He will also relinquish his University Professorship — Harvard's highest faculty distinction.

I am a Democrat, but also I am a very uncomfortable zone for performative leftists. Especially wealthy white people doing easy things instead engaging in meaningful change, also profiting off the situation and dismissing true activists’ experiences. And I am not sorry nor mourning lost popularity.

Because monsters thrive in times of war 😭

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

I started an IG account for my dogs and followed only other pet accounts. My blood pressure is perfect and my heart is full.

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

We were born in the same country and I can’t fathom how bad her English is.

That’s how us who ran away from dictatorships feel about all of you, all the time. We just didn’t tell you until Trump.

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.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

'Democracy Dies in Darkness': Super Bowl commercial (2019) YouTube video by Washington Post

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

What the heck is UpScrolled? I went there all naive and eye-wide, however 👀👀👀

It a normal way of political communication in dictatorships - before social media, it was all on TV.

I miss Tesla, I admit, but no way in hell I am driving it again.

I’m too busy thinking why she hasn’t been elected and why Biden administration didn’t arrest people for treason because I refuse to believe they didn’t know there was one. If I believe they didn’t know I don’t know what to do with my rage.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

It seems they understood their assignment, there must be some trace of someone green-lighting it.

Yeah, sure. Because all other villains in history were competent geniuses.

Posting about beautiful things in life is how we survive. I love people here, but the setup is that we all are supposed to be the agreeable audience for few celebrities who are bringing us the light and often we should subscribe to be enlightened. And this is why BlueSky is not really growing.

I think what has happened last week is related first and foremost with midterms (free elections in general) and our freedom to organize. I feel what we do now will decide if we get to vote freely again.

Well I hope their party compensates them for the loss of the customers. We boycotted it before, but now it’s cemented.

I have no doubt in strong turnout, but these executions are just a preview of what are they ready to do. At this moment, I don’t see them letting us vote freely. And I don’t see anyone organizing around that. Do you think they’ll back off and let things roll out as they are supposed to?

Well, on that note, he could be the very person to clarify so much for all of us.

Can you imagine free and fair midterms in this country?

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day.

Do I have that right?

Last year, for my comprehensive exam I wrote a paper named “Post-Neo-Soviet Media after 2012: Structural Asymmetry, Exile Journalism, and the Limits of Survival” (hopefully I will find a moment to try and publish it). I am afraid it is time to write a similar one on the US media.

We know that. But if someone told me that Maria Machado would be offering her Nobel prize to Trump last year when I watched her accept human rights award from the Vaclav Havel Presidential Library, I’d call them crazy.
