Unbounded collapse of America experiment.

Best way to punish Bezos: cancel your Amazon Prime Membership. Amazon makes $30 BILLION/year from Prime Membership fees and an estimated 95% ($28.5 billion) drops straight to the bottom line. These Membership fees represent a whopping 48% of 2024 net profit.

PUNISH Bezos = CANCEL Amazon Prime

At this point I don't understand why legitimate journalists are staying on there. For a while an argument could be made, but it's just become ridiculously obvious.

She signed off, wishing them the best.

There wasn’t a need for civility in return for subjugation to a totalitarian regime

I never got that tech bros begging for favours from Donny.

The truth is they bought and own him. They aren’t begging him. They’re telling him to do what they paid him for.

He is the puppet. Not them.

BRILLIANTLY SAID, ANN. THANK YOU!!!

Heard you on NPR a few days ago. Thanks for continuing to speak out.

One can only imagine how much worse things will get at the paper. Tragic that a Once Great Newspaper Dies in Broad Daylight.

The consequence of unbridled Über-wealth & the disparity it causes.

Imagine how much worse overall it’ll get, if the wealth disparity goes unchecked

A lot of things are getting dangerously eroded by this wannabe tyrant and his transnational cabal.

Political cartoons are my favorite kind.

Growing up I had an Uncle Peter. He wasn’t actually my uncle, but family friend Peter Kuch, editorial cartoonist for the Winnipeg Free Press. He covered many politicians during his career, especially Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. If you get a chance, find his book “Dief: The Incredible Chief” /1

Peter was also a proud Ukrainian and veteran. Between what has happened to his homeland and profession, I know he would be right there on the front lines with us today, ELBOWS UP! /2 fin

If only politicians had the integrity of people like Ruth Marcus.

We miss your work dearly, Ann.

I looked up why Hitler could stay in power without anybody protesting. I suggest every American that doesn’t know this, does the same.

Thank you.

Clearly what the market demands is right-wing version of USA Today.

mjk4mj.bsky.social•10 days ago

Dishonest right-wing propagandists stay on the air (Jennings, Hannity, Ingraham and others), normal honest humans get fired by MSNBC (a disgrace).

I applaud and admire both you and Ruth for your principled actions. Strong women are showing the way, in so many ways.

A properly functioning press plays a critical role in a healthy democracy. We don't have either.

dragonfly-vw.bsky.social•9 days ago

I appreciate your work and integrity!

jakob98.bsky.social•9 days ago

Editorial cartoonists shall be treated carefully or we all lose out. But editors also have a responsibility not to point the pen in stupid directions, I still remember this Sunday didn't get as good a start as usual

The only surprising thing is that I thought it would've happened ten years ago.

clouddawg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Your work is excellent. You really get to the core of geo-political affairs, and use your pen and your wit to skewer those in need of criticism. Your integrity scares them.
