The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.
Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

“Political favoritism was creeping into MRAK’s reporting and causing concern among our readers, period,” says Jon Faulkner. This is the biggest shock since Capt. Renault discovered gambling at Rick’s place in Casablanca.

This is such a good overview of (a) how to use Bluesky features specifically and (b) how to use Bluesky in a way that's good for you. I love the less-toxic vibe here – it reminds me a bit of Twitter circa 2008 when it was mostly cool nerds making friends about stuff.

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States.

Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?

As facts emerge about the background and persuasions of Charlie Kirk’s killer, we should be reminded that responsible people wait for facts to emerge…not instantly attempt to incite violence against “the radical left.”
