Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

I, like hundreds of amazing journalists, was included in the latest round of layoffs at The Washington Post. I am proud of my 3 years. If you know about an open position or have a kind word, feel free to DM me. And, still: #SaveThePost

And in the meantime, if you want to help us #SaveThePost, consider writing a letter to the people who have the power to reverse course on what would be devastating staff cuts for the newspaper (and every single community we cover): actionnetwork.org/letters/save-t…

Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!! Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!

Everyone agrees our newspaper can only be successful if we work together across teams. It’s not possible to cover America in 2026 without covering the world. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

When I joined @postlocal in 2020, we had a staff of between 80 and 90 people. Now, we’re hovering at about 40. And yet, we still break news of national/int’l import. We hold power accountable. Our work changes lives. The nation’s capital needs a hometown newspaper. #SaveThePost

For 27 years, I have had the proud privilege to work for The Washington Post. It’s not the building (or the mice) that make it great. It’s the people – I am surrounded by colleagues from every department who are amazingly smart, talented and generous. I have had a chance to tell incredible stories because this place believes and pushes us to do the most important thing -- tell the truth. We work hard every day to bring this region – and the world – news that’s insightful, fair and accurate. If you value being an informed person and reading exceptional journalism produced by professionals, please support us. And please subscribe! #SavethePost. x.com/ErikWemple/sta…

Some thoughts on the potential gutting of the @washingtonpost's international desk. @JeffBezos, #SaveThePost

The Post’s Local section is facing an existential threat. Their work has changed laws and exposed corruption. It has drawn and kept our subscribers. It is central to how I cover Trump and his power. Keep The Washington Post a place that covers Washington. #SaveThePost

Please help #SaveThePost and amplify the work of my colleagues. Because bylines change, but readers will always deserve to hear stories from any corner of the globe or D.C. street corner or cornerback. We truly hope you keep your word, @JeffBezos.

#SaveThePost, @JeffBezos.

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege. #SaveThePost

Hi @JeffBezos. We will never forget your support for our essential work documenting the war in Ukraine, which still rages. Your wife has called our team “badass beacons of hope.” We risk our lives for the stories our readers demand. Please believe in us and #SaveThePost.

As @washingtonpost international & local correspondents, we have repeatedly risked our lives, side by side, because we believe that clear-eyed reporting from the ground serves the public good. To cut off that engine of brave, committed colleagues would be devastating. #SaveThePost @JeffBezos.

@pscanling @GaHouseHub It seems inclusive as best I can tell from this in the bill's current version: "Lemon pepper wings are enjoyed in countless variations, whether Buffalo with lemon pepper sprinkles, 'lemon pepper wet,' all flats, or hot honey lemon pepper;" legis.ga.gov/legislation/72…

@GaHouseHub @ben_brasch Wait, dry or wet?
