Martin Baron, the Post’s first editor under #JeffBezos, condemned his former boss this week for attempting to curry favor with #Trump & called what has happened at the #newspaper “a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”
The British-born #WillLewis was a former top executive at The Wall Street Journal before taking over at The #WashingtonPost in Jan 2024.

They came on top of widespread talent defections in recent years at the newspaper, which lost tens of thousands of subscribers following #Bezos’ order late in the 2024 presidential campaign pulling a planned endorsement of #KamalaHarris, & a subsequent reorienting of its #opinion section in a more #conservative direction.

Neither Lewis nor the newspaper’s #billionaire owner #JeffBezos participated in the meeting with staff members announcing the layoffs Wednesday. While anticipated, the cutbacks were deeper than expected, resulting in the shutdown of the Post’s renowned #sports section, the elimination of its #photography staff & sharp reductions in personnel responsible for coverage of metropolitan Washington & overseas.

#WashingtonPost #publisher #WillLewis said Saturday that he’s stepping down, ending a troubled tenure 3 days after the #newspaper said that it was laying off ⅓ of its staff.
Lewis announced his departure in a 2-paragraph email to the newspaper’s staff, saying that after 2 years of transformation, “now is the right time for me to step aside.” The Post’s CFO, Jeff D’Onofrio, was appointed temporary publisher.

A Mountain of Mystery
#BurntJacket’s Future and the #Billionaire Rumor
June 12, 2025
By Emily Patrick"In our October 31, 2024 Edition of the Moosehead Lakeshore Journal, we broke the story of the #BurntJacketMountain sale and the closure of its popular hiking trails, publishing a Letter to the Editor written by local author and trail enthusiast, Chris Keene.
Chris wrote, “A large landowner on Burnt Jacket Mountain…is taking steps to close all three trails on the mountain. That means the Blue Trail, the Green Trail, and the Red Trail will be closed down permanently.” He continued, “To have an entire trail network wiped off the face of the earth would be a mighty blow, not just for hikers, but for regional businesses.” These trails, though crossing through private property, were open to the public for at least 20 years prior to the recent sale, as the recovered logbooks prove.
We followed up on the story in our November 14 2024 Edition after obtaining a building permit from LUPC outlining the new owner’s plans for the parcel. Here’s an excerpt: “A building permit for a portion of the property was submitted by Sevee & Maher Engineers out of Cumberland, Maine, on behalf of Burnt Jacket Holding I, LLC for a ‘proposed barn off Burnt Jacket Road in Beaver Cove.’ The project summary for permit number 17544 reads as follows: ‘Agricultural barn. Includes Tractor and Equipment storage, feed storage, hayloft, greenhouse, and chicken coop.’ Another portion of the project with permit number 17544-A describes a, ‘Year-round dwelling with attached garage, detached garage, driveway, and one shed. Install well, septic system, and utility lines.’ Both appear to have been approved by LUPC representative Billie J. Theriault on August 22, 2024.
Recently, the Moosehead Lakeshore Journal reached out to the Natural Resources Council of Maine for comment, and #NRCM’s Staff Scientist and Woods, Waters, & Wildlife Director Luke Frankel poignantly shared, “The loss of Maine’s longstanding tradition of public access to private land is one of the greatest threats facing the #NorthWoods. This case at Burnt Jacket Mountain is a potent example of what we’ve been hearing from other parts of the state.
Changes in landownership and a rise in development pressure since the pandemic have changed the landscape of the Unorganized Territories. Our land trusts, outdoor recreation clubs, and other local community-based organizations play a critically important role building strong relationships with landowners to solidify the trust that is at the core of Maine’s tradition of public access. We also need to begin a statewide conversation about this emerging threat to identify solutions and pathways for ensuring equitable public access is a value held by everyone.”
Though the story of Burnt Jacket Mountain has caused quite a stir and exemplifies a statewide issue, six months later, we still don’t have answers, and not for lack of trying. Recently, however, a new pending project on the parcel has raised some eyebrows, and whispers of the true identity of the landowner have narrowed down the list of possibilities as the Journal has uncovered new clues.
The new Burnt Jacket project, which is still awaiting permit approval from LUPC at the time of publication, is for a “…proposed driveway…4059’ long and 16’ wide with a minimum of 2’ wide shoulders on both sides; it is located entirely on private property…Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2025.” The permit application says the driveway will be used for “residential and land management” uses.
Perhaps more interesting than a pending driveway permit, one name has risen to the top of the list of rumored buyers. Though it remains speculatory, the Moosehead Lakeshore Journal has uncovered evidence that seems to point to billionaire tech CEO Mark Zuckerberg, one of the property’s rumored buyers.
Though, much to my chagrin, it seems anyone and everyone involved in the Burnt Jacket project has signed a non-disclosure agreement, I found that Zuckerberg very publicly keeps his business holdings in the State of Delaware. While searching through the State of Delaware’s website, I came upon an interesting clue: Burnt Jacket Holdings I & II both list Incorporating Services out of Delaware as the Registered Agent.
While this in and of itself doesn’t mean very much, I decided to search META, which we know is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, in the same database. In my search, I found that at least three of the dozens of META companies associated with Mark Zuckerberg actually list the very same Incorporating Services as the Registered Agent. While this information doesn’t prove Zuckerberg is the Burnt Jacket mystery buyer, it does little to dismiss it. Of all the holding companies in the world, the same Incorporating Services serves as the registered agent of Burnt Jacket Holdings and several companies we know are associated with Mark Zuckerberg. Coincidence? You decide.
It may seem unbelievable to some that Mark Zuckerberg might soon be our neighbor here in the Moosehead Lake Region, but it really isn’t that far of a stretch. One of Zuckerberg’s former associates owns property in the Moosehead Region, Zuckerberg has been known to vacation in Maine, and Mark Zuckerberg held a highly publicized meeting in 2017 with members of the Katahdin Region in Millinocket to discuss the future of the area. As many know, the Katahdin Region is right in Burnt Jacket’s backyard, at least as the crow flies."

#NativeHawaiians unite to buy back land from #billionaire in a move never seen before
#Molokai residents want to return #Hawaiian lands to Hawaiian hands
“Today, that prophecy lives with us. The #makaainana, the workers of the land, are rising once again. This is our moment to move from defense to action, to fulfill that prophecy, to reclaim Molokai for our #kupuna, past and present, and for future generations.”
By Christine Hitt, Sep 18, 2025
"For generations, Native Hawaiians have been displaced from ancestral lands, and on the island of Molokai, where one-third of the island is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered billionaire investment firm #GuocoGroup, that physical separation is abundantly clear.
"The current owner, Guoco Group, bought Molokai Ranch in 2005 with plans to build 200 luxury homes, but it shut down operations in 2008 after the Molokai community opposed the development. The company put the ranch up for sale in 2017 at an asking price of $260 million. Ever since, the land has been sitting in limbo, and the foreign billionaire owner has been absent for more than a decade.
"Following years of the ranch’s neglect by the landowner, the Molokai Heritage Trust formed with the goal to return Hawaiian lands to Hawaiian hands. The group is done waiting for a benevolent buyer to purchase Molokai Ranch in hopes that things will be different. Instead, the community is taking an offensive approach, coming together peacefully with the collective goal to buy back the land to take care of, protect and steward."

From 2014... How #USEvangelicals Fueled the Rise of #Russia’s ‘#ProFamily’ Right
An alliance is born between #AntiGay, #AntiAbortion American groups and the #RussianOrthodoxChurch
by Adam Federman, January 7, 2014
Long excerpt [pay attention to the names named!] :
"This rising #Russian social #conservative movement frequently invokes the argument that #ProGay and #WomensRights groups are puppets of the West, which is seeking to undermine Russian autonomy and interfere in the country’s internal affairs. At an annual meeting of journalists and academics presided over by Vladimir #Putin in Valdai in September, the Russian president said that European countries had strayed from their roots by legalizing #GayMarriage. He urged Russians to embrace the conservative values of the #OrthodoxChurch and other traditional religions and issued a warning to those who might want to challenge those values. 'Russia’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity are unconditional—these are red lines no one is allowed to cross,' he declared.
"Several #LGBT rights groups have been targeted under another new law, which requires any nongovernmental organization that receives funding from other countries for political activities to register as a '#ForeignAgent.' Failure to do so can lead to investigations, legal action or crippling fines. The implication is that these groups are not only agents of the West but also out of touch with everyday Russians.
"The irony is that it is the new conservative vanguard—anti-gay, anti-abortion and pro–'#TraditionalFamily'—that has most successfully cultivated the West’s financial and institutional support. Scott Lively, an extreme anti-gay campaigner, all but took credit for the new law, calling it 'one of the proudest achievements of my career,' while #BrianBrown, president of the #NationalOrganizationForMarriage, visited Moscow with much fanfare just before the new law was passed. But the language of Russia’s anti-gay and anti-abortion movement seems to borrow most heavily from mainstream evangelicals and conservative politicians in the United States and Europe. Referring to the anti-abortion bill passed in 2011, Lyubov Erofeeva, executive director of the Russian Association for Population and Development, a women’s advocacy group, said: 'It was 100 percent clear that everything was copied from the experience of American #fundamentalists and conservative circles of several European countries where #abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.'
"The church’s close ties with American evangelicals reflect a shift in policy. For much of the post-Soviet period, the Russian Orthodox Church held evangelical denominations at arm’s length, fearing that they would compete for influence within Russia. But as the church has consolidated its power, it has come to view the evangelical community as a partner. 'The #ROC realizes that the evangelical denominations are not their opponents but rather their allies in the relations between the church and the secular population,' says Olga Kazmina, a professor of ethnology at Moscow State University.
" 'It’s a re-envisioned paradigm,' says Father #LeonidKishkovsky, head of the Orthodox Church in America’s Department of External Affairs. In many ways, it makes sense, he adds: both religious groups share an ideological commitment and have grown disillusioned with the way mainline churches have dealt with issues like gay marriage and abortion. 'But what I’m quite nervous about is the ideological core which actually motivates both sides,' Kishkovsky says. 'Where is the motivating force? Is it in faith? Or is it in political ideology?'
"The Russian Orthodox Church’s chief emissary to the US evangelical community is #HilarionAlfeyev, a high-ranking bishop and chairman of the powerful Department of External Church Relations (the position previously held by #PatriarchKirill). In February 2011, the 47-year-old Alfeyev traveled to Washington, where he met with prominent evangelical and 'pro-family' leaders; and then to Dallas, where he addressed thousands of members of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and emphasized the importance of 'creat[ing] new alliances,' especially around issues of marriage, abortion and the family. Alfeyev also visited the #DallasTheologicalSeminary and had an hour-long meeting with #GeorgeWBush.
"The trip to Dallas grew out of an increasingly close friendship between church leaders and a small circle of American and European Christian businessmen in Moscow. Alfeyev’s visit was organized by #JerryFullinwider, an #OilExecutive and elder of the #HighlandParkChurch who, until recently, had business interests in Russia. Fullinwider, a member of the #KochBrothers’ circle of major donors—those who have given more than $1 million to #Koch-related causes—met Alfeyev through his friend Bob Foresman, head of #Barclays Capital in Russia. This select group of businessmen has unusual access to Alfeyev. In an interview for this article, Fullinwider described having dinner at Alfeyev’s private residence on a recent trip to Moscow. 'He’s a real busy guy,' says Fullinwider. 'He’s very, very hard to get in touch with unless you have a special number and you know the main guy who handles him, who’s a good friend of mine.'
"Alfeyev’s first trip to the United States paved the way for others, and in October 2012 he delivered a lecture at Villanova University, where he received an honorary degree and paid a visit to the Milwaukee-based #LyndeAndHarryBradleyFoundation. One of the largest donor organizations of its kind in the United States, the #BradleyFoundation, with more than $600 million in assets, is known for its contributions to US conservative groups like the #HeritageFoundation and the #HeartlandInstitute. But its charity isn’t limited to home: over the last four years, the foundation has given $750,000 to the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation in Moscow, a new educational and cultural initiative founded in 2009 by Alfeyev, Russian #billionaire and pharmaceutical magnate #VadimYakunin, and #LeonidSevastianov, a 35-year-old international business consultant and head of Stratinvest.ru, a consulting and public relations firm. In 2009, through Alfeyev’s charity, the Bradley Foundation donated $150,000 to support the 'Day of the Family,' a recently created Russian holiday honoring faith and fidelity. The annual event has been championed by #SvetlanaMedvedeva, wife of Prime Minister #DmitriMedvedev, a staunch #AntiAbortion advocate.
“We want to promote the idea of the unity between the West and Russia on the basis of common Christian roots,” Sevastianov told Inside the Vatican magazine in 2009. “We believe in this alliance among traditional Christian countries…and we believe that, with a united voice, we can be a strong force against the radical secular world which has become dominant in our societies.”

CW: USPol - Trump, tariffs
As a consequence of these various #personality, #temperament, and #intellectual #deficits, Trump is, for a world leader, amazingly easy to #manipulate.
If you #butter him up, and suggest doing something will make him look good - well, there's a good chance he'll listen intently. He likes to listen to people telling him he's wonderful, and giving him easy ways to appear more wonderful. Much better than listening to people asking him to choose between tough or ugly choices on complicated subjects.
He's also got that tendency where he believes whatever the last person he spoke to told him. This is why people - remember those oligarchs who were literally in front-row seats at his inauguration? - want to be close to him, figuratively and literally. If you keep his #ear, you can keep him behind your needs, your ideas, your wants.
So, given all this, why the hell did he declare #economic #war on #Canada (and Mexico, and China, but I'm #Canadian) when it was:
(a) obviously a bad idea for the US and the world #economy; there will be pain, and it will hurt him - price of eggs and all that
(b) not something that was going to personally #profit him in any big way
(c) not in the interests of his #billionaire oligarchs
(d) not a primary plank in his campaign - at least not in this scorched-earth approach he's takenWhy?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received millions in gifts over 20 years, group says
by Dan Morrison
June 7, 2024"#SupremeCourt #JusticeClarenceThomas has accepted more than $2 million in gifts over the last 20 years, according to a new analysis, far eclipsing the value of those received by his fellow justices.
"A report released Thursday by the advocacy group #FixTheCourt said the value of 93 gifts to all of Thomas’ fellow justices between 2004 and 2023 were totaled $248,000, while Thomas alone received 103 gifts worth $2.4 million.
"In addition to that haul, Fix the Court flagged another 101 'likely gifts' to Thomas worth nearly $1.8 million stemming from free luxury travel and lodging he received from #billionaire #HarlanCrow and others."

I wanted to keep calling it twitter but maybe I'll use the new name, because then I can say "I liked #twitter, but #X is rubbish!"
e.g. Does this search result mean nobody at #JGI2023 is willing to pay the guy who killed twitter to get their blue tick?
