A member of the Wash Post editorial department tells me: Bezos's decision not to endorse is "an outrageous abdication of responsibility. Democracy doesn't die in darkness, it dies when people anticipatorily consent to a fascist's whims."

Gutted to learn that @Tinu passed away. She deserved so much better. Our #healthcare system failed her. You can read Tinu's writing here. "To be a Black #disabled #woman in America is to be unwillingly invisible in your greatest time of need." yesmagazine.org/social-justice…
