The tragedy of innocent deaths in the #Israel #Hamas war and the disproportionate misery wreaked upon the #Palestinian people is heartbreaking. That the U.S. votoed a resolution for a truce makes them utterly complicit. I was also totally disappointed that #PBS broadcast U.S. soldiers in uniform performing #hanukkah songs. By all means, broadcast civilian Hanukkah performances. It is not lost on me that Hanukkah celebrates a military victory, but for the many who celebrate Haukkah in the context of peace, the tragedy of these times is intensified by the thoughtlessnees of that choice.
This report does not include "the sound of children screaming" but does include #911 calls from students and teachers.
It's a tough report to get through, but it's important that we bear witness and use this knowledge to insist on fundamental changes in policy and #policing that make these everyday occurrences, rare.
For decades, every #LawEnforcement and #military #tv show and #movie I've seen has them first checking every space ("clear!"), then specifying an officer in charge and setting up a command post.
#Uvalde was a total failure in every way by literally every officer on the scene.
It was 20 minutes before they accidentally discovered classrooms were full (and could've been hiding other shooters)

I wrote for @BylinesScotland about why the @ScottishGreens have voted for a policy of banning behaviour modification practices like ABA and PBS - 'Positive Behaviour Support', usually a repackaging of ABA.
Applied Behaviour Analysis is sometimes described as 'conversion therapy for autistic people'. It shares its philosophy, much of its history and many practices in common with conversion therapy for gay and gender nonconforming people.

If you need a dose of hope this show centered on Copland and teaching the next generation is a good antidote.

I hope that everyone who works for, listens to, and/or contributes to #NPR, #PBS, and other public media organizations are doing everything they can to avoid giving air to #OrangeHitler and doing everything that they can to promote community and decency. If you don’t understand why, ask school teachers, college professors, and librarians in #FascistFlorida or health care providers in #Texas.

From 1924 to around 1980, J.L. Hudson's paid for Detroit's Thanksgiving parade.
Hudson's asked other organizations to join as sponsors to help pay for the parade.
Eventually, a nonprofit organization took on the planning and budgeting of the parade.
The first Thanksgiving parade in Detroit was in 1925.
It was originally called The Children's Parade. Around 125,000 people came to see the first parade.
Ahhh, the memories of checking out the holiday display windows when I was a young child.

@bghote The new cost-cutting #WarnerBrosDiscovery regime that rebranded #Max also unceremoniously canceled new original development in many countries; quietly removed multiple original movies, series, and dozens of catalog episodes without notice (including 200 of the long-running childrens’ show #SesameStreet that originally aired on #PBS—your tax dollars gone); and canceled several nearly-complete movies.
They are no longer a good steward for anything, especially #DoctorWho.

"On Nov. 2, the #PBS #NewsHour’s foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin reported on what he called '#Hamas propaganda videos.' Fair enough. Except that it would be virtually impossible for mainstream US news media to also matter-of-factly refer to public output from the #Israeli government as '#propaganda.'”

The prices of #streaming services keep going up! Or you are being asked to endure advertisements where previously there were none.
The best deal in streaming IMO is #PBS Passport. For $5/mo you get access to their great program library.
You can live stream your local PBS station, though that's free in their app.
With garbage TV getting more expensive, why not elevate yourself with PBS.

@gbhnews Is there any network-wide movement for #PBS? I assume you’re all independent but wondering if there is any urgency among other affiliates to setup a presence on the #fediverse.
RANDOM REMINDER
there was a time #PBS & #NPR had a good portion of their budgets come from sundry federal, state and local government arts & culture grants. WNYC is an example of that kind of PBS.
that's why fascist Republicans have destroyed publicly funded A&C grant making. they have always treated PBS & NPR as what they are: para-governmental media outlets.
just because Voice Of America exists, doesn't mean USGov doesn't have state media.
fascists want it privatized. like FoxNews.

#BBC is a para-governmental organization. they are going to be horrible one way or another; but they are the main communications platform for the UK.
are y'all gonna block #NPR or #PBS as they are para-governmental media for the US? how about Voice Of America #VOA, USGov's #1 international propaganda network? aren't they on #Mastodon?
