If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
@siobhan_ogrady It was my honor to work with you. You were amazing, unrelenting, never-ending font of ideas with an enormous heart and a fierce eye. I will miss our team.
So I join the ranks of the WashPost laid off, including so much of the international staff, my Russia-Ukraine department has been gutted and some of the best people fired. What serious paper doesn't cover that conflict?
For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

In the expansion of the Post’s foreign coverage under @jeffbezos, I was hired as an editor and I’ve worked with nearly all of their foreign correspondents in my job to help their work shine. It would be a waste to scrap this brilliant network, one of the few left. #SaveThePost
I had the immense pleasure to work with @reemakkad Satwik Gade and Hanna Good on this visual presentation of the dark and wild story of the koh-i-noor, the diamond that has become too controversial to appear in crowns of Britain’s queens anymore.

For Indians – as well as Pakistanis, Iranians and even Afghans – the diamond’s continuing home in London makes it a symbol of what Britain stole from them in the colonial period.
