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

;( 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.

Can the USA get even more damaged?

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.
