This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained. She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families. She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

What a fantastic picture of the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial -- reflective of this uncommon stretch of frigid, icy weather. Thanks to @hocofoto (Seth Hoffman) for sharing this amazing capture with us on Instagram.

Opinion: Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s movement of immigrants arrested in Minnesota to faraway detention facilities has structural parallels to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II:

Isn't this fun? DC wind chill has been 0-5 degrees since 8am. The same is true at most other reporting stations in the area. Winds still to gust near and over 50 mph into early evening with scattered trees down and power outages.

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

Journalists from The Washington Post have chronicled the biggest and most important moments in our team’s history. We are thankful to these dedicated professionals for the years of coverage they have provided to our passionate fans and to baseball fans across the country.

This story, shared here four hours ago, was written with the inimitable and utterly irreplaceable @nitashatiku who was laid off yesterday, the same day our piece ran on the front page of the newspaper. Hard to fathom.

7 days after cancer surgery that saved my life, I stand in solidarity with my Washington Post colleagues. Til my lungs collapse. My job was not cut. For as long as I can and breathe, I will try my hardest to continue the great storytelling tradition at The Post.

A senior Yorkshire Terrier was rescued at the bottom of a trash chute in Washington. The malnourished, neglected dog — now named Apple — is doing much better after volunteers have taken her in to nurse her back to health.

Yesterday, I was wet-eyed (obvi) on the Metro, wearing my Post beanie (obvi), and a woman, a stranger, leaned over and hugged me. Which is to say: The entire city understands the scope of this devastating tragedy…

The Washington Post laid off its entire award-winning photo staff. Every photographer, fired. The WaPo photo staff has won 5 Pulitzers, including as recently as 2019. With a newsroom that still has 300 journalists, how do you produce a daily report with…no photographers? —>

Lost my job at the Washington Post today, along with many of the best in the business. I want to keep covering tech and the internet. If you have leads on jobs for me or my colleagues, please reach out. I’m so proud of our work.

After 8 years writing the tech column @washingtonpost, I am among folks who were laid off today. I’m grateful for the stories I got to tell and the impact we made on privacy, sustainability & AI. You can keep following my work on my new (free) Substack

What happened today at The Washington Post is simply devastating -- deep and hard-won trust and sourcing, mountains of expertise and a combined centuries' worth of institutional knowledge gone up in an instant. It's a collective loss, but please consider donating to support those

For the past 4 years, I’ve worked with @siobhan_ogrady. She’s been the best journalist and bureau chief. Nobody has been as adamant on getting the most relevant stories, nobody has been more humane and caring in their work. This is a dark day. #shame @JeffBezos

Thank you.

Hundreds of our members have been laid off without rhyme or reason. Those who remain are reeling. One of our own started this GoFundMe. If you are inclined, feel free to share or donate.

+1. Will proudly continue to be a print subscriber, because the remaining staffers will continue to report the heck out of politics, the federal government and national security.

The Washington Post has been not just a great newspaper, but a critical force in American conversation and life. Those of use who love the city of Washington know how much we have needed the Post. What is happening there today is gutting. Thinking of all the friends I love
