(((Cindy Weinstein)))<p>Righteous: "But the cost of alliance with an important national institution that has such an important role to play in pushing back against authoritarian rule, but declines to do so for spurious and selfish reasons, feels too great. And Soon-Shiong’s conscious pattern of détente with Trump has in fact recast the paper’s core identity to one of appeasement with an authoritarian madman. I am loath to affiliate with that identity in any way." <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HarryLitman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarryLitman</span></a></p><p><a href="https://harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just-resigned-from-the-los" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">harrylitman.substack.com/p/why</span><span class="invisible">-i-just-resigned-from-the-los</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/LATimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LATimes</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a></p>
