Last time I had to go on Amazon, they wouldn't even show me the price of a thing unless I had prime.

Lead me to your taker🫥

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

Why stop at company mergers? Billionaires could merge too. Instead of three guys, there could be just a BeZuckerMusk

we also need to hear the experiences citizens of those countries have had in responding to authoritarianism.

Brian Klaas @brianklaas.bsky.social · 11d

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics.

They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

Necessity might be the mother of invention, and laziness is surely the father.
