Recently Ann Telnaes resigned her position as a political cartoonist for The Washington Post – a role she’d held for 16 years – in protest over the newspaper’s refusal to publish this cartoon. It apparently offended the oligarchs who have taken seats at Donald Trump’s table, including Amazon found Jeff Bezos who owns The Washington Post.
Good for her! In an environment increasingly hostile to free speech and free press, with right-wing extremists banning books instead of childhood hunger, it’s great that someone has the backbone to stand up to the madness. Here is Telnaes’ editorial explaining her decision.

Scary times. I’m wondering which news outlets are the most trustworthy now.
I can’t say anything wrong with this cartoon. It conveys a message and what’s wrong with that?
As it stated, The Washington Post is now owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos; one of the many multi-billionaires who stood alongside Donald Trump at his inauguration. When truth is called out to power, the people with that power often get offended; thus proving what fragile souls they have.
Fragile egos indeed. And the belief that o anyone who doesn’t grovel in their presence needs punishing.
