If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

It's almost impossible to choose a favourite children's book from 2025 as there have been so many great ones published but, if pushed, what would yours be? These would be very high on my list.
I'll add the suggestions to my bookshop.org page.

Not today, Jeff. We can’t let our literary culture & reading lives be controlled by a billionaire. Amazon may sell lots of books but with complete disregard for their workers, their partners, the planet and our communities. From today, buy your ebooks & support indie bookshops uk.bookshop.org/ebooks

Happy Publication Day to @lenniesaurus.bsky.social, POYUMS ANNAW 🌊 is out today!

These poems are a call to arms, confronting ideas of patriarchy, gender-based violence and societal injustice with equal parts tenderness, quick-wit and righteous fury.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
