I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year.
So, well played, Washington Post.

Proud to “know” you.

Bezos is easy to spot.
Is the prostrated man George Stephanopoulos?
Who are the man and woman in grey?
@anntelnaes.bsky.social
For a billionaire, a newspaper bringing tens of millions $ per year is a blip in the radar. He could lose WaPo and not see a change in his wealth.
I’ve seen others by Telnaes that cut waaaaay deeper.
Why are billionaires such pathetic little weasels?
Not as weak as the opposition who can’t muster the strength to prevent this atrocity from happening in a system actually designed to keep this from happening.
We must speak up.

Protests & Boycotts can lead to Change & Improvement.
It also makes *me* feel better to buy local (incl local newspaper) & support new media for news. That helps me at least!
products so I guess it evens out?

Since leaving T she’s one of the accounts I missed.
Sad it took me so long to stumble across her…. That will teach me to pay attention to all these Starter Packs b/c I’m sure she is on more than one .
If you don’t follow her yet, DO!
@anntelaens.bsky.social is a hero for democracy❗️

Even my Republican women friends are turned off by how much their men are laughing at all the rapists in Trump's cabinet & laughing at Nick Fuentes saying "your body my choice"
They might be pro-life, but they never thought men would scream "you are chattel" at them in their faces like this.

They're not.
They're paying him off so they can gain a string to pull on their new puppet-king. They know they can far richer with Trump as that puppet.
None of them fear Trump. No one does.
This is more about having strings to pull on Trump, and tariffs, at most, are just simply one small part of that puppetry.
Who is tracking to see when it surpasses readership?
In that, they succeeded
Any signs that they are slowing!—

I guess that's Altman.
Trump maybe the most revolting product of it but the bigger monster here is the BIG money in our politics.
