I hope Jeff Bezos lives up to what he’s saying he’ll do

Regardless, my instinct when I heard the announcement was to say that we should not leap to assume either interpretation of bad faith on Bezos’ part. Bad faith may be in play here and this may be the launch of a transformation of the opinion section into an arm of the MAGA movement.

But on their face, individual liberty and free markets are not bad causes to defend.

The libertarian magazine, Reason, is more right-wing than I am on many economic issues and also more left-wing than I am on various criminal justice issues. But it’s reliably a good read. And you’ll find there things like stories about how the Trump-appointed Acting US Attorney for DC is menacing free speech rights, how the Trump FTC appears to be contemplating a new era of anti-woke censorship, and about an alarming Montana bill that would criminalize interstate travel for the purposes of seeking an abortion.
