Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, these newspapers were some of the high points of our civilization. I have learned so much from The Observer.
This is it, in a nutshell. US media orgs are obeying in advance (@timothysnyder.bsky.social). And UK ones are acting as useful idiots to some of the worst companies on the planet
Perturbing article by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on the opaque new ownership of the Observer. At a time when US newspaper owners kowtow to Trump, it's worrying to see a quality UK paper flog itself off for no discernable reason.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

"All corners of public life are showing gradual signs of accommodating Trump. Some of the voices most critical of him three weeks ago have grown more measured. Others have gone silent," writes @marcelias.bsky.social.
The Choices I’ve Made
From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.
