I cancelled my WaPo subscription last year, but for those who still subscribe, why? You could spend your media dollars elsewhere!

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.

I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Her most widely shared post was not even about Charlie Kirk, it was about the assassination of the two Democratic legislators in Minnesota.

@ahimsa_pdx seriously, I’m glad he is back, and I figured I should watch his show on Hulu since I still have it (I only pay $.99 a month and I wasn’t going to get rid of that deal to fight for a rich white dude.) He talked about how Howard Stern was one of his role models as a young man and I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I’m glad everyone pushed back and won, but there are plenty of more worthy victims of the conservative censorship people should be willing to fight for.

Thank you for doing your part. I never subscribed to WaPo I just read their articles in the archive so I don’t have to pay.

@ahimsa_pdx what the fuck, the thing about performing care for white men who espouse violence is like feminism x antiracism 101. it's not in any way controversial except maybe in the heads of the fragile rich white boy manbabies who own WaPo
