I loved this book!

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

Don’t worry, AIPAC and the ADL both agree that the IDF did nothing wrong, so nothing to see here.

I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different. Today, August 25, 2025, is that morning. Something is materially different in our country this week than last.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve recommended it to someone who asks what it’s like and I say, “Just trust me on this one.”

I can not effectively communicate how much I love this book.

Servants of the Mafia State Merrick Garland, Jamie Gorelick, and the truth

Read Sarah Kendzior about him. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

Not that anyone cares, but I totally agree.

People are already saying that.

No problem. He’ll appoint the person who keeps his golf scores.

Not enough gold.

Well, except maybe the folks running the Democratic Party. Although I guess it may be a stretch to say they’re “on the left.”

That’s a rhetorical question, right?

“The cruelty is the point” is the answer to almost every question.

Terrible. I wonder who killed them.

“Some fear…?”

Towards the end of the story we learn that a forensic expert reported that it was a screen capture rather than the raw footage and consisted of two different segments edited together. But if you only read the beginning of the story, you’d never know that. CBS is now Trump propaganda, not news

Wow! Tough question.

Done.

Of course it doesn’t.

Um, no?

I adore her work.
