#Trump is demanding to attach conditions to congressionally approved grants for #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty before releasing the money, despite a court order blocking it from terminating the funds. Acc/to court filings, Trump wants to be able to unilaterally pause funds for the federally funded broadcaster & shut down parts of its programming, among other moves that lawyers for #RFE say are forbidden by #Congress to ensure journalistic integrity.

📰 "PRAGA - Szef Radia Wolna Europa/Radia Liberty powiedział 3 kwietnia, że rząd USA wyłączył satelitę, który transmitował jego rosyjskojęzyczny program do Rosji.

Stacja z siedzibą w Pradze, założona przez Stany Zjednoczone podczas zimnej wojny w celu przeciwdziałania sowieckiej propagandzie, została zamrożona przez prezydenta USA Donalda Trumpa w związku z dążeniem do zmniejszenia wielkości rządu federalnego.

RFE/RL wygrała w sądzie tymczasowy zakaz zbliżania się, ale Amerykańska Agencja ds. Mediów Globalnych, amerykańska agencja rządowa, która nadzoruje jej działalność, nie odblokowała jeszcze finansowania.

"Przyszliśmy dziś do pracy i zobaczyliśmy, że usługi satelitarne, które docierają do Rosji, zostały wyłączone przez USAGM" - powiedział AFP dyrektor generalny RFE/RL Stephen Capus.

Decyzja ma wpływ na 24-godzinne rosyjskojęzyczne transmisje "Current Time" do Rosji, Ukrainy, Azji Środkowej, Europy Wschodniej i innych regionów."

Radio Free Europe was for decades symbol of fight against totalitarian regimes in Easter Europe and later also in other parts of the world.

(For brief time I worked for Radio Farda and helped with broadcasting free and balanced news to Iran. Good times.)

Since fascist US governement wants to end this organisation, it should be up to EU to take the lead and start with something like Radio Free America - to repay the debt of cold war.

"In violation of the law and the #Constitution, the #tRump administration purports to have closed Radio Free/Radio Liberty, a medium which is the source of much of what we known about #Russia and the post-communist world."

I wonder why these Twitter reposting accounts don't do double opt-in like fed.brid.gy/ does for Blue$ky and actually make it useful to NOT have a Twitter account same as there isn't a need now for a B.$. account. 🤔

I wonder when they will do a #TikTok & #RedNote bridge accounts' for #DoubleOptIn setting the standards for #ActivityPub bridge to #anythingsocialnetwork. 🤔
