Phillip Bump's farewell after being downsized by #ElHefe #Bezos #WashingtonPost is commentary focused on #DJT being unable to simply sell his once most vocal voters & spirited supporters on quietly closing down the #Epstein matter, revealing political perils of building a #MAGA movement bent on stoking #suspicions , cherry picking perspectives, and tearing down #trust in institutions.

Meanwhile as I go to post @pbump link, I see several other #publications, including #Atlantic have articles shared on how the pedantic #Prez primed his own base to not trust him, and other similar takes on the ongoing hopelessly spinning shifty #scandal and inability to stop the #story from spiraling with unintended consequences...

Continued thread

"So I'm actually stinking rich, but on paper I have no income and 100 million in debt. Jeff Bezos used that trick to get a child benefit tax credit in 2011. And by then he was already worth 18 billion. Poor man."

"These rich assholes aren't just one or two of them; it's a complete system. That's neoliberalism."

"The hollowing out of our society by neoliberalism is the real screw-up."

"The right-wingers are right! But not in the way you think. We're being screwed – not by refugees, feminists, or Greta Thunberg. But by the super-rich assholes."

"We have the feeling that the system is unfair. And then we get angry."

"The problem isn't that so many people are angry. Actually, we should all be much angrier. The problem is what we do with this anger and who we direct it at and who we don't."

Jeff Bezos threats to buy Conde Nast should absolutely be taken seriously.

It would give him control over a number of media outlets that are strong voices in opposition of fascism (like Wired and Teen Vogue)

Under the oligarchs control they would be forced to become right wing propaganda.

Now more than ever we must support independent journalists… many of whom are speaking truth to power despite the personal risk.

If you can boycott Amazon, please do it. Send a strong message with your wallet that you don’t support fascism or the billionaire class.

If you can’t boycott, please don’t feel guilty. Many disabled people and those in poverty may be reliant on Amazon for supplies they can’t get elsewhere.

Trust that your community is boycotting on your behalf.

We’ve got you, and you need to take care of yourself in order to survive.

No guilt. We all resist in whatever way we can.

I was quoted in this Teen Vogue article about mask bans and the harm they pose for the disability community.

This is the kind of inclusive journalism Teen Vogue has been doing for years.

If Bezos purchases them, it’ll be the end to stories about disability, trans rights, immigrant rights etc:

The only way democracy can survive is if media outlets are owned and operated by their own staff – the journalists, reporters, and editors who are the reason people read them in the first place.

Journalistic feudalism is not the way forward. We urgently need democratic media. ✋🏽✋🏻✋🏿
