Let's be clear: Public media is a public good. It keeps our communities informed about local news, helps educate our kids, and ensures the public receives life-saving emergency alerts. Cutting federal funding for these stations would deal a serious blow to communities across the country.

A few months ago I interviewed a therapist about forgiveness

She floored me when she told me not everyone deserves our forgiveness and, in fact, sometimes it’s healthier not to forgive

Sometimes empathy isn’t the answer

I’m pinning that advice to the front of my brain and I suggest you do too

Only some of us are awake enough to rebel, by the time the majority wake up we will already be at the point of no return.

I’m afraid we’ve turned a very dark corner in our walk towards fascist authoritarian rule. We are clearly unprepared to meet this moment. I hope I’m wrong.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Four years ago, I was trying out a weekly release of audiobook-style narration, using short pieces from the public domain. One of them, shockingly relevant then and scarily relevant now, was Ur Fascism, written by Umberto Ecco.

It is, sadly, time to repost it.
