The assault on the First Amendment escalates: “Short of prosecuting a reporter under the Espionage Act, the word ‘escalates’ doesn’t mean anything anymore. It’s just open season now.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... @RuthMarcus @NewYorker
Trump’s War on Journalists
The recent subpoenas of reporters make clear that the President is trying to threaten the press. Few protections are in place to stop him.

I stayed until I no longer could—until the newspaper’s owner, Jeff Bezos, issued an edict that the Post’s opinion offerings would henceforth concentrate on the twin pillars of “personal liberties and free markets,”

I am appalled, disgusted and upset that the brilliant @RuthMarcus of the devolving @washingtonpost was prompted to resign because her thoughtful piece was killed by the editor ( and owner’s “bended knee”).😡
Very “Europe 1930’s” of them!

Media orgs run by agenda-based billionaires that kill fact-checked opinion columns #RuthMarcus helps put We, the People on the slippery slope of downhill democracy.
#JeffBezos can take it on the chin & fire his editor or just continue the slow death of the wonderful #WashPost.

Re-activated my subscription to #WashingtonPost so I could leave a comment for #JeffBezos telling him how I felt about #RuthMarcus leaving for being editorially gagged.

And then I immediately canceled the subscription again.

I got your "two pillars" right here, Jeff.

I don’t know about all of you, but I’d love to see Amazon stocks fall significantly like Tesla’s. I sold my crumbs today. I don’t want any more of a part of Bezos’s wealth while he squelches freedom of the press. Since I don’t have a wapo subscription, this is something I’m able to do. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #RuthMarcus
