    We’re no longer a nation of laws. An act of congress is legally supposed to take an act of congress to undo.

    The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created by Congress in 1967 to oversee the federal government’s contributions to public media.

    ;( so no more PBS Spacetime, Eons, etc. on Youtube?

    I hope the vengeful ghosts of Fred Rogers, Bob Ross and Mr. Hooper drive everyone in the GOP insane.

    Wow. Incredible. There goes one of the mainstays of my entire life.

    I guess we need to give more tax breaks to the 1%, though.

    Dude wtf. The only thing I can think of is the possibility that after this is over it could possibly come back. I’m trying to be civil here but I’m getting real tired of nazis ruining everything. It’s been only slightly over half a year. Can you believe it?

    Edit: Would it be possible to download and re-upload all of PBS’s content? There has to be a way to keep it in the public eye

    Funny how one of the billionaires could probably fund it indefinitely without batting an eye, but instead: crickets.

    They’re going to give back any day now! Aaaany day now … because of all the tax breaks they got, right? Aaaaaaany day now …
