Agreed -- pushing back on the idea that Trump and the Republicans had a mandate after the 2024 election is just one of the innumerable things the Democrats could have done differently in the past year. Our current choice between Repub fascism and Dem fascism-lite isn't much of a choice ....

I'm not inspired to say anything positive about this article but I would like to put in a good word for Arwa Mahdawi whose columns in The Guardian -- and whose lesbian feminist perspective -- I often find to be worthwhile.

Even if the Post were to implode completely, Bezos only looks weaker if you assume he wanted to own a successful media outlet. If you assume however that he acquired the Post to advance oligarchy, he's doing just fine.

The state, and fate, of the Washington Post notwithstanding Bezos has not "lost his way." He is doing everything in his considerable power to improve his own lot in the world.
