens a bit.

Boo F*cking Hoo They did it to themselves, kissing Trump's a*s every step of the way for decades bsky.app/profile/rpsa...

The trend continues.Controlling the narrative is one of the most important steps for an authoritarian regime.Don’t let them fool you. This is not about saving money or anything else. It is about control and making us more ignorant. Less informed about who we are, our surroundings, what we care about
