Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend.
And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October.

Since it's the first day of Black History Month, let's recall Sylvia and John Webber, for whom Webberville east of Austin is named. The couple were central figures in Texas' headed-south version of the Underground Railroad. See her story here: www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent...

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

So gratifying to see, at long last, the great voting rights activist & legend Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer recognized with a presidential Medal of Freedom. A true champion of democracy, and personal hero.

I once had a professor ask “Why is there a Business section in the newspaper but not a Labor section?” My classmates and I probably rolled our eyes, but damned if I haven’t remembered that question every few days for 30 years now.
The best way to understand the NYT is as a chronicle of power, which may explain why there are ** checks notes ** seven reporters on this single story about beefing up executive security

That a right-wing lawyer just suggested before the Supreme Court that Americans don't have a right to not conform is... a real mask-off moment in a way I suspect is not going to get enough attention.
