The Washington Post editorial board should not resign.
They should publish the endorsement and make Bezos fire them.

(1/X) Another thing about narcissistic sociopaths. First, let me say that the coverage of the campaign the last few months from most mainstream sources has been unconscionably bad. The general tone and focus of it suggests this is a regular election....

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.

The American right is a brittle coalition led by a handful of plutocrats who have convinced a large number of turkeys to vote for Christmas.

The most frustrating part about Adam McKay & others who flood lefty social circles with lies about Biden's economic record is that they're a big part of the reason Donald Trump still has any semblance of a political future.
But here's the *second* most frustrating part. (1/9)

1/ With Iran in the news, I'm going to do a brief educational thread on their history since the 1979 "Revolution" where they moved from a flawed monarchy with democratic principles to a theocracy under Ayatollah Khomeini.
Here's a picture of life in Iran before the revolution. She's cutting a piece of cake and showing her legs.
Religious clerics were put in charge of the government, and women's rights were severely curtailed. This included enforced wearing of a hijab in public, destroying women's rights to divorce, custody and inheritance, limiting women's ability to work in many fields and designing society where they were forced to be homemakers.
After the revolution, women were segregated from public spaces like theaters and sports arenas. It's difficult to advocate for your human rights when you are not allowed access to the public commons in the way men are.

If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a meal or a flight, imagine how serious it would be if a Supreme Court justice heard cases related to an election his wife had tried to overturn.

George Stinney Jr was falsely convicted and murdered by the U.S at only 14. He was accused of killing two white girls, Betty of 11-years-old and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the boy resided with his parents.
Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able to see his parents, he was held in solitary 80 miles from the city, he was held alone without anybody to talk to. He was heard alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.
At that time, all the jurors were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours and the sentence was handed down 10 minutes later. The boy's parents were not allowed in the court room, and was subsequently expelled from that city after the trial.
During his trial, until the day of his execution, he always carried a Bible in his hands, claiming for innocence. He was too short for the electric chair so they used the Bible he was carrying as a booster seat. He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in the head.
70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The beam with which the two girls were killed, weighed more than 19.07 kilograms. Therefore, it was impossible for Stinney to be able to lift it, let alone be able to hit hard enough to kill them.
‘The Green Mile’ by Stephen King was inspired by the same case.

Key to resistance against fascism is disrupting their activities, and this can be done in many different ways. Some are militant, some are not. The key tenet is to never give the fash what they want, and what they want is for you to do nothing while also posting about them.

The solutions to the climate apocalypse are collective and mundane—economic planning, technological development, and the redistribution of resources—but the freedom to pursue those solutions is very rare and very dear.
Presently, China alone seems to have this freedom.

You ever notice how the GOP only pretends to care about the debt when a Democrat is in the White House?🤔
Here’s why…with receipts.
Email Congress and make sure they know to NOT fold to GOP’s absurd demands: atadvocacy.com/mccarthy-budg…
