Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I wonder if it would be useful to pressure Tom Emmer to weigh in whether he thinks it is okay for ICE to shoot Minnesotans.
If you're from his district it might be worth a call.

I know this isn’t mainstream America, but I see resilience and brilliance.
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. And we won’t be able to trust a bunch of our fellow citizens for a generation.
But we bounced back from the Civil War. We’ll figure this out, too.

I watched a news segment of J6ers “retracing their steps” and placing flowers “in honor of” Ashli Babbit at the Capitol. Reminded of how the Nazis mythologized the Beer Hall Putsch and turned the 16 people who died into martyrs who were ritually honored on the attempted coup’s anniversary each year

America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
