Regardless of RFK Jr being confirmed as HHS secretary, I will continue to provide evidence based health education on social media. We need more helpers now more than ever.

Pinch me. I’m in a dream! I guess this is really happening?!? 🤩 For years, I’ve watched in awe, from afar. Aurora. Yellowknife. Canada’s Northwest Territories. My boots will touch that stunning land tonight.
A solo toast at the airport. I’m Yellowknife-bound!!! 💥🌎☄️😎
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness and encouragement, both personally and in these social media streets. So very proud of The Reidout @joy.msnbc.com team, who are truly family, and all of our supporters & friends. See you tomorrow night at 7 ET, one more time ‼️

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.

I hope this puts to rest the insufferable conceit of that vaunted “wall” between opinion and news. The separation is more like a bulkhead in a ship. Everyone at the paper will sink because of the fascist-friendly Opinions page, even if Bezos doesn’t come for the reporters right away (and he will). Abandon ship, reporters.
Both Baron and Sullivan stand by the news coverage at the Post. I will not cancel my subscription until this changes. We need investigative reporters more than ever. ProPublica, Wired and Jane Mayer can’t cover all of it.
I understand your point, but you likewise understand that we subscribers only had one way of protesting.
I think your point is getting less defensible in light of how those readers and subscribers of the Post, many civil servants or contractors, are disproportionately suffering attacks on their livelihoods from this regime. At a certain point—one already past, in my view—the reporters have to take their professional skills elsewhere unless they want to be collaborators with literal Nazis. They won’t be alone in suffering dislocation and uncertainty, and the price of staying will sooner or later be disgrace.
Why not both? :-) I’ve done both. Also Target. Also stocked up and made nonessential purchases before Jan. 20. Also moved my 401k out of stocks. The only power we have left is economic. If 1 out 3 Democratic voters in the 2024 election—those with more disposable income—stopped nonessential purchases for a year we could reduce GDP by up to 3%.
My subscription expired, not renewing. Staying off Amazon, and I don’t shop at Whole Foods. Bezos will eventually find out that appeasement doesn’t work, ever.
Make sure not to purchase anything Friday. Nationwide consumption boycott that is apparently serious enough that the Post (!) had coverage of it yesterday.
For my part, I tried to make all nonessential purchases for the upcoming year, and stocked up on household items and non-perishables, before Jan. 20. And I’ve moved my 401K holdings out of the stock market (out of both fear and principle, hard to tell which). I don’t want to participate in this regime.
