Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

However, as owner of WaPo he only has to drop the merest hint of his displeasure with a story or political cartoon to spike it
The actual editors can read between the lines, their choice is comply with Bezos or, as Ann did, quit
I prefer buying local. Love 2nd hand products. Use my bike or walk.
For longer distances I go by train.
We have start at our own lives.
Many small amounts become a real big one.
The earth does not need any humans.
So, it depends on…
But the planet does need humans.... It needs the majority of us to wake up and realize that we are part of our ecosystems.
Humans have prevented disaster before technology (clearing lines of forest to create an air gap to slow fire fires)
It would put countless people like you and me out of work. So in the end, who would that really be hurting?
I can't stand Bezos, along with Musk and other billionaires, but it won't matter.
He is illegally suppressing unions. He is illegally manipulating surge pricing. He is stealing intellectual property and making cheap copies.
Their narcissism takes over every time.

That’s a lot of balloons
They are looking at Donald Trump.
But he knows his taxes will continue to go down so who needs honesty and integrity?
The boiled frogs are WaPo/Amazon subscribers.
this is my reflection on the topic (in italian)

I feel great about my decision.
I’ve added Wal-Mart…💵💵💵 whose employees need welfare to live.
Publix-endorse NRA politicians.
Others include Nestle, LLBean, X, Chick-F-A, & Home Depot, and Starbucks.
Remember the Exxon Valdez? Taxpayers paid for the cleanup while Exxon fought for decades against paying. How hard would it have been for us to buy our gas elsewhere?

We should absolutely cut Whole Foods off at the knees. Fascist, traitor, racist slime, part of the oligarchy that rules America like kings.
Use him to vanquish the commies
We are in dangerous times, when the very wealthy grovel to OT. High Court gave him king like immunity.
It’s how quickly 2025 can unravel the constitution
& how quickly OT gets his SS

Fk Bezos, cancel WAPO
Now I receive a constant stream of emails, subscription prize gets lower and lower. I am waiting for the moment they offer to pay me for subscribing. Then I'll say no, thank you.
Weak. Pathetic.
The subjects are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Altman and Soon-Shiong (and Disney/ABC.)
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

I don't like doxers.

Canceled WAPO today (Also subscribed to REUTERS)!
https://open.substack.com/pub/anntelnaes/p/why-im-quitting-the-washington-post?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1rquw4
I pointedly told them why I was canceling and that I hoped all of their responsible journalists jumped ship and started their own paid Substacks, too.
So disappointing!
Subscribing!

So glad she is speaking out.
But which is worse - them skimming off of other people's work just for attention? Or them (still) doing it on X to split $$ with Musk?
I'm not even sure.
Thinking back to when Google used to bear the motto "Don't be evil".
You can bet Bezos never thought that Ann would ACTUALLY leave.
But since it wasn’t a conservative it’ll be out of the news cycle by Monday.
So Mickey bowed down to the Orange one.
Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg
DeSantis with the lipstick and yes, phat phuck Trump.

Target has the same threshold for free shipping ($35) although they don't have all the same stuff as Amazon.
My plan so far is to shop Aldi, Target, Costco for food, Costco for gas, Chewy for pet supplies, Target for household supplies and toiletries (I love their gift card deals).

It also shows how impotent the American justice system is. Fraud has become rampant and lying for profit the norm. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah comes to mind. There will be consequences.
His large jacket is covering up his small, pardon me, forgive me, pee pee.

This is mad skill.
Hats off🎩
Can’t spread the idea that those who have too much power and money might be selfish, nasty and evil and ruin the entire society with their greed.

They need us. Companies have a vulernability and that’s that they need customers , US, to survive.
Stay away from shopping on Amazon. Buy local. If you have to wait for delivery, then wait.
Their profit because of OUR spending.
We have control we just need to use it wisely.
Better than giving it to that billionaire Bezos
My poor postal carrier runs around like a crazy lady delivering for Amazon cause Jeff cheapo Bezos and Louis DeJoy made a deal She now delivers Amazon as well as the US mail 📬
doesn't get paid for her Amazon gig
The prime truck comes into town, drops off packages at PO
They need to renegotiate that contract.
His incentive is to make your mail travel farther
For example all local mail is now shipped to the Lehigh Valley sorting center
Then shipped back to the local for local delivery
No cancelled mail at the local post office and sent back out to delivery

And having extreme amounts of money, which Apple does, is problematic in itself.
Because it undermines democracy.
The one I can’t always avoid is amazon web services although I’m not directly paying for it.
The point still stands, though.
I think I'm tired because I don't really understand what's wrong with the picture. America is broken & corrupt.
Where is she going next? That would earn my subscription for a while just for her hiring.
Traditional mainstream news is dying before our eyes.
The future of news will be online and independent.
so many nailings here.
He will grovel to the guy that screwed him out of a billion dollar AWS DOD contract in fear that it will happen again
Handing him millions for a fake Inauguration Celebration which is really just a in-your-face Grift
It’s on us, We the People. 🇺🇸
