I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat.

Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

I’m going to keep repeating this every chance I get: Trump’s authoritarian overreach should not be framed as a crime crackdown.

Every area he targets is seeing declines in crime while he ignores red states with the highest homicide rates.

No serious person is buying this.
This isn’t about crime.

13 of the 20 U.S. cities with the highest murder rates are in red states—Trump never names them.

Instead, he targets blue cities in blue states with Black mayors & declining crime.

Trump is fabricating crises to grab power & mask his political weakness.

If you watch one thing today, make it this. These workers are risking their lives to build our cities and getting paid like their time, safety, and dignity don’t matter. They deserve fair pay. They deserve respect.
He builds our city but the companies he works for treat him like he’s disposable. 80-hour weeks. Paychecks worth what 20 hours should earn. No sick leave. No safety. No dignity.
This isn’t the “American dream.” It’s wage theft in plain sight. Watch. Share. Demand change.

These servicemembers put their lives on the line for this country. It is disgraceful and wrong to deny them at least the same benefits any other veteran would receive.

Worse than that. Read this EO carefully, it says anyone they see as essentially out of their mind OR homeless. It’s repeated under every point they make. This here allows to take anyone they see as a “threat” and put into an institution.
Now Trump will treat being homeless as an offense to justify imprisoning people without trial in the growing set of concentration camps that he avoids calling what they are. All in the name of safe public spaces and less crime. Unconstitutional, but hard to stop.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.
