Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

If a bully is paying you and helping you win elections, then of course you will side with the bully and blame the victim for defending themselves.

The government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industry
