Tell Jeff Bezos: Stop Destroying The Washington Post

For over a year, Jeff Bezos has systematically damaged one of America's greatest newspapers—the Washington Post. What began with spiking a presidential endorsement to appease Donald Trump has accelerated into a full-scale crisis: mass departures of top journalists, hundreds of thousands of canceled subscriptions, and hundreds of layoffs that would gut the newsroom.

This is like inheriting a Stradivarius violin and taking a hammer to it. The Washington Post exposed Watergate, broke the Edward Snowden revelations, and won countless Pulitzers for holding power accountable. Its journalists continue producing excellent accountability reporting daily—despite everything.

Bezos claims the Post loses $100 million annually, but for someone worth $250 billion, this is pocket change. The New York Times is profitable and expanding. The Guardian US is thriving. The Post's losses aren't inevitable—they're the direct result of Bezos's choices to destroy editorial independence, force a hard-right turn, and drive away the core readership.

While Amazon donates to Trump's inauguration and funds a failing Melania documentary, the journalism that protects American democracy withers.

Tell Jeff Bezos: Save the Washington Post.
