The deadliest year ever for journalists. Driven by authoritarianism, corruption, crime and war in Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan, a record 124 journalists lost their lives in 2024, with another 361 jailed for their work. Explore the data @pressfreedom: cpj.org/2025/01/attack…

Kristi Noem is on set with Laura Ingraham in full Border Patrol gear but also with her makeup on fleek. Completely ridiculous.

Bums me out that I have to re-Xify a tweet from a partisan operative about this instead of a news org but here we are. This is a garbage idea from garbage candidates

I know many great journalists at both @latimes and @washingtonpost. Please don’t take your views on their owners out on them. Their journalism is essential today and in the future.

@KarenAttiah Forget about canceling your Washington Post subscriptions, all of you snowflakes should cancer your Amazon membership, if you had the courage of your convictions, of course. And Amazon Prime, Whole Foods, cut it all out of your life, yes? Lmfao, paper tigers

@KarenAttiah I love the post staff and wish you nothing but success but I also think Bezos only understands numbers and money. Principles are for other people. Hopefully we can scare him by showing that principles mean something and you can all live happily ea

I understand the sadness and frustration readers have right now. Cancelling Washington Post subscriptions hurts journalists, editors and staffers, not our owner. WaPo is more than our owner and management. Please don’t give up on us. Many of us aren’t giving up on you all.

@royermattw @washingtonpost You know what really hurts reporters and editors? Resigning from one of the few well paying employers left. A blitzkrieg mass cancellation like this is perfect. You can’t credibly lay people off when your audience vanishes because of reputational self harm by management

The only people you hurt when you cancel your @washingtonpost subscription are the reporters who did not make that decision, are in a dying industry and who do the groundwork to feed the news to on air anchors and TV reporters. Jeff Bezos couldn’t give less of a sh*t about you cancelling your $120 a year compared to the $12 billion he makes annually.

NEWS: More than 200,000 subscribers have canceled their digital subscriptions to the Washington Post after the revelation that owner Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of VP Harris. That's about 8 percent of WaPo's subscriber base - a staggering sum MORE npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-…

Setting aside the very obvious fact that it's bad that extremists are now setting vote-by-mail drop boxes on fire, this is a reminder that if you do vote by mail, you should check online to make sure that your ballot has been accepted.

Burning ballots were pulled from inside a smoking ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, this morning, hours after police responded to an arson at a Portland ballot box katu.com/news/local/van…
