Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Let's be honest, they are still market-testing what generates outrage
Memes of Obamas as apes=seems too much
Sending masked kidnappers to disappear Black & Brown folks=seems fine
Murdering white people & lying=seems too much
Murdering Black & Brown people in concentration camps=seems to be ok
Trump market tested his campaign with Birtherism and inaugurated his run calling Mexicans “rapists and murderers.” There’s no new information in the latest outrage. But there is further confirmation that commentators who denied racism was Trumpism’s central motivating factor should be shunned.

Just a reminder that Los Alamos was a cover. The real Manhattan Project was just a bunch of Minnesotans in a room with a single pastry, consigned to continually cutting it in half over and over until cutting it in half meant figuring out how to split the atom.
this is NOT what we mean when we say learn from minnesota

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Normal people are out there doing extraordinary things. My mom's health aide emailed me: ICE took 2 of her neighbors; when she told them they weren't welcome, she was met w/a rifle. Now she's driving a neighbor to work hidden in the back of her car & escorting the neighbor's kids to the bus stop.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
