They needed artisans and so they imported them and awarded them citizenship.  It was the beginning of Athens’ imperfect but glorious experiment in democracy. Great democracies are pluralistic.  We know that America was created by immigrants. Every single American is the descendent of immigrants or slaves except for those descended from our native population, the Indians. I mean, why have we allowed Trump and the Republicans to inject America with a false narrative about immigration? 

They are aggressively anti-democracy, as they demonstrate anew today with their decision to support purges of voting rolls by Republican states. It’s another lawless ruling that violates precedent.

Harris must do something about this court. 

Now it’s the Gannett Newspaper chain that’s supporting Trump and his treason by witholding an endorsement this year, thus making a tacit admission that fascism replacing democracy does not bother them.

“If the United States, the largest economy in the world stops transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel, every other country—China, Europe, all over the world, they will do exactly the same thing, and God only knows the kind of planet we will leave to our kids and future generations.”

Oligarchs and a free press cannot, do not, must not mix.

And Bezos is only getting started on a new chapter of editorial interference at the Post. That’s why he installed Will Lewis.

as he doubles down, with his incredible arrogance, on his decision to try to truckle to Trump, so that he can save a few billions out of his $200 billion haul.

The Post’s distinguished reporters would do better to find work with the Baltimore Sun, which is owned by a non profit.

It condemns Trump’s fascist hate rally at MSG, but won’t mention his name. Pitiful.

“And which rally was that?” AOC asks. “The way this organization consistently bends over backwards to mollify Trump yet always finds a way to call out the only Palestinian in Congress by name sends its message loud and clear. And it isn’t one of integrity. Really sad to see.”

desperate for some relevance after Fox fired him for costing the Murdochs three-quarters of a billion dollars, has been flouncing and goose-stomping his way through overheated scream therapy odes to his dream of strong men who will inflict pain.

This is what happens when unprincipled mediocrities with psycho-sexual issues like Carlson use nepotistic connections to attract the attention of a totalitarian subversive media czar like Rupert Murdoch. 

It’s one-hand-washes-the-other time–and no concern for the country or our democracy.

Mary Trump writes:

“On the same day the Post announced its decision, Donald met with executives, including CEO David Limp, of Blue Origin—the space technologies company owned by Bezos that has a $3.4 billion contract with NASA. I’m sure Bezos’ decision and Donald’s meeting have nothing to do with the fact that in 2019, when Amazon was the frontrunner to receive a $10 billion cloud computing defense contract, the Trump administration awarded it to Microsoft instead, which was generally seen as a retaliatory move because, in Donald’s view, the Post’s coverage of him was too negative.”

That is the long and short of it, and managements can spin and spin but it will be to no avail. They will be held accountable by readers.
