This obsession with reaching across the aisle to people who want to tear your arm off will kill democracy. Find everyone who doesn't want to do that and work with them, there are plenty of them.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.
When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.
I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

ICE agents chased a family into their home, tried to kick the door in, and forced them to barricade inside. Then, one agent dangled their house keys in front of their Ring camera.
Incredibly disturbing to watch these agents’ unhinged behavior and the psychological terror they’re inflicting.

A short video about neo-Nazi dress codes in Berlin, which I recorded after yesterday’s protest against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians. The most distinctive ones at the moment are Yakuza, Thor Steinar, Lyle and Scott, and Ellesse, but there are others.

Volkswagen kept a dark secret in the Amazon. Then a priest made a call.
Poor laborers were lured to the automaker’s cattle ranch in the Amazon and promised a better life. Brazilian prosecutors say many were enslaved.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
