President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.
Public media is under threat. Our mission is more important than ever: to keep people informed, tell the truth, build bridges and hold the powerful to account. Donate now.

Donald Trump will never take kindly to anything contrary to the crap that lives in his head. ANYONE who apposes him will "Be fired". South African Ambassador Ibrahim Rasool took him on in his own backyard. NOONE does that to Trump. Rasool called him out on his BS and paid the price. Well done

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

No, of "Afrikaners". Ironically, "Afrikaner" is a racial category (or at the very least a racialised cultural identity) as it is almost exclusively used and understood (also by Afriforum) to refer to selected WHITE people who speak Afrikaans. Does this make the executive order a "race law"?
