Quanto o mundo gasta em armas em apenas um ano?

Quanto custa erradicar a fome no mundo?

Acabar com a fome é infinitamente mais barato. Mas armas dão muito mais LUCRO.

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section.

Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

I hired Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2017, and worked with him closely until he was murdered by the Saudi regime in Istanbul -- simply for expressing himself.

I put my safety on the line for years to push publicly for justice and accountability in his murder.

I am perhaps most proud of starting Washington Post's Global Opinions section.

As its founding editor, I helped build a journalistic home for diverse writers from around the world, many of them censored for their views in their countries.

I have always believed in using the pen to remember the forgotten, question power, shine light in darkness, and defend democracy.

I've always believed in using the pen to help people in need, and to assist the most marginalized.

I've never strayed from these values.

Pela milésima vez o Bolsomerda ocupa seu espaço preferido de autovitimização: o hospital.

Só espero que, dessa vez, a imprensa evite divulgar aquelas imagens asquerosas e escatológicas que todos conhecem bem.

É preciso libertar o Brasil desse trauma. A figura desse sujeito adoece o país.

O plot twist: este louco tem o mesmo sobrenome da minha tataravó da Prússia. Espero que não sejam parentes, pq o sobrenome é comum. 🙏🏻

⚠ Questionei o ex-ministro da Previdência, José Carlos Oliveira, figura central do governo Jair Bolsonaro, que não sustentou contradições. Ficou evidente que o esquema foi montado para atacar aposentados e enriquecer criminosos às custas do sofrimento de trabalhadores que contribuíram a vida inteira
