I hope Mackenzie Scott will add to her good deeds the founding of a newspaper to fill the void left by the now-dessicated husk that remains of our WaPo.
RIP WaPo🥲

We just cancelled our subscription. It's a shame. I've read The Post since 1986 when I first moved to DC.
I almost cancelled in October when the owner refused to endorse Kamala; again in January when Ann Telnaes left...today was the last straw for us. What a sad day.
Oh, and one of my friends was bullDOGEd today, just to make it better.
There was a time that I embarrassedly bragged (but proud) about how liberal the Wash. Post was. Today I was brought to tears. The beginning of the end???
Just dreadful. Are you going to keep Barney & Clyde going? I assume not, at a least not in the Post, as you wouldn’t want it as an attraction to that formerly-great newspaper. I’m cancelling that subscription regardless.
I can't imagine how horrible this is for WaPo staff. Bezos has ruined a once great newspaper.

I keep thinking someone will do this!
🙏 She’s already pioneered no-strings philanthropy, so founding a newspaper could be her next frontier!🤠📰
I am at a hair salon waiting to get my hair cut and now i am crying in front of the whole staff
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
From "The Tempest," Act 4 Scene 1
Thank you, Dale, for posting this. It's one of my favorite passages from Shakespeare.

So utterly disillusioning.
Democracy is truly dying in darkness, not just at WaPo.
Unfortunately it's being murdered in broad daylight, just like Voldemort said it would be.

Those days, while not gone, are being stamped down by enemies of free speech. There must continue to be resistance.
Does Rachel still have a job?
