For everyone asking about the best way to support me directly, *and* resist the madness that is going on in mainstream media. There are two ways! 1) A paid subscription to my Substack, The Golden Hour! karenattiah.substack.com?utm_campaign...

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

Some news.

I will be on @CNN at 9:15 am EST. Tune in.

White nationalist livestreamer Nick Fuentes has never been more popular, and he has a plan in place to leverage that popularity to infiltrate all aspects of US society to spread his racist, antisemitic worldview. And it's already happening... www.wired.com/story/nick-f...

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

Great seeing a Democratic official playing hardball like this. Giving into right wing censorship demands has to have consequences.

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

New: Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return on Tuesday "We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

Wow. After being fired from @washingtonpost.com, my Substack, The Golden Hour, has been #1 rising bestseller in Culture for three days. Thank you all for the support!! Please subscribe! substack.com/@karenattiah...

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

What ???

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

federal agent shot a kid tonight there were so many sirens it was insane www.wpxi.com/news/local/p...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

“And still”. #champ

I was harsh on the guy.. and now ….

The Smith family, which includes brothers David, Robert, Frederick, J. Duncan and a number of family trusts, was worth a combined $1.2 billion back in 2018. Total billionaire wealth increased by 88% between 2020 and 2024.

Marc Andreessen, the billionaire ally of Trump who believes in a radical extremist ideology that crowns techno-oligarchs kings, now owns TikTok.

So let me get this straight: the purpose of legacy media now, is to venerate Trump, white supremacy and Christian nationalism (and also Israel…) and any journalist of color who doesn’t go along will be fired.

So many people are asking how they can support me.. The best way .. is to support @resistanceschool.bsky.social! I’ll be teaching Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month. Sign up for lectures by me and guest speakers! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Channel your outrage about @washingtonpost.com firing @karenattiah.bsky.social into support for her work

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

Can we at least admit they’re seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear because they want an excuse to target particular people?

We simply do not have to play along.

Once again, it’s essential to understand that these top media outlets are political actors with an agenda to delegitimate the left and prop up and protect the right.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

The unholy alliance between Christian and Jewish Zionists can also be seen through shared tactics. Canary Mission and Turning Point USA each construct target lists of political adversaries in academia, subjecting them to harassment, death threats, and worse.

This just makes the double standard all the more galling. People were fired from their jobs (and worse) over claims of “antisemitism” that were really about solidarity with Palestine. Meanwhile the fascists will probably make a national holiday for their favorite Jew hater.

Honestly, though—after the last couple years, this just isn’t surprising. At my workplace, Zionists lined up alongside Christian nationalists (Nazis), screaming “Go back to Gaza!” At UCLA, Zionists attacked the encampment alongside neo-Nazis who said “we’re here to finish what Hitler started”

Just 3 years ago, legacy media rightly called GRT “racist” and its proponents “Neo-Nazis.” What does that make Charlie Kirk? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/...

This guy pushed Great Replacement Theory and explicitly pointed to Jews having a structural role in it. This was the motive for the Tree of Life shooting, which killed 11 congregants

This is why I don't understand the hagiography of him as a bastion of free speech. I agree that his murder was an assault on free speech as a principle of liberal democracy, but so was his politics. Condemning both is the only consistent position.

Dear @ezraklein.bsky.social: Charlie Kirk advocated for forcing 12-year olds to watch the public execution of Trump's governmental opponents, maybe by guillotine www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

if i get killed, you can quote stuff i wrote. that's why i wrote it

ezra klein is a leading voice on modern politics who doesn't fucking remember the violent aftermath of the 2020 election that was stoked by charlie kirk himself

I got you some blue jay footage today. Had to hide behind a tree to keep him from flying off and quickly realized I have no idea how you (or other bird photogs) actually do this!

i do not think it can be overstated at this point that we do not know who killed charlie kirk or why they did it.

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. -Charlie Kirk

Political violence has no place in this country… But we will also do nothing to curb the availability of the guns used to carry out said violence. The denial and empty rhetoric is learned helplessness— because the truth is.. America is sick and there is no cure in sight.

YES, Karen! You've ascended into leadership by being consistent and authentic and I love that for all of us. Dallas is so richly represented, they just don't know!
