No, they're absolutely taking from us. Billionaires shouldn't exist period. Their very existence threatens democracy. Tax them all to pay for healthcare, education, and housing.
Woody Allen never stopped working. Roman Polanski got a standing ovation at the Oscars in 2003, and you were called a rabid feminist if you objected. I've been writing about rape since 2008. EVERY guy I wrote about had defenders. It's not "the elite," it's patriarchy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXnN...
This debate or discourse or discussion about why Bezos is dismantling WaPo or whether or not more subscriptions or boycotts could change things or how he could fund it easily is pointless. It’s moot.
Bezos bought the Post to control the narrative and push his agenda. Financials don’t matter.
Easiest way to keep people from informing others, do activism, promote art or their non-profit org: make reach a pay thing.
What a fitting timeframe after laying off so many WaPo journalists.
I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
Wie sollte die Zivilgesellschaft reagieren, wenn die AfD tatsächlich regierte? Eine Analyse gibt Tipps: Nicht einschüchtern lassen, breite Bündnisse schaffen, dabei pragmatisch sein bei ideologischen Unterschieden. Außerdem: Empörungsspiralen nicht mitmachen & Humor.

Warum heißt es eigentlich immer „minderjährige Frauen“ und nicht einfach Teenager, Jugendliche, Mädchen oder… Kinder? Die Formulierung „minderjähriger Mann“ hab ich irgendwie fast noch nie so gehört. 🤨
Psssst: Das Konzept des ÖRR kann man verteidigen UND gleichzeitig Defizite benennen - aber das sollte man vielleicht ein bisschen differenzierter tun, wenn einem das Grundkonzept wichtig ist.
My criticism of oligarch-owned news outlets does not stop at Jeff Bezos' gutting of The Washington Post.
For the regime and right-wing billionaires, the value of national media is what it *doesn't* produce.

BREAKING: @ajc.com on Tuesday evening said it will lay off approximately 50 staffers, about 15% of its headcount, as it seeks to cut costs and marshal resources to invest in its growth.
The AJC published its last print edition on 12/31. About half of those laid off will come from the newsroom.
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
Merz reist heute nach Saudi-Arabien, die letzten Tage waren schon Umweltminister und Wirtschaftsministerin da. Welche Rolle die Golfregion in punkto Energie- und Klimapolitik spielt, hab ich heute morgen im DLF angeschnitten

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
Interesting!
Here's a guy I haven't thought about in some time. Fascinating story. There was a documentary a few years ago, which I've been meaning to track down.
For those too young to remember 1991, Diana is one of the worst cases of comics persecution in US history.
Anime may be entertainment, first and foremost. But art is almost always political. Anime is no exception. Many of the most popular and beloved anime have explicit political ideologies. Sometimes they’re expressed overtly. Other times, they lurk beneath the surface.
I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
The problem that many adults do not seem to realize about "age verification" is that everyone who is not a teen will have to provide ID (and personal data) to prove it. It's not about protecting kids, it's to control everyone.
Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship.
@cassiewillson.bsky.social is spot on in this video
Algorithms have failed artists, so once again I am appealing to the wealthy to go back to the practice of patronising artists so you can brag that your sicko is better than your rival’s sicko
This is what we’ve come to. From “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” to harassment of people who care about others and dare to put that care into writing. 😔
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
