Single-issue voter: democracy. Big fan of glaciated landscapes.

He/him/fuckyounazi
But they are hoping corporate donors will.

Stop donating. NPR has chosen a side and it is not democracy. Their CEO told us this out loud.
NPR CEO: Don't spend too much time thinking about those "big ideas of democracy" like whether or not federal troops are invading your city and kidnapping people.

Watch the video again. NPR’s CEO says they talk “too much“ about “democracy.” They are doubling down on the failure that got them here. NPR is dead and it was a suicide.

Local stations will absolutely vanish if they continue to hitch their wagons to NPR, which has explicitly chosen to not talk “too much” about “democracy.

This is a video of NPR‘s CEO openly telling you they are going to abandon the core journalistic role of the fourth estate & betray its listeners.

They’re sucking up to corporate donors now.

They’re going for corporate donors, now. They’re pissing off their listeners and they don’t care — they’ve chosen a side and it’s not ours.
December 5, 2025 at 9:20 PM
They already got away with it once last year. Why not try it again this year?

“These people” = virtually every US citizen

It is an explicit, incontrovertible, constitutional right, not a “principle,“ NPR.

Apparently NPR thinks it’s going to overcome its federal funding gap by alienating its listeners and wooing corporate donors. Stop rewarding them by listening, folks. It’s cooked.

I mean, just look at this list.

I wasn’t suggesting state lines have changed, only that when they were drawn, it was done so for partisanpolitical advantage. There are two Dakotas, for example.

Republicans drew state lines to consolidate and entrench power against the south postbellum. Made sense then, but it’s killing us now.
December 5, 2025 at 7:44 PM
We know. Stop granting unanimous consent to let Republicans speed run their destruction.
December 5, 2025 at 7:36 PM
Yeah, but state lines have been gerrymandered by Republicans for over a century… I don‘t hate the idea of calling them Senate districts. 🙂

And yet you keep confirming more and more Trump judges, your own contribution to the cascading corruption of our judiciary.
