The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

After failing to get in last min to the fancy tech investor event at the Palace Hotel in SF today, a security guard yelled at me for trying to exit thru the Market Street door bc "We don't want to let bums in here!" Also the mens' room had a line down the hall, women's was empty. What an industry!

You know the Kelloggs founders are looking down at this scandalized that their anti-masturbation wellness corn flakes have been seized by decadent Italian nut butter merchants
