How Jeff Bezos Brought Down the Washington Post The Amazon founder bought the paper to save it. Instead, with a mass layoff, he’s forced it into severe decline.

NWU, alongside @wgaeast.bsky.social, condemns the layoffs at the Washington Post & joins @postguild.bsky.social, @wapotechguild.bsky.social, & @newsguild.org in their demand that Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Post and one of the richest men on Earth, reverse them.

Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post offering “financial runway." This month it gutted its newsroom—more than 300 layoffs.

Whatever you think of legacy news, the hard data shows us that newspaper closures hurt Americans. Here's how: 🧵

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

Google paid Trump $25 million to settle a bogus lawsuit.

Jeff Bezos purged Trump critics from the Washington Post opinion page.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg canceled fact-checking on Facebook.

A pro-Trump billionaire bought CBS News — and is now buying CNN.

National Writers Union, WGA East Demand Jeff Bezos Reverse Washington Post Layoffs The National Writers Union condemned Jeff Bezos for precipitating the latest round of layoffs at The Washington Post.

NWU and WGA East both demand that Bezos reverse his Washington Post cuts www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

Les appels au boycottage d’Amazon se multiplient À la suite de la décision d'Amazon de quitter le Québec, de nombreux internautes ont annoncé leur intention de cesser de faire leurs achats sur la plateforme en signe de protestation.

Les deux chaînes d’information en continu de CBC/Radio-Canada,
-> RDI et CBC News
-> sont maintenant sur Amazon Prime Video, propriété de Jeff Bezos,
-> qui a baisé la bague de l'évêque de la "religion MAGATrumpiste"
-> Dépourvus d'éthique,

En rappel :

Un geste révoltant de CBC/Radio-Canada Comme la brebis qui entrerait de plein gré dans la tanière du loup, RDI sera maintenant disponible sur Prime Video.

Les 2 chaînes d’information en continu de CBC/Radio-Canada,

-> sont offertes sur Amazon Prime Video.

Cette décision donne des munitions à un géant du web américain qui menace l'existence même de nos médias d'information !

Innacceptable !

👇👇👇👇👇

L’entente annoncée entre CBC/Radio-Canada et la plateforme Prime Video est le symbole que le gouvernement canadien baisse les bras devant les GAFAM tout en contribuant à enrichir un empire américain. C’est tout simplement inacceptable.

Jesse Jackson’s Funeral Set To Begin With 3 Former Presidents In Attendance Jesse Jackson’s Funeral Set To Begin With 3 Former Presidents In Attendance

The event will be streamed live.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

🎯🎯

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

These far-right conspiracists are pushing Trump to take control of voting Election deniers are lobbying the president to declare a national emergency.

LIBERTY LEADING THE PEOPLE for Good

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Abolish ICE is ascendant. It’s not only a strong message, but a moral imperative. Keep pushing. And shame anyone who supports what this administration is doing. Cruelty doesn’t get to win.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
