Karen Attiah writing in The Golden Hour, on (alas) Substack:

One of life's most agonizing decisions is debating when to walk away from something you once loved.

Attiah, you may recall, was wrongfully fired from The Washington Post after writing about Charlie Kirk’s death, and was ordered reinstated after winning an arbitration hearing over that firing.

While I remain proud of the victory, I came to the painful realization that returning to The Washington Post would come without the guaranteed freedom and institutional support to do what I loved: use my voice, seek truth, and serve readers.

I have decided not to return to what The Washington Post has become. I have accepted a settlement with the Post and will move forward with my life and career.

While I’ll miss her sharp voice in the opinion pages of WaPo, I hope this leads to more sessions of her Resistance Summer School (now Resistance Study Series).
