Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But Iโ€™ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

When is some (just one) journalist going to tell Trump is just plain wrong about paracetamol in pregnancy. โ€˜Mr President, on the paracetamol issue and pregnancy, you are just wrongโ€™. Not a question, no comment requested just tell him.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Trump says heโ€™s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization and wants people put in jail. This is just another pretext to crack down on dissent or opposing viewpoints. That folks is fascist and why I am anti-fascist.

Hey everyone, in the heat of things, I originally saw this quote in a piece in the Nation, and their quote has since been updated to specify that it was specific to Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, etc.

But Kirkโ€™s clearly anti-black statements speak for themselves:

Washington Post columnist says she was fired over posts after Charlie Kirkโ€™s killing. So all the noise about free speech etc and @karenattiah.bsky.social gets canned. She will not be silenced, she will be calm and considered and devastatingly effective.

A patient this morning getting animated and loud about the โ€˜bloody migrants taking over our countryโ€™. Threatening โ€˜our womenโ€™ (I donโ€™t have any women, I do have a wife and daughter). I reminded him that I am a bloody migrant, but no let up โ€˜you know what I meanโ€ฆ..โ€™. Yep I know, itโ€™s racist.
