@rbreich Last fall I paid a very low annual rate to resubscribe to WaPo and now see it won't be worth even that much.

@rbreich intentionally sabotaging a business that’ll declare bankruptcy should garner a “hobby” designation from the IRS. This should make the losses non-deductible.

I would reformulate that: having billionaires is a sure a sign that you don't have democracy.

social media post from @rbreich Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists -- Including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

@rbreich all the real journalists need to to form their investigation and reporting pipeline with public funding. Disseminating investigations to small grassroot Pockets throughout the country. Go underground.

We knew when Bezos aligned himself with murderer of Khashoggi.

#PrinceBonesaw & Koch Network funds a lot of fascism.

@rbreich I used to read the occasional WaPo article but now I have them blocked in my news feed... they are now in the company of Fox, OANN, CNN, MSNBC, and other non-factual and highly biased news sources.

Yes but, what are you doing to prevent the dictatorship? You won’t be able to impeach him, and in the end, you can’t even vote because the rat is going to nationalize the vote.

@rbreich We'll have to somehow take back our information sources from the billionaires' greedy hands!
