Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S.
The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

EU has paused retaliatory tariffs adopted yesterday for 90 days. But 🇺🇸steel/aluminium tariffs they were responding to have *not* been paused, they're being levied

So this is how things stand:

🇺🇸👊🇪🇺 tariffs:
25% on steel/aluminium
25% on automobiles
10% on everything else

🇪🇺👊🇺🇸 retaliatory tariffs:
0%
Trump's stated reason for pausing the extra tariffs on all except China was that they didn't retaliate like China did.

But the EU *did* retaliate, in a vote yesterday. However this wasn't for Liberation Day, it was for the steel/aluminium tariffs from February which haven't been paused.
Will the EU pause retaliatory tariffs even though Trump hasn't paused what they were reacting to?

Nichts in unserem Leben ist frei von Politik. Jedes Objekt, jede Handlung, jede Entscheidung trägt die Spuren von Macht, Interessen und Regeln, die unsere Welt formen – sichtbar oder unsichtbar, bewusst oder unbewusst.
Wenn jemand nach Reformen ruft, will ich wissen: welche? Eine Erhöhung des Pensionsantrittsalters wäre eine Reform. Eine Senkung aber auch. Es beizubehalten und etwas anderes zu ändern, wäre auch eine Reform. Deine Reform ist nicht neutral. Politik ist nicht neutral. Und alles Handeln ist politisch.
