This note that Jeff Bezos just sent to Washington Post employees about the opinion page is leading Post employees to speak out publicly. Reporters like Jeff Stein (who is on the news side) say that if Bezos starts to interfere with his work he will quit immediately.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest. Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?

“Now that you’ve unfairly called us Nazis I have no choice but to do a Sieg Heil” is really where we’re going with this. Do not relent. The public is not on their side. “It was an accident” is not the same thing as “I’m doing it intentionally but ironically.”

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

The NYT “Is Birthright Citizenship REALLY Constitutional???” op-ed is the conservative legal movement in a nutshell: “Sure, the law is X, but what if it weren’t”-style academic backfill for conservative policy advocacy. Dogshit writing, fantasyland analysis, embarrassing for everyone involved.

North Carolina has been a testing ground for this kind of governance since at least 2012. Massive disinvestment in infrastructure & the social safety net, as well as blatant corruption & unconstitutional behavior. Even when Dems win, Repubs dilute their power so the Dems can’t do much governing.

Pretty telling that the comparison here is “someone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoying” and “complete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nations”. It’s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. "If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'" Vile.

I thought the new Captain America would use Harrison Ford to have an interesting conversation with his 90s political action/thrillers like Air Force One. Instead, it squanders him for dull conversation with the Edward Norton Hulk movie, & lacks even the political coherence of “get off my plane.”
