The #WashingtonPost is laying off ONE-THIRD of its staff in the #newsroom & other departments, a brutal blow at one of #journalism’s most legendary brands.
The troubled Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks on Wednesday, including eliminating its sports department & shrinking the number of #journalists it stations overseas. The changes were announced by executive editor Matt Murray in a Zoom meeting with staff.

Well done, Neil Young!
"If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon"
“My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos. [...] Young’s complete catalog and a vast archive of live concerts, studio outtakes, and concert films is available on the Neil Young Archives in super high definition sound. Prices range from $24.99 to $99.99 a year, but he’s just gifted all of it to the people of Greenland in response to President Donald Trump’s threats against the nation."

❝ AMAZON JUST TURNED YOUR DOORBELL INTO A POLICE SURVEILLANGE WEAPON
[…]Flock has already been used to track immigrant communities and prosecute women over abortion access. Now your Ring camera is part of the pipeline.
No warrant. No vote. No warning,

Can you imagine if the billionaire tech bros were spending all their energy developing solutions to clean the planet and distribute resources better instead of incessantly enshittifying our lives and trying to devaluate labour?
What a different world that would be.
I wish them all a Ghosts-of-Christmas experience.
😊This reminded me of this old meme I made💙. Just replace #repuglicans with #billionaires
Our only chance is to #Resist & #fight
The best way to fight is to take what they care about most -💲
That means we DON'T give our $ to fascists & appeasers #boycott #amazon #bezos #skuM #meta #zuckerberg & the rest
