Today, in an atrium packed with angry supporters of Arkansas PBS, the Arkansas TV Commission walked back their decision to cut ties with national PBS at the end of this fiscal year. Past article for reference: arkansasadvocate.com/2025/12/11/a...
Arkansas TV, formerly Arkansas PBS, plans to disaffiliate from federal agency after funding cuts | Arkansas Advocate
The network lost $2.5 million in programming and operational funds after the Corporation for Public Broadcasting lost federal funding this summer.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after protest at Minnesota church service
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Friday post on X that Lemon was arrested alongside three others "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.
Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
Mr. Rogers would definitely be on the side of the people. His legacy lives on in people like her and Alex and Renee and George and Philando and every other victim of state violence whose name we know and whose names we may never know.

Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
The only fucking people who shoot people and run away are goddamn criminals! Thanks ICE for making my real law abiding job harder. FUCK!!!!
An Irish man responsible for leaking the identities of thousands of US immigration enforcement officers has said he will continue his work until the Trump administration stops targeting immigrant communities.

Today CBP officers executed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37 year old nurse who worked at the VA. He was an observer, he was restrained and he was on the ground.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoThe Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
Another person was murdered today in broad daylight. How many others will we see die in real time? How many will we never know about? Simply put: Fuck ICE. #abolishice #altgov
The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration…

Arkansas PBS (now Arkansas TV) is now the first station to disaffiliate from national PBS. In a red state governed by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, this long-time GOP target has finally been struck. However, the official claims of why they are disaffiliating are full of holes. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
Mysterious letter to viewers like you pokes holes in reasoning to ditch Arkansas PBS - Arkansas Times
There's plenty of money to keep PBS on air in Arkansas. The decision to pull the plug is a culture war salvo, not a budgetary necessity, according to a mystery whistleblower.

This is a terrifying blow to democracy. Without impartial news, every American loses. This administration’s tendrils have far-reaching consequences for our future and present.
Paul Rieckhoff@rieckhoff.bsky.social · 8mo agoThis is a tremendous loss for our country and for our democracy. There is no finer news program than @pbsnews.org NewsHour. It’s like the healthy vegetables of news media. And it’s another nutritious item in our national diet that they have now bluntly eliminated.
85 days ago, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee declined to give Donald Trump the award.

ICE is really doing great, ya know? Look at their vehicles with full tanks of fuel while most motor pools are rationing what's left. Look at those ICE planes soaring away while reg travel is cut more & more. Look at those chubby meal team members yanking up kids while SNAP is stolen away. Yay ICE 🎉
And for more intel, national @pbs.org is not lowering their membership fees for ANY member stations, so there is complete fault on both sides of this. Even smaller stations that are in blue states are suffering due to federal funding cuts AND the actions of national PBS. Holding them accountable for
This is the next blow that red states are taking to follow along with the MAGA plan of attack. By disaffiliating as a member station, APT will not show any national PBS programming and will ultimately control every aspect of that station. What does this mean? wbhm.org/2025/no-more...
No more Elmo? APT could cut ties with PBS
The board that oversees Alabama Public Television is considering disaffiliating from PBS, ending a 55-year relationship.
