This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

I have now heard several times that “NATO has never been as strong as it is today” and I think I am going crazy. #MSC2026

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands enlisted in the Dutch Army as a reservist, the Royal House said, because the country’s security “can no longer be taken for granted.”

I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo. Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink. And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

Former executive editor @postbaron.bsky.social says the Post is "a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction." www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I want to give a special shoutout to Post Reports, which I loved listening to. And especially their project “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop,” which was one of my favorite podcasts in years. www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/the...

I've been through some shitty times in my 20 years as a journalist but today just might take the shit cake

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

NGL this description of Bsky in Vulture cracked me up

“When in doubt,” Catherine O’Hara learned, the secret was to “play insane.” O’Hara, the actress and comedian who delivered deliciously silly performances, died Friday after a brief illness. She was 71. https://wapo.st/3NUTQCT

So tricky to hit the right spot. "Central casting" - yes lowkey hot - no www.ft.com/content/167c...

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram. 😢

A staple of authoritarian states: using their executive power to arbitrarily revoke privileges & selectively punish political opponents, in this case for peaceful and lawful behaviour. The courts are failing under this broad assault on the rule of law.

#Hungary: Musicians are creating rare spaces for young people to speak out against the only leader many have ever known: #ViktorOrban. In our latest magazine, @viktoriaserdult.bsky.social tells us why gen-z feel their voices aren't being heard ⬇️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Kari Lake promotes Trump on Voice of America. Does that break the law? My story: www.npr.org/2026/01/30/n...

Tuesday morning: New CBS boss promises “huge emphasis on scoops.” Tuesday evening: CBS Evening News anchor interviews his mom. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

This does not sound good: "Bari Weiss to cut staff, add commentators at CBS News." By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

Heartbreaking that Washington Post is weighing drastic cuts to its foreign coverage and staff. From Jerusalem to Baghdad, Kyiv and Gaza, colleagues at the Post put their lives on the line to get the story out. #SaveThePost www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

I'm daily amazed at the integrity of the efforts of @washingtonpost reporters in the middle of internal and external storms and stiff headwinds. #savethepost

Born and raised in DC area, had great privilege of working at @washingtonpost.com for 20 years. The Post isn't just a newspaper but an indispensable part of America. Its journalists are brave & brilliant, among the best in the world. No paper ever got better by shrinking its ambitions. #SaveThePost

We profiled refugees who: Arrived in the country legally. Applied for green cards. Were arrested by ICE and detained. One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released. This is an unprecedented operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

This is effectively a government backed advertising campaign for Big Tech for a product that doesn't work properly.

I find it so disheartening to listen to politicians - minister and similar levels - who keep saying things like “we should, one might, it would be good…” AS IF IT IS NOT THEM WHO SHOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN. Who are you talking to, this is YOUR JOB.

i often hear “Bezos just doesn’t care” as an explanation of his looming evisceration of the paper, but is that really the leading theory here? he’s approving this out of apathy? a man worth $249B who oversees a global business empire is giving a 🤷🏼‍♂️ to this being an unforgettable part of his legacy?

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

I have enormous respect for the @washingtonpost.com team in Ukraine: @siobhanogrady.bsky.social, Lizzie Johnson, David Stern and the incredible Ukrainian reporters/producers who work with them. #SaveThePost

My @washingtonpost.com colleagues worked round the clock this weekend to expose the truth of what's happening in Minneapolis and bring urgent weather news to millions facing dangerous cold and snow. If you value this work, tell Jeff Bezos to #SaveThePost www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Always remember that Hegseth accused Antifa, Black Lives Matters, Hamas supporters “and other progressive storm troopers” of creating “little Samarras in the centre of cities”. Minneapolis defined as a warzone where insurgents need to be crushed with force. www.economist.com/united-state...

“Bauer has been a teacher for 25 years, a period that has included a rise of school shootings and the drills that have become common to protect against them. “But I never thought it would be our own government we had to protect the kids from,” she told me.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Utterly inhumane behaviour. "In sworn court filings, a doctor who offered to render aid to Mr. Pretti described how agents initially hesitated and asked him for proof of a medical license." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

In my view, repression at home and thuggery abroad - most recently Greenland - are two sides of the same coin. Both reflect the worldview of people who think violence, power, threat and coercion are all that's required to push your agenda through & secure your interests.

Boom. www.ft.com/content/9796...

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Elon Musk shows up on stage at Davos, a place he has hated on from afar for years. After tepid applause, his interviewer, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, asks the crowd to clap again.

Dreadful WSJ editorial. Since when do we judge countries by whether they can repel a US invasion? Ludicrous standard. Also no thought given to whether US can defend the Arctic alone, w/out Europe. It can't. US needs Canadian icebreakers to supply Pituffik, for instance www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Missed this sinister line. 'Canada lives because of the United States," Trump said…"Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements"' www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It’s worth reading every word of PM Carney’s speech to see that we live in a new world. www.weforum.org/stories/2026...

The Musk-RyanAir feud is stupid, but it's one result of extreme global wealth inequality. The richest person in the history of the world can threaten to buy a company because its leader dared to challenge him. It's like a rich kid buying the nightclub because they wouldn't let him in.

Life comes at you fast.
