Somebody please buy the Post from Bezos and remake it into a worthy 'news' outlet. Thank you.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

9 of 14 hospices in Wales face a financial deficit next year. One has closed. Another is temporarily shut. Services people rely on are at risk because the current funding model is unsustainable.

It takes special people to stand up and speak out. Perhaps a journalist should get backers to buy he or she a paper?

If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks.
That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.

That's certainly easier than the usual, 'unplug, wait 30 secs or a minute, then plug back in and restart.'
After a power outage in November, my TV and my AppleTV stopped being friends and I had to use three remotes. After being in a box for a month, everything works.

How many boxes need to be checked for a banana republic dictator wannabe to actually gain the oligarch throne?
So far:
• Became filthy rich robbing the US
• Formed Führer's 'police' force
• Invaded states paramilitarily
• Elections takeover begun
• Unchecked power sought
• Executions begun

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

I want to believe that yesterday’s election results mean something big, but I think it’s a lot more complex than what the pundits are prematurely declaring. Will this translate to November and beyond? Maybe. Hopefully. But I’d temper expectations cuz this is still a state very rich in shitty people
