Public media is under threat. I couldn’t have made the ASIAN AMERICANS series without funding from @caam through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Call your Senator today to vote NO on the CPB rescissions bill and save Asian American stories. tinyurl.com/CAAM-PublicM...

Will federal funding cuts spell the end for history documentaries?

The NEH is among the most reliable sources of funding for history documentaries. DOGE-led grant terminations have filmmakers “living in a moment of crisis.”

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides

Goran
World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.
