Jeff Bezos “could strengthen American journalism and democracy - and restore his reputation as one of the great newspaper owners - by becoming a nonowner.” This suggestion by @stevenwaldman.bsky.social of @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social deserves fresh consideration. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...
Jeff Bezos Should Donate the Washington Post to a Charity
His conflicts of interests are insurmountable. He can take a heroic path to strengthen journalism.

TN GOP supermajority won’t expand Medicaid… cuts corporate taxes instead of the grocery tax… won’t raise the wage… busts unions… etc—this is the result.

Trumps, Fox, Marge, etc. all immediately rushed to pin New Orleans on immigrants, and Trump lied about the crime rate — but the suspect was a U.S.-born veteran who grew up in Texas, and the crime rate is down.
In case facts still matter.

I still remember my mother breaking down in tears in the high school parking lot, where we were all lined up to get the polio vaccine in a sugar cube. When she realized that one huge worry about her children would be taken away, she was overcome. RFK is dangerous, indeed.
RFK’s attorney has asked that the FDA revoke the polio vaccine.
Do you want more polio? Because this is how you get more polio outbreaks.
RFK is extremely dangerous for our public health.

This such a useful book! So fun to read, @bcdreyer.social is the perfect combo of smarts and hilarity. Get one for yourself + consider them as gifts for your nerdy word friends. Great stuff! 📕
I've decided to hawk the book and the game once and precisely once this entire holiday season, so I figured I'd get in a head start before you're all inundated, and today's the day.

We just need to know that they’re living with boots on their necks and that one of those boots is ours.
