Bezos is NOT a newspaper guy — he’s a businessman. To him, the Washington Post is just a line-item on a spreadsheet. More importantly, Bezos is also a government contractor. He’s the founder of Blue Origin, the aerospace company behind those dick-shaped rockets.

Now, Bozo's no dummy, he saw the Space Nazi skippin’ like a dipshit & giving hundreds of millions to Donny, & a dim light bulb went off over his head. "Oh shit, this is going to affect my bottom line". So he phones up the Washington Post & tells them that’s it, there will be no endorsement of Kamala Harris. Sure enough, 20 minutes after the announcement was made, this happened:

"Ex POTUS Trump met with leaders from the Jeff Bezos-owned aerospace company Blue Origin following his speech in Austin, Texas.

The Republican had a short meeting with the aerospace company CEO David Limp & VP of government relations Megan Mitchell, according to The Associated Press."

Editor Robert Kagan, who quit his WaPo after the news broke that the WaPo wouldn’t be endorsing Kamala:

“Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do, & then met with the Blue Origin people, which tells us that there was an actual deal made, that Bezos communicated with Trump, & they set up this quid pro quo.”

Bezos’s non-endorsement of Kamala Harris is actually a ringing endorsement of fascism. Capitulating in advance to a bully because you’re afraid of something that might happen is literally how appeasement & fascism works. Bezos knows that Donny will blow a fucking gasket and seek retribution if the Post backs his opponent.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this Jeff, but no fucking way, bro. There is no placating someone who is a bottomless well of need & greed. Has giving your lunch money to the playground bully ever been the end of it? Of course not. You’ve proven yourself an easy mark, & he’s definitely coming back for more.

This was the WaPo in 2018:

First off, ITS lib-R-ary with an "R" NOT "LIBERRY"!

STATEMENT: Project 2025 and Libraries

EveryLibrary opposes the Project 2025 framework by the Heritage Foundation because it would dismantle important parts of how public libraries build communities, how schools support students and families, and how higher education supports the next generation of scholars.

It is essential to recognize libraries' role as neutral and inclusive spaces dedicated to providing readers with access to a wide range of information and books.

The Heritage Foundation has been calling for the closure of the Institute of Museums and Library Services (IMLS), the only source of federal funding for public libraries & state libraries. In Blueprints dating back to the mid-2010s, they say that Congress should have no role in ensuring that libraries are strong and available to everyone. We disagree, and so have Congresses with both Republican and Democratic majorities, which have repeatedly rejected their proposals.

Project 2025 would dismantle much of what makes K-12 public education the great leveler of American society. From proposals to eliminate the Department of Education and phase out Title I support for the poorest of schools to scaling back Civil Rights enforcement in the name of parents' rights. They advocate for increased censorship and threaten criminal penalties on educators. This will discourage school librarians from providing diverse materials, limiting students' access to comprehensive educational resources.

Across Higher Ed, Project 2025 proposes significant changes that align with a broader agenda aimed at reducing federal oversight and funding with substantial negative implications for academic institutions, students, and the quality of education. The broader cultural and educational policies proposed could undermine academic freedom, restricting access to research and materials that are essential for higher education and critical inquiry.
