Nope. I don’t know these other folks but ‘Mueller She Wrote’ made her whole Twitter career out of calling people names when they felt like Merrick Garland might be slow walking the investigations into DJT. Not just disagreeing but being psycho about it.
With friends like that, who needs enemies?
Yes I should have specified that my comment wasn’t necessarily for you, as we all have a right to follow someone even if they’re a resistance grifter. It was rather for anyone that didn’t notice her demands that we never speak about the impending threats that have now come to pass. A PSA of sorts.
@washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social trying to figure out why everyone keeps cancelling their paper, hmmmm…real mystery with such riveting journalism as this!
Not a single word from him about Trump inciting a violent insurrection, felony convictions, stealing classified documents, or interfering in the Georgia election. So we are to believe all those things are "normal" now...?
Watched Ellen Kuras’ biopic “Lee” last night.
Superb depiction of the atrocities of the Reich, visualized through the lens of the non combatant, innocent,
Lee Miller.
We must not underestimate the horrors/atrocities minions of an insane homicidal leadership will passionately pursue.
These are real!
Story Time is not News, it's a form of indoctrination to teach those without fully developed critical thinking skills. Bezos is a purveyor of propaganda for the next generation. One that can't remember democracy.
Just cancelled my WaPo subscription. The endorsement issue, Jen Rubin’s departure, and this was the third strike. I’m sad for the actual journalist that may still remain, but I’m done.
Thanks Jen! Your approach — of drumming up outrage over every little thing Trump did and being completely unable to offer up anything resembling an affirmative vision for what Democrats stood *for* and not just against — sure worked really well for 8 years!
"Just a politician" -- is that how we describe insurrectionists, felons, adjudicated rapists, and convicted fraudsters now Shadi? Amazing not a jot of this factored into your calculus when you declared him "normal". This is unserious analysis.
The whole carrying water for Kamala thing when everyone knew she was an unusually weak candidate was a nice touch too. Giving readers the illusion that they were morally superior because they were supporting an amazing candidate (because of "vibes" or something) worked really well!
If it’s “normal” to threaten a NATO ally to take their land, pardon seditious rioters, forbid international public health collaboration, pause ops of the world’s best research agency, & allow raids of churches, schools and hospitals for an immigrant purge, then I’m proud to be abnormal.
Same, but I canceled back in July just based on their election coverage. The writing was on the wall then. Everyone should cancel and #boycott republican supporting businesses and companies that ended #dei immediately.
And go out of your way to support those who are openly maintaining their DEI policies. There are lists out there, only ones I can think of at the moment are Ben & Jerry’s and Mastercard.
The media is filled with cowards and hacks. The media must speak the truth and call out wrongs and injustice no matter what. They must not bow down to anyone nor any political party. Our democracy and institutions must remain strong and be responsible and prudent representatives of all the people.
The Post and the NY Times seriously need to fuck right the fuck off. They're straight-up fascist apologists now and have no more legitimacy then any other authoritarian propaganda machines.

My sub goes to March, so I go to the site once a week or so but it's really worthless, lost. Bezos and Lewis are to blame.
Used to love the paper, now feel kind of gross if I go there. No problem stopping.

Also WaPo: Hey a little bit of darkness isn't so bad and the darkness-producer has promised us that there totes won't be any more 🤡
JFC!
Tyrannical authoritarian strongmen are the status quo in that slice of the world — but not in the West. Not the US.

The Washington Post is holding hands with fascists. Where is Nathan Hale when you need him!
Ghost this dishonest, traitorous rag.

I'm guessing we'll see some changes in the thinking about the rise of fascism, now that we're having a first-hand look.
Advocating that politicians are all criminals, and we should be ok with it? (based on what I can see from outside the paywall)

Stay tuned.
The Washington Post
It sounds like a Van Johnson-esque take.
Anybody worth read remaining @washingtonpost.com
So glad I cancelled my sub.
Fuck you!
