When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.
@JeffBezos I read the Post opinions as a teenager, a major Influence on my life. I graduated from UNC journalism school and 40 years later I am a devastated Post subscriber deciding if I should cancel my subscription. I fear that democracy is on its way to dying in darkness.
My father wrote it in 1967.
And NOW.
Now is the time to “organize our strength into compelling power so that the government [and other power structures] cannot elude our demands.”

🚨NEW: GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski is planning to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination for Secretary of Defense.
RETWEET to thank @LisaMurkowski for standing up for our democracy against Trump!
So grateful to my dear friend and sister Bishop Mariann Budde for bearing witness to the love and mercy and compassion of our God. This is what it looks like to speak the truth in love.
Listening to the final piece played by @SXMJohnClare’s last shift @SIRIUSXM and fittingly it’s the same one that I had chosen for an Insta post earlier this morning. It was a hard choice because Bach was tempting. Thank you, John, and all the best! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣️
@SXMJohnClare@Symphony_Hall So very sad to hear that you are leaving @SIRIUSXM. My weekdays will not be the same without you. Thank you for being so awesome and wish you all the best! 💕
Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
It’s one thing for some leftist group to call you a fascist. Quite another when it’s a fellow Republican. And absolutely astonishing when it’s your own chief of staff.
🚨NEW: Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen will headline a concert/rally in Philadelphia on Monday for the Harris Walz campaign.
RETWEET if you’re proud to stand with Barack and Bruce in support of Kamala!
"Look at the stars..." ✨
Today, we look up at the stars and remember the great James Earl Jones. As Mufasa, he reminded us that those stars will always be there to guide us.
Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.
