Proud of my prior decision to cancel my subscription to The Washington Post.

Looks like it is now time to be done with Amazon.

I wonder what his Rosebud is?

So they’re searching for a new editor - is Leni Riefenstahl available?

So he’s going to immediately run a massive series on how awful it is that Trump is purging blacks and women and LGBTQ from the military leadership and across the government? And MAGA is out for national abortion ban? Our is he just going to go full “vaccines are bad”?

No one needs that cheap Amazon junk anyway....

Some people are complaining about renewed canceled subs : log in to your account on the Washington Post website, navigate to "Manage Subscription" and select "Cancel Subscription, and ask for refund if early..

If it does not work, complain .. this rock has been turned https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/10/federal-trade-commission-announces-final-click-cancel-rule-making-it-easier-consumers-end-recurring

Henry Ford used his money and ownership of a newspaper to print antisemitic filth. Why shouldn’t Bezos use his power to publish anti-humanism? Fair taxation leads to a fair society.

A newspaper that muzzles its opinion writers isn’t worth the newsprint.

Well-stated. 👏🏼👏🏼

If people feel they can’t totally pull the plug, cancel Amazon Prime. You can then look for products on Amazon and then buy elsewhere.

lyricvision.bsky.social•22 hours ago

100% agree. I'm on the same path altho I have hated and avoided Amazon (and Bezos) for some time now. Time to complete the job.

5ftoh.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Done that and done that. It's a good feeling, even if only for a moment.

edbarrett2001.bsky.social•22 hours ago

A sad day. I quit Amazon years ago. No one needs to be that rich.

mkg-sd.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Canceled wapo last year and did not renew our personal and business Prime memberships at the start of this year when they were set to renew. Whole foods sucks so I don't shop there either.

Wapo's new uniform (sorry to be repetitive with this gif but it's true):

lifebites.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Canceled all subscriptions I had through Amazon last night after hearing about this.

msbirdie.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Fox News revisited. Bye bye Amazon.

seattlek8.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Might as well be Fox “News”

cleo-thecat.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Good for David Shipley. Controlling op ed's isn't free speech. Wapo is the fox news of newspapers. Cancel both Amazon & wapo. Don't be shy on the questionnaire about why you're quitting

After purchasing an item on Amazon last Oct, the seller from China sent me a $10 gift card in exchange for a review. I reported the seller and left a bad review. Amazon removed my review and suspended me. Meaning amazon condones this and silences the buyer because it's more money in bezos pocket.

swede700.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I've already started that. I choose to go to the manufacturer directly in most cases rather than purchase it from Amazon.

kathrynnicholskc1.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I haven't shopped at Amazon since Bezos blocked his editors' endorsement in the presidential election. I never will again. "Democracy dies in darkness."

joynemeth.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I'm done with Amazon.

prosselizabeth.bsky.social•22 hours ago

The biggest thing I understand about this the Washington Post will not share opposing views.
I’m not clear on what stance they are taking, so clarity is welcome.
I feel I’m still glad I cancelled my subscription.

600lbsofsin.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Was done with all of his enterprises after the election.

lisaheresocal.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Agree. Cancelled the Post and it’s long past time to cancel everything Amazon/Bezos. F that guy.

nancymerklein.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I canceled WaPo last fall when they refused to run the editorial supporting Kamala Harris for president.
I almost never use Amazon but will now completely stop using them.

maremare711.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Told my husband I’m not ordering anything from Amazon anymore, he’s agreeing

I dropped Prime and Amazon right after the election.
I will not support those who do not support us.
Ever again.

Here is a list of companies owned by Bezo as well as those where he has invested. We have to fight back hard against this oligarch. I am doing my best to not use any company in which he has an interest: https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/jeff-bezos-companies/

mdossky.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I cancelled my Prime membership. I hope more people do the same. More and more I am ordering directly from the vendors store when possible. I can wait a little longer to receive my package and often I get free shipping. Screw Jeff Bezos.

jennnq666.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Ew!

au-ug.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Yup. We need to David and Goliath these oligarchs.

Cancelled my prime membership last week.

bibliobelle.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Every day The Washington Post validates my reasons for canceling my subscription months ago. Today is no different.

gsu1995.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I last ordered from Amazon was 2018 when I was in grad school and needed textbooks. I use ship to store or buy local. I read major newspapers at my local library and/or my online newsfeeds.

Won't be renewing my amazon membership when it comes due.

4evarebl.bsky.social•22 hours ago

FWIW I cancelled today and actually got a tiny refund. It’s worth it to stick it to Bezos!

stevechivers100.bsky.social•20 hours ago

"...viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left...." And coincidentally, the viewpoints he opposes will be left-wing ones. So much for "freedom."

pmiraclen.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Wow. Just wow. They own the media and they're not ashamed to admit it.

Says he is /of America, but cannot think of a more un-American thing to do. Lots of that around at the minute.

badwolf13.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Yes get rid of Amazon! I know not everyone is able to boycott all of these companies rolling over to tyranny but if you have the means to shop locally and go out of your way to get the things you need you find you bought a lot of useless stuff online, on target runs ect. Hurt them with our money.

I cancelled. There are options for everything

acohan.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I decided to buy nothing further from Amazon 20 years ago. Too many small suppliers were being destroyed. It is no hardship to shop around. My only regret is not using Amazon Prime, but as my late grandmother used to say, "If that's the worst thing that ever happens to you...."

patcat13.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Father of capitalism says yes, let’s defend capitalist free markets. Agree 100%
Any other economic policy will destroy the very country that protects you. Bezos is truly wise! He knows economics! A voice of reason!

Katharine Graham is rolling over in her grave. Bernstein and Woodward you ok with this? How about speaking out for the free press. Woodward how about revealing your news in real time to save democracy instead of saving it for making money on books years later.
