Is today's news tempting you to cancel your Washington Post subscription? I fear an exodus of liberal readers will only hasten its shift rightward. May I suggest the better move is to break up with Amazon? We have a guide for you:

1. Big news! The FTC took action today to end Walmart’s stranglehold on the grocery market. The agency filed suit against Pepsi for giving illegal and unfair price advantages to Walmart while charging competing grocery retailers higher prices.

"Much of Walmart’s market dominance can be attributed to its use of this illegal and anti-competitive tactic," says Stacy Mitchell

1. The FTC today sued Pepsi, the food and drink giant, for conspiring with one big box retailer to rig the price of its sodas and chips while ripping off small stores and grocers.

Yes, this is about fairness, about bullying that creates food deserts. It's also about the end of the age of Walmart.

I really love Kevin Killian's Amazon reviews, and the new @semiotexte.bsky.social anthology collecting them is a remarkable book. Thanks to @clereviewbooks.bsky.social for running this thoughtful review today.

BREAKING: Amazon workers in NYC are going on strike right before Christmas—the company's busiest time.

The first unionized Amazon warehouse is going to shut down in a historic walkout.

Workers plan to hit the company where it hurts to win their first union contract.

Terrific news: The judge has sided with the FTC in its case seeking to block the Kroger-Albertsons merger. This is the first time in decades that the gov't has even tried to block a grocery merger. The ruling shows that the antitrust tide is truly shifting — even in the courts!
