Jeff Bezos has caved in to fascism by forbidding his Washington Post editorial staff from endorsing Kamala Harris in a likely quid pro quo with Mango Mussolini.

Jeff Bezos engaged in illegal union-busting tactics, spending over $14 million in 2022 alone to undercut his employees' rights.

Jeff Bezos spent $500 million to build his personal floating mansion Koru, the tallest sailing yacht in the world that is so big, it has its own 250-foot support yacht.

Jeff Bezos, executive chairman of Amazon, extorts 50% of revenue from sellers on the monopolistic retail website Amazon.com.

Jeff Bezos this year bought his *fourth* private jet for $80 million, a Gulfstream G700 luxury business jet that travels near the speed of sound. Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what the average American emits in a year.

Jeff Bezos, as reported by ProPublica, filed a tax return in 2011 showing he lost money and received a $4,000 child tax credit from the US government during a year in which his wealth held steady at $18 billion.

I can go on and on, but how many reasons do you need to boycott anything he touches?

Cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel your Amazon Prime membership. Boycott Amazon.

You have alternatives. Don't feed the beast.

My hope for this election is there is still widespread enthusiasm for Harris because people don't pay enough attention to politics to have talked themselves out of it.

Thank you, McSweeney's, for perfectly capturing the CoinDesk endorsement of Donald Trump I wrote about last night

As a kid I often wondered how the Germans could allow the Holocaust to happen. In the past year I've heard all the reasons why.

- "I don't want to lose my job"
- "It will cause friction in my family"
- "Both sides are bad"
- "This isn't my issue to speak about"
- "I'm too busy"
- "I don't care about politics"

🚨 👀 🇨🇦 the opposition leader, and the entire party, refuse to even read the classified* investigative report documenting evidence of Conservative party members complicit in India's violent interference with residents and politics in Canada.

*classified? has bizarrely refused to even get the security clearance that's normal for members of Parliament. (Some folks conjecture he'd be denied because of his associations and conflicts.)

Now the CAQ government is saying it wants half of the 160,000 asylum seekers currently in Québec moved... but the federal government must manage it.

NO.

NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS. NO FORCED REMOVALS.

NO.
