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.

Meanwhile, an insufficient amount of aid is being allowed into the #GazaStrip, merely a smokescreen to pretend the siege is over. The same day, Israeli forces have issued evacuation orders, limiting people’s access to medical care and our teams’ ability to provide it.

Albanese claims victory in Vegemite fight as Canada concedes spread poses ‘low’ risk to humans
Prime minister said his government had lobbied Canada to reconsider ruling that cafe could not import Vegemite
