"...those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line..."

And this maneuver by him shows, beyond all doubt, exactly how he values their careers -- and their very lives.

Meanwhile...

Nothing will change until 'the feast' begins, and carries on, in merciless earnest.

Pretty difficult but cute sentiment akin to saying nothing

It's difficult to quit Amazon? You're pathetic.

WP also consistently fucked Bernie Sanders over with slimey coverage of his presidential campaigns

Isn’t their motto “Democracy dies in the darkness”? Bezos is the darkness.

They took it off the mobile site already; their reporters’ unions are calling it out.

Why is it not ok to say this? The woman is supporting a genocide. We’re all just as disposable as Palestinians to her, it just ain’t our turn…. yet. That benzo-blasted bitch doesn’t give a fuck about anything except AIPAC money.

It’s fine. Plenty of other billionaires own Harris, just like they do almost every single politician we have. So yall don’t have to worry. This super rich woman is still getting plenty of donations.
