   "Wikipedia still can't be sold," says the headline on the donation page. Which also means it can't be bought and wrecked by fascist oligarchs.

   It's an Internet treasure, and it's under attack from some of the world's worst people. Elon Musk's vicious denunciation of this irreplaceable resource would be shameful for someone who had an ounce of shame.

   This is one of most important donations I make each year. I hope you'll join me in supporting Wikipedia.

   in reply to

   @strypey yeah, my view has been that both Biden and Harris *avoiding* celebrating and highlighting Lina Khan was itself a key feature of the failure of Democratic reelection. They took the most substantial and important work of the administration and shied away from it out of some stupid deference to the oligarchs.

   It fits how Harris focused on traditional rich-investor and pop-star endorsements over appealing to regular citizens

   @JessTheUnstill @greg.doucette
   I very much believe it’s both.

   The press is full of diligent, well-meaning reporters just trying to do their best, grasping desperately for guiding principles in wild times.

   It’s also full of people, particularly in editorial and executive roles, who (1) prioritize eyeballs over good reporting and/or (2) are beholden to and actively supporting oligarchs.

   It’s the former whom the exploits target, the latter who refuse to fix them.
