I don't know what Jeff Bezos means by "personal liberties and free markets." But I do know this: The biggest threat to personal liberties and free markets in America today is Donald Trump. My @postopinions.bsky.social column on this week's trauma at the Post. https://wapo.st/3DaSKxX

Can you move from WaPo to Bluesky or Substack and run your column with a paid subscription or something?
The main reason we have a WaPo subscription is for your column.
(I have no idea how that would work, but we’re trying to ween off of Bezos)
I will not be reading anything published in the Post.
Not for billionaires like him.
I am sick and tired of seeing people who work for the Washington Post made comments about how bad Jeff Bezos is, just resign!

The threat and trauma comes from fascism for their minority control.

I would be interested in the basis for this assertion. I am not defending the status quo.

I hope you are right - that Bezos doesn't destroy WaPo. Either way, thank you for standing up to fascism. :^)
Democracy is dying in broad daylight.
It's the oligarchs that take away freedom again, just like when fdr called them economic royalists and had to slap them down
Bezos, Musk, Zuck and all those other cowards will be made to pay when their companies are broken up by anti trust laws.
It will happen. Eventually.

Until our broken institutions and changed, I will not have faith in them to do their jobs after they have failed the most basic tests over and over.

SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING until these bastards leave!
SURROUND THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE CAPITAL. NO ONE IN, NO ONE OUT.
Block the EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING to prevent them from entering through the tunnels.

But, I was able to read the entire story in my Apple newsfeed.
I can post screenshots if you’d like.
I already emailed a few screenshots to one of my friends that has no social media or a smart phone. 😉
The only principled decision is to abandon an employer if their moral principles are in radical conflict with yours. Thus, on the basis of your utter inaction, it must be evaluated that your moral principles (whatever they are) do not.
The damn fool billionaires just pushed us to the point where we ask them to choose.

Anything he said passed that clue, is garbage.
