What readers are saying
The comments express significant dissatisfaction with The Washington Post's new focus on "personal liberties and free markets" in its opinion section. Many readers perceive this shift as a move towards right-wing ideology, potentially limiting diverse viewpoints and aligning with the interests of wealthy individuals like Jeff Bezos. This has led to numerous subscription cancellations and concerns about the paper's journalistic integrity and independence.

Bookshop.org: Store Locator Discover local and indie bookstores in the United States. Choose your favorite bookstore to support with your order. They'll receive the full profit from your purchase.

While we're all in "Fuck Bezos" mode, two things you've probably heard before:

1) Shop local instead of through Amazon

2) For books, set your local bookshop at Bookshop dot org, and buy through there to get them a nice chunk of change:

Jeff Bezos is muzzling the Washington Post’s opinion section. That’s a death knell | Margaret Sullivan β€˜I couldn’t be more sad and disgusted,’ says former top editor Martin Baron

My latest on Bezos bulldozing the reputation and business of the paper he vowed to save. And yes, it’s personal https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/26/jeff-bezos-washington-post-opinion

I almost cancelled by @washingtonpost.com subscription when Bezos bought it but I stayed because there were still journalists I respected there but this was the last straw for me. WaPo is dead. Dark times.

I spilled an entire iced coffee directly into my open purse, and while I was dealing with that my sweet Josie dog snatched my beautiful cinnamon bun and horked it down whole like a naughty goose. She’s the love of my life. Happy Thursday everyone.

Reminder that they’re still approving all of trumps hideously racist and anti science appointments and are doing absolutely nothing to stop a private citizen from literally laying siege to the federal government.

a racist rioter attempts to smash his way into a refugee shelter, which has already been set on fire by the mob cheering him on in the background.

Defending yourself/your community against a racist mob attacking minorities is now a crime in the UK, as an asylum seeker who did just that has discovered.

The Int'l. Antifa Defence Fund has stepped in to help him.

There are easy ways to contact your representatives and tell them you want protections for trans people. Every Tuesday I use democracy.io to do so, and you can too.
This is the bare minimum. It’s not enough but it’s a start. If you see something, say something.

Headlines like this are meant to subdue our natural response of horror when observing this shit show.

These views aren’t β€œcontroversial” they are disqualifying.
