Jonathan Capehart explains why he has now left Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, siphoning yet more brilliance and truth from that cesspool of a journalistic enterprise:

"We’re supposed to ignore [what's happening to the country under Trump]? Leave it to others to wrestle with on their news pages and websites? No, no, no, no, no, said in 'Get Out.'”

Goodbye, Washington Post

"A swirl of terrified excitement" for 18 years, 5 months and 16 days

Those attacking me for pointing to a statement Jonathan Capehart made at Substack about choosing to leave Washington Post seem to have missed the point that Jonathan Capehart made that statement at Substack.

I refuse to play these divisive purity games in which ostensible leftists beef up the agenda of the hard right by attacking allies — because I have neither the privilege nor the luxury of playing those games. Try them with me and I'll hit the mute button.

@wdlindsy left the Post but chooses a Nazi platforming blog service in Substack Hmm
@metaphase When you find the totally pure platform, please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll continue reading material that's worth reading from the impure platforms — including WaPo and NYT, neither of which I have ever supported financially, and Substack, which I've never supported financially, either. If you have the luxury and privilege to play divisive games with much-needed allies, go for it. I have neither that privilege nor the luxury myself.
