In general, I agree - especially about local news.
But there is zero chance to influence a bad faith billionaire owner. That's why I cancelled my #WashingtonPost subscription as soon as Bezos killed the endorsement. And why I left Twitter when Musk bought it.
When a rich owner wants to make your bar a Nazi bar, don't stick around. Help discredit it as quickly as you can.
#WashingtonPost publică informații dintr-o notă secretă a secretarului Apărării, Pete Hegseth, care arată că “este puțin probabil ca 
#SUA să ofere un sprijin substanțial 
#Europei în cazul unui avans militar rusesc”. Totuși, #America ar urma să descurajeze în continuare 
#Rusia să folosească arme nucleare împotriva 
#UE.
Does Jeff Bezos support snatching immigrants who are here lawfully and deporting them to El Salvador? Or snatching Russian dissidents and returning them to Russia?

Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations
from #WorldOutlook
February 28, 2025
"On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind."

“Is legacy media dead?” asks @parkermolloy for @damemagazine. She looks at how, with newspaper owners interfering in the work of their reporters, independent media sources are the ones holding power to account. “What independent journalism offers that legacy media increasingly doesn’t is transparency about where it’s coming from. There’s no pretense of objectivity that masks institutional biases and billionaire influence,” she writes. “Readers know what they’re getting, which paradoxically can build more trust than false neutrality.”

I’ll gladly support the independent sellers that make up 60% of Amazon’s sales the DAY THAT AMAZON DOESN’T MAKE A DIME ON THOSE SALES.
Don’t try to snow us, you fascist fuck.

#Tariff news as reported by the
#WashingtonPost. Clueless opener.
25% tariff, and the opening line is "The president's plan will *probably* drive car prices up." ??? Probably? Will drive them up. How can this even be considered just a possibility?
The media needs to do better. We must insist.
"If it had been a Washington Post reporter who was inadvertently included on the Trump national security team’s Signal group chat, would they have run the story? No fucking way with that abject lickspittle coward Jeff Bezos running the show."

WASHINGTON POST: „Neben der Panne, die dazu führte, dass der Journalist Jeffrey #Goldberg Ziele, Waffen und den Zeitplan geplanter Luftangriffe auf den Jemen erfuhr, machen die Inhalte des #Signal-Chats deutlich und für alle Welt sichtbar: Was unsere Verbündeten befürchteten und unsere Feinde hofften, ist wahr: Die Vereinigten Staaten werden von einem Haufen amateurhafter Clowns regiert. Die nationale Sicherheit ist kompromittiert durch Chaos und Achtlosigkeit“, stellt die #washingtonpost fest.
If #Hegseth had added a #WashingtonPost reporter to the group chat then odds are Jeff #Bezos would have buried the story. #USpol #WaPo

You know that if #Hegseth had inadvertently added a #WashingtonPost reporter to his #Signal group chat instead of an #Atlantic reporter the story would have been buried. #USpol

#WaPo headline: "Alexa is getting creepier. Take this one step to improve your privacy. #Amazon is ditching an option to opt out of sending #Alexa voice commands to the company. It highlights the growing hunger for our personal data in the #AI age."
The WaPo solution: Stop your Alexa device from saving your voice recordings.
The better solution: Get rid of Alexa entirely: Amazon will still be spying on you.
