Musk and Thiel are the loud ideologues, but Bezos and Zuckerberg are the indispensable enablers.
They are the infrastructure of the new fascism.
Whether through cowardice or greed, they have done almost as much to dismantle democracy.
Stop giving them a pass

NEW: Trump's coup is almost complete. And the attack on the press is a central piece of it. Bezos's gutting of the Washington Post cannot be allowed to be just another blip in the news cycle.
We are all going to have to fight for a free and independent press.

A lot of terrible people who helped re-elect Trump will jump off the ship. They will be embraced by Democrats and corporate media.
Make them earn it. Make them show their homework.
